Eine neue Funktionalgleichung zur Bestimmung elliptischer Integrale erster Gattung und ihrer Umkehrungen. (A new functional equation for the definition of elliptic integrals of the first kind and their inverses) (Q919154): Difference between revisions

In order to calculate \[ F(x;m)=\int^{x}_{0}(1-t^ 2)^{-1/2}(1- mt^ 2)^{-1/2} dt \] in the left neighbourhood of 1, the author offers the functional equation \[ F(x;m)=K(m)-F((1-x^ 2)^{1/2}(1-mx^ 2)^{-1/2};m), \] where \[ K(m)=(\pi /2)\sum^{\infty}_{n=0}((2n)!)^ 2 2^{-4n}(n!)^{-4} m^ n. \] For negative m, the equation \[ F(x;m)=(1-m)^{-1/2}F((1-m)^{1/2}(1- mx^ 2)^{-1/2}x;m(m-1)^{-1}) \] is stated and used. A functional equation for the inverse function of F with respect to the first variable is also offered. Two numerical examples \((m=\) and \(m=-2)\) are calculated in detail.
