§22.16(i) Jacobi’s Amplitude (\operatorname{am}) Function

Definition

22.16.1 \operatorname{am}\left(x,k\right)=\operatorname{Arcsin}\left(\operatorname{sn}%
\left(x,k\right)\right),x\in\mathbb{R},

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. \operatorname{am}\left(x,k\right) is an infinitely differentiable function of x.

Integral Representation

Special Values

22.16.4 \operatorname{am}\left(x,0\right)=x,
22.16.5 \operatorname{am}\left(x,1\right)=\operatorname{gd}\left(x\right).

For the Gudermannian function \operatorname{gd}\left(x\right) see §4.23(viii).

Approximation for Small x

Relation to Elliptic Integrals

If -K\leq x\leq K, then the following four equations are equivalent:

22.16.11 \operatorname{am}\left(x,k\right)=\phi,

For F\left(\phi,k\right) see §19.2(ii).

§22.16(ii) Jacobi’s Epsilon Function

Integral Representations

For -K<x<K,

22.16.14 \mathcal{E}\left(x,k\right)=\int_{0}^{\operatorname{sn}\left(x,k\right)}\sqrt{%
\frac{1-k^{2}t^{2}}{1-t^{2}}}\,\mathrm{d}t;

compare (19.2.5). See Figure 22.16.2.

§22.16(iii) Jacobi’s Zeta Function

Definition

With E\left(k\right) and K\left(k\right) as in §19.2(ii) and x\in\mathbb{R},

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