> a*ellipe(pi/3,m2) + b*ellipe(pi/6,m1)Įlliptic integrals have countless uses in geometry and physics, and even in pure mathematics. > b*ellipe(pi/2,m1) # Arc length of quarter-ellipse One can readily confirm that E(φ, m) satisfies obvious geometric symmetries: > a = 0.5
The preceding formulas are sometimes seen with a and b switched, which simply corresponds to transposing x and y as the reference axis (above, the integration is assumed to start on the x axis). Where m = 1-( a/ b)^2 is the so-called elliptic parameter. The arc length along the ellipse from θ = 0 to θ = φ is given by Given an ellipse of width 2 a and height 2 b, i.e. What are elliptic integrals and why are they important? As the name suggests, they are related to ellipses. This work was possible thanks to the support of NSF grant DMS-0757627, gratefully acknowledged. For the code, see r1162, r1166 and adjacent commits documentation is available in the elliptic functions section. The functions are called, respectively, ellipf, ellipe, ellippi, elliprf, elliprc, elliprj, elliprd, elliprg, although this could change before the release. Previously only the complete integrals K( m) and E( m) were available. Now mpmath can compute the three classical (Legendre) elliptic integrals F(φ, m), E(φ, m), Π( n, φ, m) as well Carlson’s symmetric integrals R F, R C, R J, R D, R G. I’m very happy to finally have implemented incomplete elliptic integrals in mpmath (they were probably the most-requested missing special functions). blog / Incomplete elliptic integrals complete
