Figure 19.3.9 (See in context.)

Figure 19.3.9:

\Re\left(K\left(k\right)\right)

as a function of complex

k^{2}

for

-2\leq\Re\left(k^{2}\right)\leq 2

-2\leq\Im\left(k^{2}\right)\leq 2

. The real part is symmetric under reflection in the real axis. On the branch cut (

k^{2}\geq 1

) it is infinite at

k^{2}=1

, and has the value

K(1/k)/k

when

k^{2}>1
