Notes:: Three proofs of (19.7.1) are given in Duren (1991). To prove it from (19.21.1) put $z+1=1/k^{2}$ , use homogeneity, and apply the penultimate equation in (19.25.1) twice.

where upper signs apply if $\imagpart{k^{2}}>0$ and lower signs if $\imagpart{k^{2}}<0$ . This dichotomy of signs (missing in several references) is due to Fettis (1970).

§19.7(iii) Change of Parameter of $\mathop{\Pi\/}\nolimits\!\left(\phi,\alpha^{2},k\right)$

Notes:: All three relations follow from the change of parameter for the symmetric integral of the third kind; see §19.21(iii) and (19.25.14).

There are three relations connecting $\mathop{\Pi\/}\nolimits\!\left(\phi,\alpha^{2},k\right)$ and $\mathop{\Pi\/}\nolimits\!\left(\phi,\omega^{2},k\right)$ , where $\omega^{2}$ is a rational function of $\alpha^{2}$ . If $k^{2}$ and $\alpha^{2}$ are real, then both integrals are circular cases or both are hyperbolic cases (see §19.2(ii)).

The first of the three relations maps each circular region onto itself and each hyperbolic region onto the other; in particular, it gives the Cauchy principal value of $\mathop{\Pi\/}\nolimits\!\left(\phi,\alpha^{2},k\right)$ when $\alpha^{2}>{\mathop{\csc\/}\nolimits^{{2}}}\phi$ (see (19.6.5) for the complete case). Let $c={\mathop{\csc\/}\nolimits^{{2}}}\phi\neq\alpha^{2}$ . Then

19.7.8 $\mathop{\Pi\/}\nolimits\!\left(\phi,\alpha^{2},k\right)+\mathop{\Pi\/}% \nolimits\!\left(\phi,\omega^{2},k\right)=\mathop{F\/}\nolimits\!\left(\phi,k% \right)+\sqrt{c}\mathop{R_{C}\/}\nolimits\!\left((c-1)(c-k^{2}),(c-\alpha^{2})% (c-\omega^{2})\right),$ $\alpha^{2}\omega^{2}=k^{2}$ .

Symbols:: $\mathop{R_{C}\/}\nolimits\!\left(x,y\right)$ : Carlson’s combination of inverse circular and inverse hyperbolic functions, $\mathop{F\/}\nolimits\!\left(\phi,k\right)$ : Legendre’s incomplete elliptic integral of the first kind, $\mathop{\Pi\/}\nolimits\!\left(\phi,\alpha^{2},k\right)$ : Legendre’s incomplete elliptic integral of the third kind, $\phi$ : real or complex argument, : real or complex modulus, $\alpha^{2}$ : real or complex parameter and $\omega^{2}$

Since $k^{2}\leq c$ we have $\alpha^{2}\omega^{2}\leq c$ ; hence $\alpha^{2}>c$ implies $\omega^{2}<1\leq c$ .

The second relation maps each hyperbolic region onto itself and each circular region onto the other:

19.7.9 $(k^{2}-\alpha^{2})\mathop{\Pi\/}\nolimits\!\left(\phi,\alpha^{2},k\right)+(k^{% 2}-\omega^{2})\mathop{\Pi\/}\nolimits\!\left(\phi,\omega^{2},k\right)=k^{2}% \mathop{F\/}\nolimits\!\left(\phi,k\right)-\alpha^{2}\omega^{2}\sqrt{c-1}% \mathop{R_{C}\/}\nolimits\!\left(c(c-k^{2}),(c-\alpha^{2})(c-\omega^{2})\right),$ $(1-\alpha^{2})(1-\omega^{2})=1-k^{2}$ .

Symbols:: $\mathop{R_{C}\/}\nolimits\!\left(x,y\right)$ : Carlson’s combination of inverse circular and inverse hyperbolic functions, $\mathop{F\/}\nolimits\!\left(\phi,k\right)$ : Legendre’s incomplete elliptic integral of the first kind, $\mathop{\Pi\/}\nolimits\!\left(\phi,\alpha^{2},k\right)$ : Legendre’s incomplete elliptic integral of the third kind, $\phi$ : real or complex argument, : real or complex modulus, $\alpha^{2}$ : real or complex parameter and $\omega^{2}$

The third relation (missing from the literature of Legendre’s integrals) maps each circular region onto the other and each hyperbolic region onto the other:

19.7.10 $(1-\alpha^{2})\mathop{\Pi\/}\nolimits\!\left(\phi,\alpha^{2},k\right)+(1-% \omega^{2})\mathop{\Pi\/}\nolimits\!\left(\phi,\omega^{2},k\right)=\mathop{F\/% }\nolimits\!\left(\phi,k\right)+(1-\alpha^{2}-\omega^{2})\sqrt{c-k^{2}}\*% \mathop{R_{C}\/}\nolimits\!\left(c(c-1),(c-\alpha^{2})(c-\omega^{2})\right),$ $(k^{2}-\alpha^{2})(k^{2}-\omega^{2})=k^{2}(k^{2}-1)$ .
