§19.25(i) Legendre’s Integrals as Symmetric Integrals

Let {k^{\prime}}^{2}=1-k^{2} and c={\csc}^{2}\phi with 0\leq\Re\phi\leq\ifrac{\pi}{2}. Then

with Cauchy principal value

19.25.7 E\left(\phi,k\right)=2R_{G}\left(c-1,c-k^{2},c\right)-(c-1)R_{F}\left(c-1,c-k^%
{2},c\right)-\ifrac{\sqrt{c-1}\sqrt{c-k^{2}}}{\sqrt{c}},
19.25.10 E\left(\phi,k\right)={k^{\prime}}^{2}R_{F}\left(c-1,c-k^{2},c\right)+\tfrac{1}%
{3}k^{2}{k^{\prime}}^{2}R_{D}\left(c-1,c,c-k^{2}\right)+k^{2}\ifrac{\sqrt{c-1}%
}{\left(\sqrt{c}\sqrt{c-k^{2}}\right)},c>k^{2},
19.25.11 E\left(\phi,k\right)=-\tfrac{1}{3}{k^{\prime}}^{2}R_{D}\left(c-k^{2},c,c-1%
\right)+\ifrac{\sqrt{c-k^{2}}}{\left(\sqrt{c}\sqrt{c-1}\right)},\phi\neq\tfrac{1}{2}\pi.

Equations (19.25.9)–(19.25.11) correspond to three (nonzero) choices for the last variable of R_{D}; see (19.21.7). All terms on the right-hand sides are nonnegative when k^{2}\leq 0, 0\leq k^{2}\leq 1, or 1\leq k^{2}\leq c, respectively.

If \alpha^{2}>c, then the Cauchy principal value is

The transformations in §19.7(ii) result from the symmetry and homogeneity of functions on the right-hand sides of (19.25.5), (19.25.7), and (19.25.14). For example, if we write (19.25.5) as

with

19.25.18 (x,y,z)=(c-1,c-k^{2},c),

then the five nontrivial permutations of x,y,z that leave R_{F} invariant change k^{2} (=(z-y)/(z-x)) into 1/k^{2}, {k^{\prime}}^{2}, 1/{k^{\prime}}^{2}, -k^{2}/{k^{\prime}}^{2}, -{k^{\prime}}^{2}/k^{2}, and \sin\phi (=\sqrt{(z-x)/z}) into k\sin\phi, -i\tan\phi, -ik^{\prime}\tan\phi, (k^{\prime}\sin\phi)/\sqrt{1-k^{2}{\sin}^{2}\phi}, -ik\sin\phi/\sqrt{1-k^{2}{\sin}^{2}\phi}. Thus the five permutations induce five transformations of Legendre’s integrals (and also of the Jacobian elliptic functions).

The three changes of parameter of \Pi\left(\phi,\alpha^{2},k\right) in §19.7(iii) are unified in (19.21.12) by way of (19.25.14).

§19.25(iii) Symmetric Integrals as Legendre’s Integrals

Assume 0\leq x\leq y\leq z, x<z, (x,y)\neq(0,0) and p>0. Let

with \alpha\neq 0. Then

§19.25(iv) Theta Functions

For relations of symmetric integrals to theta functions, see §20.9(i).

§19.25(v) Jacobian Elliptic Functions

For the notation see §§22.2, 22.15, and 22.16(i).

With 0\leq k^{2}\leq 1 and \mathrm{p,q,r} any permutation of the letters \mathrm{c,d,n}, define

19.25.28 \Delta(\mathrm{p,q})={\operatorname{ps}}^{2}\left(u,k\right)-{\operatorname{qs%
}}^{2}\left(u,k\right)=-\Delta(\mathrm{q,p}),

which implies

19.25.29
\Delta(\mathrm{n,d})=k^{2},
\Delta(\mathrm{d,c})={k^{\prime}}^{2},
\Delta(\mathrm{n,c})=1.

If {\operatorname{cs}}^{2}\left(u,k\right)\geq 0, then

compare (19.25.35) and (20.9.3).

