Jacobi Elliptic Functions - Expansion in Terms of The Nome

Expansion in Terms of The Nome

Let the nome be and let the argument be . Then the functions have expansions as Lambert series

\operatorname{sn}(u)=\frac{2\pi}{K\sqrt{m}}
\sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{q^{n+1/2}}{1-q^{2n+1}} \sin (2n+1)v,
\operatorname{cn}(u)=\frac{2\pi}{K\sqrt{m}}
\sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{q^{n+1/2}}{1+q^{2n+1}} \cos (2n+1)v,
\operatorname{dn}(u)=\frac{\pi}{2K} + \frac{2\pi}{K}
\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{q^{n}}{1+q^{2n}} \cos 2nv.

Famous quotes containing the words expansion and/or terms:

    Artistic genius is an expansion of monkey imitativeness.
    W. Winwood Reade (1838–1875)

    What had really caused the women’s movement was the additional years of human life. At the turn of the century women’s life expectancy was forty-six; now it was nearly eighty. Our groping sense that we couldn’t live all those years in terms of motherhood alone was “the problem that had no name.” Realizing that it was not some freakish personal fault but our common problem as women had enabled us to take the first steps to change our lives.
    Betty Friedan (20th century)
