Expression As A Ratio of Polynomials
For even orders, the elliptic rational functions may be expressed as a ratio of two polynomials, both of order n.
- (for n even)
where are the zeroes and are the poles, and is a normalizing constant chosen such that . The above form would be true for odd orders as well except that for odd orders, there will be a pole at x=∞ and a zero at x=0 so that the above form must be modified to read:
- (for n odd)

Famous quotes containing the words expression and/or ratio:
“The psychological umbilical cord is more difficult to cut than the real one. We experience our children as extensions of ourselves, and we feel as though their behavior is an expression of something within us...instead of an expression of something in them. We see in our children our own reflection, and when we don’t like what we see, we feel angry at the reflection.”
—Elaine Heffner (20th century)
“Official dignity tends to increase in inverse ratio to the importance of the country in which the office is held.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
