Equations (19.25.9)–(19.25.11) correspond to three
(nonzero) choices for the last variable of

(19.21.7). All terms on the right-hand sides are nonnegative when

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

induce five transformations of Legendre’s integrals (and also of the Jacobian
elliptic functions).

For the use of

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
. 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).