19.25.32 \operatorname{arcps}\left(x,k\right)=R_{F}\left(x^{2},x^{2}+\Delta(\mathrm{q,p%
}),x^{2}+\Delta(\mathrm{r,p})\right),
19.25.33 \operatorname{arcsp}\left(x,k\right)=xR_{F}\left(1,1+\Delta(\mathrm{q,p})x^{2}%
,1+\Delta(\mathrm{r,p})x^{2}\right),
19.25.34 \operatorname{arcpq}\left(x,k\right)=\sqrt{w}R_{F}\left(x^{2},1,1+\Delta(%
\mathrm{r,q})w\right),w=\ifrac{(1-x^{2})}{\Delta(\mathrm{q,p})},

where we assume 0\leq x^{2}\leq 1 if x=\operatorname{sn}, \operatorname{cn}, or \operatorname{cd}; x^{2}\geq 1 if x=\operatorname{ns}, \operatorname{nc}, or \operatorname{dc}; x real if x=\operatorname{cs} or \operatorname{sc}; k^{\prime}\leq x\leq 1 if x=\operatorname{dn}; 1\leq x\leq 1/k^{\prime} if x=\operatorname{nd}; x^{2}\geq{k^{\prime}}^{2} if x=\operatorname{ds}; 0\leq x^{2}\leq 1/{k^{\prime}}^{2} if x=\operatorname{sd}.

For the use of R-functions with \Delta(\mathrm{p,q}) in unifying other properties of Jacobian elliptic functions, see Carlson (2004, 2006a, 2006b, 2008).

Inversions of 12 elliptic integrals of the first kind, producing the 12 Jacobian elliptic functions, are combined and simplified by using the properties of R_{F}\left(x,y,z\right). See (19.29.19), Carlson (2005), and (22.15.11), and compare with Abramowitz and Stegun (1964, (17.4.41)–(17.4.52)). For analogous integrals of the second kind, which are not invertible in terms of single-valued functions, see (19.29.20) and (19.29.21) and compare with Gradshteyn and Ryzhik (2015, §3.153,1–10 and §3.156,1–9).

§19.25(vi) Weierstrass Elliptic Functions

For the notation see §23.2 and §23.3. Let \mathbb{L} be a lattice for the Weierstrass elliptic function \wp\left(z\right). Then

19.25.35 z+2\omega=\pm R_{F}\left(\wp\left(z\right)-e_{1},\wp\left(z\right)-e_{2},\wp%
\left(z\right)-e_{3}\right),

for some 2\omega\in\mathbb{L}, provided that z satisfies

The sign on the right-hand side of (19.25.35) will change whenever one crosses a curve on which \wp\left(z\right)-e_{j}<0, for some j. Also,

19.25.37 \zeta\left(z+2\omega\right)+(z+2\omega)\wp\left(z\right)=\pm 2R_{G}\left(\wp%
\left(z\right)-e_{1},\wp\left(z\right)-e_{2},\wp\left(z\right)-e_{3}\right),

in which the sign and the \omega are the same as in (19.25.35).

In (19.25.38) and (19.25.39) j, k, \ell is any permutation of the numbers 1,2,3.

19.25.38 \omega_{j}=R_{F}\left(0,e_{j}-e_{k},e_{j}-e_{\ell}\right),
19.25.39 \zeta\left(\omega_{j}\right)+\omega_{j}e_{j}=2R_{G}\left(0,e_{j}-e_{k},e_{j}-e%
_{\ell}\right),

for some 2\omega_{j}\in\mathbb{L} and \wp\left(\omega_{j}\right)=e_{j}.

Lastly,

19.25.40 z+2\omega=\pm\sigma\left(z\right)R_{F}\left(\sigma_{1}^{2}(z),\sigma_{2}^{2}(z%
),\sigma_{3}^{2}(z)\right),

for some 2\omega\in\mathbb{L}, where

19.25.41 \sigma_{j}(z)=\exp\left(-\eta_{j}z\right)\ifrac{\sigma\left(z+\omega_{j}\right%
)}{\sigma\left(\omega_{j}\right)},j=1,2,3,

in which 2\omega_{1} and 2\omega_{3} are generators for the lattice \mathbb{L}, \omega_{2}=-\omega_{1}-\omega_{3}, and \eta_{j}=\zeta\left(\omega_{j}\right) (see (23.2.12)). The sign on the right-hand side of (19.25.40) will change whenever one crosses a curve on which \sigma_{j}^{2}(z)<0, for some j.

§19.25(vii) Hypergeometric Function

For these results and extensions to the Appell function {F_{1}}16.13) and Lauricella’s function F_{D} see Carlson (1963). ({F_{1}} and F_{D} are equivalent to the R-function of 3 and n variables, respectively, but lack full symmetry.)
