§20.9(i) Elliptic Integrals

ⓘ

Keywords:: elliptic integrals, relations to other functions, theta functions
Notes:: See Walker (1996, p. 156), Whittaker and Watson (1927, p. 481), Serre (1973, p. 109), and McKean and Moll (1999, §3.3). For (20.9.3) combination of (20.4.6) and (23.6.5) – (23.6.7) yields $\wp\left(z\right)-e_{j}=\left(\frac{v\theta_{1}'\left(0,q\right)\theta_{j+1}% \left(v,q\right)}{z\theta_{1}\left(v,q\right)\theta_{j+1}\left(0,q\right)}% \right)^{2}$ , $j=1,2,3$ , where $v=\pi z/(2\omega_{1})$ . Then by application of (19.25.35) and use of the properties that $R_{F}$ is homogenous and of degree $-\tfrac{1}{2}$ in its three variables (§§19.16(ii), 19.16(iii)), we derive $z=\frac{z\theta_{1}\left(v,q\right)}{v\theta_{1}'\left(0,q\right)}R_{F}\left(% \frac{{\theta_{2}}^{2}\left(v,q\right)}{{\theta_{2}}^{2}\left(0,q\right)},% \frac{{\theta_{3}}^{2}\left(v,q\right)}{{\theta_{3}}^{2}\left(0,q\right)},% \frac{{\theta_{4}}^{2}\left(v,q\right)}{{\theta_{4}}^{2}\left(0,q\right)}\right)$ . This equation becomes (20.9.3) when the $z$ ’s are cancelled and $v$ is renamed $z$ . For (20.9.4), from (19.25.1) and Erdélyi et al. (1953b, 13.20(11)) we have $K\left(k\right)=R_{F}\left(0,\frac{{\theta_{4}}^{4}\left(0,q\right)}{{\theta_{% 3}}^{4}\left(0,q\right)},1\right)={\theta_{3}}^{2}\left(0,q\right)R_{F}\left(0% ,{\theta_{3}}^{4}\left(0,q\right),{\theta_{4}}^{4}\left(0,q\right)\right)$ , where the second equality uses the homogeneity and symmetry of $R_{F}$ . Comparison with (20.9.2) proves (20.9.4). For (20.9.5), by (19.25.1) the left side is $\exp\left(-\pi K\left(k^{\prime}\right)/K\left(k\right)\right)$ , which equals $q$ by Erdélyi et al. (1953b, 13.19(4)).

See §§22.2 and 23.6(i) for the relations of Jacobian and Weierstrass elliptic functions to theta functions.

The relations (20.9.1) and (20.9.2) between $k$ and $\tau$ (or $q$ ) are solutions of Jacobi’s inversion problem; see Baker (1995) and Whittaker and Watson (1927, pp. 480–485).

As a function of $\tau$ , $k^{2}$ is the elliptic modular function; see Walker (1996, Chapter 7) and (23.15.2), (23.15.6).
