Elliptic Special Functions for Julia

This julia package implements elliptic integrals and (in the Jacobi sub-module) the Jacobi elliptic functions.

Elliptic Integrals

Function	Definition
F(phi, m)	Incomplete elliptic integral of the first kind, F(φ | m)
K(m)	Complete elliptic integral of the first kind, the quarter period, F(π/2 | m)
E(phi, m)	Incomplete elliptic integral of the second kind, E(φ | m)
E(m)	Complete elliptic integral of the second kind, E(π/2 | m)
Pi(n, phi, m) Π(n, phi, m)	Incomplete elliptic integral of the third kind, Π(n; φ | m)

Where the parameter m = k^2 = sin(α)^2, α is the modular angle, k is the modulus, and

Jacobi Elliptic Functions

Function	Definition
am(u, m)	Solution to u = F(am(u | m) | m)
sn(u, m)	sn(u | m) = sin(am(u | m))
cn(u, m)	cn(u | m) = cos(am(u | m))
dn(u, m)	dn(u | m) = sqrt(1 - m sn(u | m)^2)
sd(u, m)	sd(u | m) = sn(u | m) / dn(u | m)
cd(u, m)	cd(u | m) = cn(u | m) / dn(u | m)
nd(u, m)	nd(u | m) = 1 / dn(u | m)
dc(u, m)	dc(u | m) = 1 / cd(u | n)
nc(u, m)	nc(u | m) = 1 / cn(u | m)
sc(u, m)	sc(u | m) = sn(u | m) / cn(u | m)
ns(u, m)	ns(u | m) = 1 / sn(u | m)
ds(u, m)	ds(u | m) = 1 / sd(u | m)
cs(u, m)	cs(u | m) = 1 / sc(u | m)

Matlab Compatibility

Function	Definition
ellipj(u, m)	returns (sn(u,m), cn(u,m), dn(u,m))
ellipke(m)	returns (K(m), E(m))

For convenience, the matlab compatible ellipj and ellipke routines are also provided. ellipj(u,m) is equivalent to sn(u,m), cn(u,m), dn(u,m), but faster if you want all three. Likewise, ellipke(m) is equivalent to K(m), E(m), but faster if you want both.
