Asymptotic Approximations for Symmetric Elliptic Integrals

چکیده
Abstract. Symmetric elliptic integrals, which have been used as replacements for Legendre’s integrals in recent integral tables and computer codes, are homogeneous functions of three or four variables. When some of the variables are much larger than the others, asymptotic approximations with error bounds are presented. In most cases they are derived from a uniform approximation to the integrand. As an application the symmetric elliptic integrals of the first, second, and third kinds are proved to be linearly independent with respect to coefficients that are rational functions.

Asymptotic Expansions of Symmetric Standard Elliptic Integrals
Symmetric standard elliptic integrals are considered when one of their parameters is larger than the others. Distributional approach is used for deriving five convergent expansions of these integrals in inverse powers of the respective five possible asymptotic parameters. Four of these expansions involve also a logarithmic term in the asymptotic variable. Coefficients of these expansions are ob...
متن کاملAsymptotic Formulas for Generalized Elliptic-type Integrals
Epstein-Hubbell [6] elliptic-type integrals occur in radiation field problems. The object of the present paper is to consider a unified form of different elliptic-type integrals, defined and developed recently by several authors. We obtain asymptotic formulas for the generalized elliptic-type integrals. Keywords—Elliptic-type Integrals, Hypergeometric Functions, Asymptotic Formulas.
متن کاملThree Improvements in Reduction and Computation of Elliptic Integrals
Three improvements in reduction and computation of elliptic integrals are made. 1. Reduction formulas, used to express many elliptic integrals in terms of a few standard integrals, are simplified by modifying the definition of intermediate "basic integrals." 2. A faster than quadratically convergent series is given for numerical computation of the complete symmetric elliptic integral of the thi...

We consider several model problems from a class of elliptic perturbation equations in two dimensions. The domains, the diierential operators, the boundary conditions, and so on, are rather simple, and are chosen in a way that the solutions can be obtained in the form of integrals or Fourier series. By using several techniques from asymptotic analysis (saddle point methods, for instance) we try ...
متن کاملAnalytic Solution for Hypersonic Flow Past a Slender Elliptic Cone Using Second-Order Perturbation Approximations
An approximate analytical solution is obtained for hypersonic flow past a slender elliptic cone using second-order perturbation techniques in spherical coordinate systems. The analysis is based on perturbations of hypersonic flow past a circular cone aligned with the free stream, the perturbations stemming from the small cross-section eccentricity. By means of hypersonic approximations for the ...
