Weierstrass's Elliptic Functions - Relation To Jacobi Elliptic Functions

Relation To Jacobi Elliptic Functions

For numerical work, it is often convenient to calculate the Weierstrass elliptic function in terms of the Jacobi's elliptic functions. The basic relations are

\wp(z) = e_{3} + \frac{e_{1} - e_{3}}{\mathrm{sn}^{2}\,w} = e_{2} + \left( e_{1} - e_{3} \right) \frac{\mathrm{dn}^{2}\,w}{\mathrm{sn}^{2}\,w} = e_{1} + \left( e_{1} - e_{3} \right) \frac{\mathrm{cn}^{2}\,w}{\mathrm{sn}^{2}\,w}

where e1-3 are the three roots described above and where the modulus k of the Jacobi functions equals

k \equiv \sqrt{\frac{e_{2} - e_{3}}{e_{1} - e_{3}}}

and their argument w equals

w \equiv z \sqrt{e_{1} - e_{3}}.

Famous quotes containing the words relation to, relation, jacobi and/or functions:

    “To be a good enough parent one must be able to feel secure in one’s parenthood, and one’s relation to one’s child...The security of the parent about being a parent will eventually become the source of the child’s feeling secure about himself.”
    —Bruno Bettelheim (20th century)

    “Among the most valuable but least appreciated experiences parenthood can provide are the opportunities it offers for exploring, reliving, and resolving one’s own childhood problems in the context of one’s relation to one’s child.”
    —Bruno Bettelheim (20th century)

    “... the most important effect of the suffrage is psychological. The permanent consciousness of power for effective action, the knowledge that their own thoughts have an equal chance with those of any other person ... this is what has always rendered the men of a free state so energetic, so acutely intelligent, so powerful.”
    —Mary Putnam Jacobi (1842–1906)

    “In today’s world parents find themselves at the mercy of a society which imposes pressures and priorities that allow neither time nor place for meaningful activities and relations between children and adults, which downgrade the role of parents and the functions of parenthood, and which prevent the parent from doing things he wants to do as a guide, friend, and companion to his children.”
    —Urie Bronfenbrenner (b. 1917)
