// This example uses Boost.Multiprecision to implement
// a high-precision Gauss-Laguerre quadrature integration.
// The quadrature is used to calculate the airy_ai(x) function
// for real-valued x on the positive axis with x.ge.1.
// In this way, the integral representation could be seen
// as part of a scheme to calculate real-valued Airy functions
// on the positive axis for medium to large argument.
// A Taylor series or hypergeometric function (not part
// of this example) could be used for smaller arguments.
// This example has been tested with decimal digits counts
// ranging from 21...301, by adjusting the parameter
// local::my_digits10 at compile time.
// The quadrature integral representaion of airy_ai(x) used
// in this example can be found in:
// A. Gil, J. Segura, N.M. Temme, "Numerical Methods for Special
// Functions" (SIAM Press 2007), Sect. 5.3.3, in particular Eq. 5.110,
// page 145. Subsequently, Gil et al's book cites the another work:
// W. Gautschi, "Computation of Bessel and Airy functions and of
// related Gaussian quadrature formulae", BIT, 42 (2002), pp. 110-118.
