§19.25(i) Legendre’s Integrals as Symmetric Integrals

Notes:: (19.25.1), (19.25.2), and (19.25.3) are derived from the incomplete cases. For (19.25.4) put in (19.25.16). (19.25.5) and (19.25.7) come from Carlson (1977b, (9.3-2) and (9.3-3)). For (19.25.6) and (19.25.12) apply (19.18.4) to (19.25.5) and (19.25.8), respectively. (19.25.8) and (19.25.15) are special cases of (19.16.12). To get (19.25.9), (19.25.10), and (19.25.11), let $(c-1,c-k^{2},c)=(x,y,z)$ and eliminate $\mathop{R_{G}\/}\nolimits$ between (19.25.7) and each of the three forms of (19.25.10) obtained by permuting and . For (19.25.13) combine (19.2.6) and (19.25.9). For (19.25.14) see Zill and Carlson (1970, (2.5)). For (19.25.16) substitute (19.25.14) in (19.7.8) and use (19.2.20).

The transformations in §19.7(ii) result from the symmetry and homogeneity of functions on the right-hand sides of (19.25.5), (19.25.7), and (19.25.14). For example, if we write (19.25.5) as

then the five nontrivial permutations of that leave $\mathop{R_{F}\/}\nolimits$ invariant change $k^{2}$ () into $1/k^{2}$ , ${k^{{\prime}}}^{2}$ , $1/{k^{{\prime}}}^{2}$ , $-k^{2}/{k^{{\prime}}}^{2}$ , $-{k^{{\prime}}}^{2}/k^{2}$ , and $\mathop{\sin\/}\nolimits\phi$ ( $=\sqrt{(z-x)/z}$ ) into $k\mathop{\sin\/}\nolimits\phi$ , $-i\mathop{\tan\/}\nolimits\phi$ , $-ik^{{\prime}}\mathop{\tan\/}\nolimits\phi$ , $(k^{{\prime}}\mathop{\sin\/}\nolimits\phi)/\sqrt{1-k^{2}{\mathop{\sin\/}% \nolimits^{{2}}}\phi}$ , $-ik\mathop{\sin\/}\nolimits\phi/\sqrt{1-k^{2}{\mathop{\sin\/}\nolimits^{{2}}}\phi}$ . Thus the five permutations induce five transformations of Legendre’s integrals (and also of the Jacobian elliptic functions).

The three changes of parameter of $\mathop{\Pi\/}\nolimits\!\left(\phi,\alpha^{2},k\right)$ in §19.7(iii) are unified in (19.21.12) by way of (19.25.14).

In (19.25.32), (19.25.33), and (19.25.34), substitute $x=\mathop{\mathrm{ps}\/}\nolimits\left(u,k\right)$ , $\mathop{\mathrm{sp}\/}\nolimits\left(u,k\right)$ , and $\mathop{\mathrm{pq}\/}\nolimits\left(u,k\right)$ , respectively, to recover (19.25.31).

Inversions of 12 elliptic integrals of the first kind, producing the 12 Jacobian elliptic functions, are combined and simplified by using the properties of $\mathop{R_{F}\/}\nolimits\!\left(x,y,z\right)$ . See (19.29.19), Carlson (2005), and (22.15.11), and compare with Abramowitz and Stegun (1964, Eqs. (17.4.41)–(17.4.52)). For analogous integrals of the second kind, which are not invertible in terms of single-valued functions, see (19.29.20) and (19.29.21) and compare with Gradshteyn and Ryzhik (2000, §3.153,1–10 and §3.156,1–9).

§19.25(vi) Weierstrass Elliptic Functions

Notes:: To prove (19.25.35) use (23.6.36), with $z=\mathop{\wp\/}\nolimits\!\left(w\right)$ as prescribed in the text that follows (23.6.36), substitute $u=t+\mathop{\wp\/}\nolimits\!\left(w\right)$ and compare with (19.16.1). Then put $z=\omega_{j}$ to obtain (19.25.38). For (19.25.37) and (19.25.39) see Carlson (1964, (3.10) and (3.2)). For (19.25.40) combine Erdélyi et al. (1953b, §§13.12(22), 13.13(22)) and (19.25.35).

For these results and extensions to the Appell function $\mathop{{F_{{1}}}\/}\nolimits$ (§16.13) and Lauricella’s function $\mathop{F_{D}\/}\nolimits$ see Carlson (1963). ( $\mathop{{F_{{1}}}\/}\nolimits$ and $\mathop{F_{D}\/}\nolimits$ are equivalent to the -function of 3 and variables, respectively, but lack full symmetry.)
