The normal to an ellipse at a point P intersects the ellipse at another point Q. The angle corresponding to Q can be found by solving the equation (P-Q)·(dP)/(dt)=0 (1) for ...

The first solution to Lamé's differential equation, denoted E_n^m(x) for m=1, ..., 2n+1. They are also called Lamé functions. The product of two ellipsoidal harmonics of the ...

Ellipsoidal harmonics of the second kind, also known as Lamé functions of the second kind, are variously defined as F_m^p(x)=(2m+1)E_m^p(x) ...

The ordinary differential equation y^('')-(a+bk^2sn^2x+qk^4sn^4x)y=0, where snx=sn(x,k) is a Jacobi elliptic function (Arscott 1981).

A cone with elliptical cross section. The parametric equations for an elliptic cone of height h, semimajor axis a, and semiminor axis b are x = a(h-u)/hcosv (1) y = ...

An elliptic cylinder is a cylinder with an elliptical cross section. The elliptic cylinder is a quadratic ruled surface. The parametric equations for the laterals sides of an ...

The elliptic hyperboloid is the generalization of the hyperboloid to three distinct semimajor axes. The elliptic hyperboloid of one sheet is a ruled surface and has Cartesian ...

The first singular value k_1 of the elliptic integral of the first kind K(k), corresponding to K^'(k_1)=K(k_1), (1) is given by k_1 = 1/(sqrt(2)) (2) k_1^' = 1/(sqrt(2)). (3) ...

The third singular value k_3, corresponding to K^'(k_3)=sqrt(3)K(k_3), (1) is given by k_3=sin(pi/(12))=1/4(sqrt(6)-sqrt(2)). (2) As shown by Legendre, ...

Let 0<k^2<1. The incomplete elliptic integral of the third kind is then defined as Pi(n;phi,k) = int_0^phi(dtheta)/((1-nsin^2theta)sqrt(1-k^2sin^2theta)) (1) = ...
