Figure 19.3.12: $\imagpart{(\mathop{E\/}\nolimits\!\left(k\right))}$ as a function of complex $k^{2}$ for $-2\leq\realpart{(k^{2})}\leq 2$ , $-2\leq\imagpart{(k^{2})}\leq 2$ . The imaginary part is 0 for $k^{2}\leq 1$ and is antisymmetric under reflection in the real axis. On the upper edge of the branch cut ( $k^{2}>1$ ) it has the (negative) value $\mathop{K\/}\nolimits\!\left(k^{{\prime}}\right)-\mathop{E\/}\nolimits\!\left(% k^{{\prime}}\right)$ , with limit 0 as $k^{2}\to 1+$ .

Annotations:

Symbols:: $\mathop{K\/}\nolimits\!\left(k\right)$ : Legendre’s complete elliptic integral of the first kind, $\mathop{E\/}\nolimits\!\left(k\right)$ : Legendre’s complete elliptic integral of the second kind, $\imagpart{}$ : imaginary part, $\realpart{}$ : real part, : real or complex modulus and $k^{{\prime}}$ : complementary modulus
