Jacobi Elliptic Functions As Solutions of Nonlinear Ordinary Differential Equations

The derivatives of the three basic Jacobi elliptic functions are:

\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}z}\, \mathrm{sn}\,(z) = \mathrm{cn}\,(z)\, \mathrm{dn}\,(z),



\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}z}\, \mathrm{dn}\,(z) = - k^2 \mathrm{sn}\,(z)\, \mathrm{cn}\,(z).

With the addition theorems above and for a given k with 0 < k < 1 they therefore are solutions to the following nonlinear ordinary differential equations:

  • solves the differential equations
and
  • solves the differential equations
and
  • solves the differential equations
and

Famous quotes containing the words jacobi, functions, solutions, ordinary and/or differential:

    “During the long ages of class rule, which are just beginning to cease, only one form of sovereignty has been assigned to all men—that, namely, over all women. Upon these feeble and inferior companions all men were permitted to avenge the indignities they suffered from so many men to whom they were forced to submit.”
    —Mary Putnam Jacobi (1842–1906)

    “The mind is a finer body, and resumes its functions of feeding, digesting, absorbing, excluding, and generating, in a new and ethereal element. Here, in the brain, is all the process of alimentation repeated, in the acquiring, comparing, digesting, and assimilating of experience. Here again is the mystery of generation repeated.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Science fiction writers foresee the inevitable, and although problems and catastrophes may be inevitable, solutions are not.”
    —Isaac Asimov (1920–1992)

    “The ordinary literary man, even though he be an eminent historian, is ill-fitted to be a mentor in affairs of government. For ... things are for the most part very simple in books, and in practical life very complex.”
    —Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)

    “But how is one to make a scientist understand that there is something unalterably deranged about differential calculus, quantum theory, or the obscene and so inanely liturgical ordeals of the precession of the equinoxes.”
    —Antonin Artaud (1896–1948)
