§22.16(i) Jacobi’s Amplitude (\mathop{\mathrm{am}\/}\nolimits) Function

Definition

22.16.1\mathop{\mathrm{am}\/}\nolimits\left(x,k\right)=\mathop{\mathrm{Arcsin}\/}\nolimits\!\left(\mathop{\mathrm{sn}\/}\nolimits\left(x,k\right)\right),x\in\Real,

where the inverse sine has its principal value when -K\leq x\leq K and is defined by continuity elsewhere. See Figure 22.16.1. \mathop{\mathrm{am}\/}\nolimits\left(x,k\right) is an infinitely differentiable function of x.

Special Values

For the Gudermannian function \mathop{\mathrm{gd}\/}\nolimits\!\left(x\right) see §4.23(viii).

Integral Representations

For -K<x<K,

22.16.14\mathop{\mathcal{E}\/}\nolimits\!\left(x,k\right)=\int _{0}^{{\mathop{\mathrm{sn}\/}\nolimits\left(x,k\right)}}\sqrt{\frac{1-k^{2}t^{2}}{1-t^{2}}}dt;

compare (19.2.5). See Figure 22.16.2.

§22.16(iii) Jacobi’s Zeta Function

Definition

With \mathop{E\/}\nolimits\!\left(k\right) and \mathop{K\/}\nolimits\!\left(k\right) as in §19.2(ii) and x\in\Real,

22.16.32\mathop{\mathrm{Z}\/}\nolimits\!\left(x|k\right)=\mathop{\mathcal{E}\/}\nolimits\!\left(x,k\right)-(\mathop{E\/}\nolimits\!\left(k\right)/\mathop{K\/}\nolimits\!\left(k\right))x.

See Figure 22.16.3. (Sometimes in the literature \mathop{\mathrm{Z}\/}\nolimits\!\left(x|k\right) is denoted by \mathop{\mathrm{Z}\/}\nolimits(\mathop{\mathrm{am}\/}\nolimits\left(x,k\right),k^{2}).)
