Elliptic functions¶
Elliptic functions historically comprise the elliptic integrals and their inverses, and originate from the problem of computing the arc length of an ellipse. From a more modern point of view, an elliptic function is defined as a doubly periodic function, i.e. a function which satisfies
for some half-periods \(\omega_1, \omega_2\) with \(\mathrm{Im}[\omega_1 / \omega_2] > 0\). The canonical elliptic functions are the Jacobi elliptic functions. More broadly, this section includes quasi-doubly periodic functions (such as the Jacobi theta functions) and other functions useful in the study of elliptic functions.
Many different conventions for the arguments of elliptic functions are in use. It is even standard to use different parameterizations for different functions in the same text or software (and mpmath is no exception). The usual parameters are the elliptic nome \(q\), which usually must satisfy \(|q| < 1\); the elliptic parameter \(m\) (an arbitrary complex number); the elliptic modulus \(k\) (an arbitrary complex number); and the half-period ratio \(\tau\), which usually must satisfy \(\mathrm{Im}[\tau] > 0\). These quantities can be expressed in terms of each other using the following relations:
In addition, an alternative definition is used for the nome in number theory, which we here denote by q-bar:
For convenience, mpmath provides functions to convert between the various parameters (qfrom(), mfrom(), kfrom(), taufrom(), qbarfrom()).

Carlson symmetric elliptic integrals¶
elliprf()¶
- mpmath.elliprf(x, y, z)¶
Evaluates the Carlson symmetric elliptic integral of the first kind

For real \(x,y,z \ge 0\), the principal square root is taken in the integrand. For complex \(x,y,z\), the principal square root is taken as \(t \to \infty\) and as \(t \to 0\) non-principal branches are chosen as necessary so as to make the integrand continuous.

Evaluates the degenerate Carlson symmetric elliptic integral of the first kind
\[R_C(x,y) = R_F(x,y,y) = \frac{1}{2} \int_0^{\infty} \frac{dt}{(t+y) \sqrt{(t+x)}}.\]If \(y \in (-\infty,0)\), either a value defined by continuity, or with pv=True the Cauchy principal value, can be computed.
If \(x \ge 0, y > 0\), the value can be expressed in terms of elementary functions as

Jacobi theta functions¶
jtheta()¶
- mpmath.jtheta(n, z, q, derivative=0)¶
Computes the Jacobi theta function \(\vartheta_n(z, q)\), where \(n = 1, 2, 3, 4\), defined by the infinite series:
\[\vartheta_1(z,q) = 2 q^{1/4} \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} (-1)^n q^{n^2+n\,} \sin((2n+1)z)\]\[\vartheta_2(z,q) = 2 q^{1/4} \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} q^{n^{2\,} + n} \cos((2n+1)z)\]\[\vartheta_3(z,q) = 1 + 2 \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} q^{n^2\,} \cos(2 n z)\]\[\vartheta_4(z,q) = 1 + 2 \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} (-q)^{n^2\,} \cos(2 n z)\]The theta functions are functions of two variables:
- \(z\) is the argument, an arbitrary real or complex number
- \(q\) is the nome, which must be a real or complex number in the unit disk (i.e. \(|q| < 1\)). For \(|q| \ll 1\), the series converge very quickly, so the Jacobi theta functions can efficiently be evaluated to high precision.
The compact notations \(\vartheta_n(q) = \vartheta_n(0,q)\) and \(\vartheta_n = \vartheta_n(0,q)\) are also frequently encountered. Finally, Jacobi theta functions are frequently considered as functions of the half-period ratio \(\tau\) and then usually denoted by \(\vartheta_n(z|\tau)\).
Optionally, jtheta(n, z, q, derivative=d) with \(d > 0\) computes a \(d\)-th derivative with respect to \(z\).
Examples and basic properties
Considered as functions of \(z\), the Jacobi theta functions may be viewed as generalizations of the ordinary trigonometric functions cos and sin. They are periodic functions:
>>> from mpmath import * >>> mp.dps = 25; mp.pretty = True >>> jtheta(1, 0.25, '0.2') 0.2945120798627300045053104 >>> jtheta(1, 0.25 + 2*pi, '0.2') 0.2945120798627300045053104
Indeed, the series defining the theta functions are essentially trigonometric Fourier series. The coefficients can be retrieved using fourier():
>>> mp.dps = 10 >>> nprint(fourier(lambda x: jtheta(2, x, 0.5), [-pi, pi], 4)) ([0.0, 1.68179, 0.0, 0.420448, 0.0], [0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0])
The Jacobi theta functions are also so-called quasiperiodic functions of \(z\) and \(\tau\), meaning that for fixed \(\tau\), \(\vartheta_n(z, q)\) and \(\vartheta_n(z+\pi \tau, q)\) are the same except for an exponential factor:
>>> mp.dps = 25 >>> tau = 3*j/10 >>> q = exp(pi*j*tau) >>> z = 10 >>> jtheta(4, z+tau*pi, q) (-0.682420280786034687520568 + 1.526683999721399103332021j) >>> -exp(-2*j*z)/q * jtheta(4, z, q) (-0.682420280786034687520568 + 1.526683999721399103332021j)
The Jacobi theta functions satisfy a huge number of other functional equations, such as the following identity (valid for any \(q\)):
>>> q = mpf(3)/10 >>> jtheta(3,0,q)**4 6.823744089352763305137427 >>> jtheta(2,0,q)**4 + jtheta(4,0,q)**4 6.823744089352763305137427
Extensive listings of identities satisfied by the Jacobi theta functions can be found in standard reference works.
The Jacobi theta functions are related to the gamma function for special arguments:
>>> jtheta(3, 0, exp(-pi)) 1.086434811213308014575316 >>> pi**(1/4.) / gamma(3/4.) 1.086434811213308014575316
jtheta() supports arbitrary precision evaluation and complex arguments:
>>> mp.dps = 50 >>> jtheta(4, sqrt(2), 0.5) 2.0549510717571539127004115835148878097035750653737 >>> mp.dps = 25 >>> jtheta(4, 1+2j, (1+j)/5) (7.180331760146805926356634 - 1.634292858119162417301683j)

