On Computing Jacobi's Elliptic Function \texttt{sn}

Abstract: The paper presents a method to compute the Jacobi's elliptic function exttt{sn} on the period parallelogram. For fixed

m

it requires first to compute the complete elliptic integrals

K = K (m)

and

K^{'} = K (1 - m) .

The Newton method is used to compute sn(z,m), when

z i n [0, K] c u p [0, i K^{'}) .

The computation in any other point does not require the usage of any numerical procedure, it is done only with the help of the properties of sn.
