  • (a)

    In the general case, given by c d 0 , we compute the roots α , β , γ , say, of the cubic equation 4 t 3 c t d = 0 ; see §1.11(iii). These roots are necessarily distinct and represent e 1 , e 2 , e 3 in some order.

    If c and d are real, and the discriminant is positive, that is c 3 27 d 2 > 0 , then e 1 , e 2 , e 3 can be identified via (23.5.1), and k 2 , k 2 obtained from (23.6.16).

    If c 3 27 d 2 < 0 , or c and d are not both real, then we label α , β , γ so that the triangle with vertices α , β , γ is positively oriented and [ α , γ ] is its longest side (chosen arbitrarily if there is more than one). In particular, if α , β , γ are collinear, then we label them so that β is on the line segment ( α , γ ) . In consequence, k 2 = ( β γ ) / ( α γ ) , k 2 = ( α β ) / ( α γ ) satisfy k 2 0 k 2 (with strict inequality unless α , β , γ are collinear); also | k 2 | , | k 2 | 1 .

    Finally, on taking the principal square roots of k 2 and k 2 we obtain values for k and k that lie in the 1st and 4th quadrants, respectively, and 2 ω 1 , 2 ω 3 are given by

    23.22.1 2 ω 1 M ( 1 , k ) = 2 i ω 3 M ( 1 , k ) = π 3 c ( 2 + k 2 k 2 ) ( k 2 k 2 ) d ( 1 k 2 k 2 ) ,

    where M denotes the arithmetic-geometric mean (see §§19.8(i) and 22.20(ii)). This process yields 2 possible pairs ( 2 ω 1 , 2 ω 3 ), corresponding to the 2 possible choices of the square root.
