For ##x\in \mathbb{R}##, let $$A(x) = \frac{1}{2\pi}\, P.V. \int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{i(xy + \frac{y^3}{3})}\, dy$$ Show that the integral defining ##A(x)## exists and ##|A(x)| \le M(1 + |x|)^{-1/4}## for some numerical constant ##M##.

I assume by [itex]A(x)[/itex] you mean [itex]\operatorname{Ai}(x)[/itex] or vice-versa.
 
I meant ##A(x)##, sorry.
