Three Improvements in Reduction and Computation of Elliptic Integrals
نویسنده
چکیده
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 third kind. 3. A series expansion of an elliptic or hyperelliptic integral in elementary symmetric functions is given, illustrated with numerical coefficients for terms through degree seven for the symmetric elliptic integral of the first kind. Its usefulness for elliptic integrals, in particular, is important.

Reduction of Elliptic Integrals to Legendre Normal Form
It is well known that any elliptic integral can be transformed into a linear combination of elementary functions and Legendre’s three Elliptic functions. Methods for transforming these integrals to the Legendre form are described in numerous papers and textbooks. However, when it comes to actually designing and implementing such a reduction algorithm the existing methods require significant mod...
متن کاملAutomatic reduction of elliptic integrals using Carlson's relations
In a series of papers, B. C. Carlson produced tables of elliptic integrals, evaluating them in terms of easily computed symmetrical functions, using a group of multivariate recurrence relations. These relations are, however, cumbersome to use by hand and, in the absence of a specific reductive algorithm, difficult to use with computer algebra. This paper presents such an algorithm, guaranteed t...
متن کاملRecursive computation of derivatives of elliptic functions and of incomplete elliptic integrals
Presented are the recurrence formulas to compute the derivatives of a general elliptic function, Weierstrass’s ℘ function, the Jacobian elliptic functions, and the incomplete elliptic integrals in the forms of Jacobi and Legendre with respect to the argument or the amplitude. The double precision computation by the formulas is correct with 15 digits or so for the first 10 orders of differentiat...
متن کاملTable of integrals of squared Jacobian elliptic functions and reductions of related hypergeometric R-functions
Any product of real powers of Jacobian elliptic functions can be written in the form csm1 (u, k) ds2 (u, k) nsm3 (u, k). If all three m’s are even integers, the indefinite integral of this product with respect to u is a constant times a multivariate hypergeometric function R−a(b1, b2, b3; x, y, z) with halfodd-integral b’s and −a + b1 + b2 + b3 = 1, showing it to be an incomplete elliptic integ...
متن کاملFast Computation of Complete Elliptic Integrals and Jacobian Elliptic Functions
As a preparation step to compute Jacobian elliptic functions efficiently, we created a fast method to calculate the complete elliptic integral of the first and second kinds, K(m) and E(m), for the standard domain of the elliptic parameter, 0 < m < 1. For the case 0 < m < 0.9, the method utilizes 10 pairs of approximate polynomials of the order of 9 to 19 obtained by truncating Taylor series exp...