Possible issues
For \(|q| \ge 1\) or \(\Im(\tau) \le 0\), jtheta() raises ValueError. This exception is also raised for \(|q|\) extremely close to 1 (or equivalently \(\tau\) very close to 0), since the series would converge too slowly:
>>> jtheta(1, 10, 0.99999999 * exp(0.5*j)) Traceback (most recent call last): ... ValueError: abs(q) > THETA_Q_LIM = 1.000000
Jacobi elliptic functions¶
ellipfun()¶
- mpmath.ellipfun(kind, u=None, m=None, q=None, k=None, tau=None)¶
Computes any of the Jacobi elliptic functions, defined in terms of Jacobi theta functions as
\[\mathrm{sn}(u,m) = \frac{\vartheta_3(0,q)}{\vartheta_2(0,q)} \frac{\vartheta_1(t,q)}{\vartheta_4(t,q)}\]\[\mathrm{cn}(u,m) = \frac{\vartheta_4(0,q)}{\vartheta_2(0,q)} \frac{\vartheta_2(t,q)}{\vartheta_4(t,q)}\]\[\mathrm{dn}(u,m) = \frac{\vartheta_4(0,q)}{\vartheta_3(0,q)} \frac{\vartheta_3(t,q)}{\vartheta_4(t,q)},\]or more generally computes a ratio of two such functions. Here \(t = u/\vartheta_3(0,q)^2\), and \(q = q(m)\) denotes the nome (see nome()). Optionally, you can specify the nome directly instead of \(m\) by passing q=<value>, or you can directly specify the elliptic parameter \(k\) with k=<value>.
The first argument should be a two-character string specifying the function using any combination of 's', 'c', 'd', 'n'. These letters respectively denote the basic functions \(\mathrm{sn}(u,m)\), \(\mathrm{cn}(u,m)\), \(\mathrm{dn}(u,m)\), and \(1\). The identifier specifies the ratio of two such functions. For example, 'ns' identifies the function
\[\mathrm{ns}(u,m) = \frac{1}{\mathrm{sn}(u,m)}\]and 'cd' identifies the function
\[\mathrm{cd}(u,m) = \frac{\mathrm{cn}(u,m)}{\mathrm{dn}(u,m)}.\]If called with only the first argument, a function object evaluating the chosen function for given arguments is returned.

>>> sn = ellipfun('sn') >>> sn(2, 0.25) 0.9628981775982774425751399 >>> sn(2+4*ellipk(0.25), 0.25) 0.9628981775982774425751399 >>> chop(sn(2+2*j*ellipk(1-0.25), 0.25)) 0.9628981775982774425751399

Modular functions¶
kleinj()¶
- mpmath.kleinj(tau=None, **kwargs)¶
Evaluates the Klein j-invariant, which is a modular function defined for \(\tau\) in the upper half-plane as
\[J(\tau) = \frac{g_2^3(\tau)}{g_2^3(\tau) - 27 g_3^2(\tau)}\]where \(g_2\) and \(g_3\) are the modular invariants of the Weierstrass elliptic function,
\[g_2(\tau) = 60 \sum_{(m,n) \in \mathbb{Z}^2 \setminus (0,0)} (m \tau+n)^{-4}\]\[g_3(\tau) = 140 \sum_{(m,n) \in \mathbb{Z}^2 \setminus (0,0)} (m \tau+n)^{-6}.\]An alternative, common notation is that of the j-function \(j(\tau) = 1728 J(\tau)\).

Examples
Verifying the functional equation \(J(\tau) = J(\tau+1) = J(-\tau^{-1})\):
>>> from mpmath import * >>> mp.dps = 25; mp.pretty = True >>> tau = 0.625+0.75*j >>> tau = 0.625+0.75*j >>> kleinj(tau) (-0.1507492166511182267125242 + 0.07595948379084571927228948j) >>> kleinj(tau+1) (-0.1507492166511182267125242 + 0.07595948379084571927228948j) >>> kleinj(-1/tau) (-0.1507492166511182267125242 + 0.07595948379084571927228946j)
The j-function has a famous Laurent series expansion in terms of the nome \(\bar{q}\), \(j(\tau) = \bar{q}^{-1} + 744 + 196884\bar{q} + \ldots\):
>>> mp.dps = 15 >>> taylor(lambda q: 1728*q*kleinj(qbar=q), 0, 5, singular=True) [1.0, 744.0, 196884.0, 21493760.0, 864299970.0, 20245856256.0]
The j-function admits exact evaluation at special algebraic points related to the Heegner numbers 1, 2, 3, 7, 11, 19, 43, 67, 163:
>>> @extraprec(10) ... def h(n): ... v = (1+sqrt(n)*j) ... if n > 2: ... v *= 0.5 ... return v ... >>> mp.dps = 25 >>> for n in [1,2,3,7,11,19,43,67,163]: ... n, chop(1728*kleinj(h(n))) ...

Also at other special points, the j-function assumes explicit algebraic values, e.g.:
>>> chop(1728*kleinj(j*sqrt(5))) 1264538.909475140509320227 >>> identify(cbrt(_)) # note: not simplified '((100+sqrt(13520))/2)' >>> (50+26*sqrt(5))**3 1264538.909475140509320227
