If k is the elliptic modulus of an elliptic integral or elliptic function, then k^'=sqrt(1-k^2) (1) is called the complementary modulus. Complete elliptic integrals with ...

Let E(k) and K(k) be complete elliptic integrals of the first and second kinds, with E^'(k) and K^'(k) the complementary integrals. Then ...

tau is the ratio tau=omega_2/omega_1 of the two half-periods omega_1 and omega_2 of an elliptic function (Whittaker and Watson 1990, pp. 463 and 473) defined such that the ...

If P(x,y) and P(x^',y^') are two points on an ellipse (x^2)/(a^2)+(y^2)/(b^2)=1, (1) with eccentric angles phi and phi^' such that tanphitanphi^'=b/a (2) and A=P(a,0) and ...

The cornoid is the curve illustrated above given by the parametric equations x = acost(1-2sin^2t) (1) y = asint(1+2cos^2t), (2) where a>0. It is a sextic algebraic curve with ...

A strophoid of a circle with the pole O at the center of the circle and the fixed point P on the circumference of the circle. Freeth (1878, pp. 130 and 228) described this ...

A curve also known as the Gerono lemniscate. It is given by Cartesian coordinates x^4=a^2(x^2-y^2), (1) polar coordinates, r^2=a^2sec^4thetacos(2theta), (2) and parametric ...

The modular equation of degree n gives an algebraic connection of the form (K^'(l))/(K(l))=n(K^'(k))/(K(k)) (1) between the transcendental complete elliptic integrals of the ...

Lambda_0(phi|m)=(F(phi|1-m))/(K(1-m))+2/piK(m)Z(phi|1-m), where phi is the Jacobi amplitude, m is the parameter, Z is the Jacobi zeta function, and F(phi|m^') and K(m) are ...

Given a elliptic modulus k in an elliptic integral, the modular angle alpha is defined by k=sinalpha. An elliptic integral is written I(phi|m) when the parameter m is used, ...
