§19.17 Graphics

See Figures 19.17.119.17.8 for symmetric elliptic integrals with real arguments.

Because the R-function is homogeneous, there is no loss of generality in giving one variable the value 1 or 1 (as in Figure 19.3.2). For RF, RG, and RJ, which are symmetric in x,y,z, we may further assume that z is the largest of x,y,z if the variables are real, then choose z=1, and consider only 0x1 and 0y1. The cases x=0 or y=0 correspond to the complete integrals. The case y=1 corresponds to elementary functions.

To view RF(0,y,1) and 2RG(0,y,1) for complex y, put y=1k2, use (19.25.1), and see Figures 19.3.719.3.12.

Figure 19.17.8: RJ(0,y,1,p), 0y1, 1p2. Cauchy principal values are shown when p<0. The function is asymptotic to 32π/yp as p0+, and to (32/p)ln(16/y) as y0+. As p0 it has the limit (6/y)RG(0,y,1). When p=1, it reduces to RD(0,y,1). If y=1, then it has the value 32π/(p+p) when p>0, and 32π/(p1) when p<0. See (19.20.10), (19.20.11), and (19.20.8) for the cases p0±, y0+, and y=1, respectively.
