Elliptic Integral Singular Value

DOWNLOAD Mathematica NotebookDownload Wolfram Notebook

When the elliptic modulus k has a singular value, the complete elliptic integrals may be computed in analytic form in terms of gamma functions. Abel (quoted in Whittaker and Watson 1990, p. 525) proved that whenever

(K^'(k))/(K(k))=(a+bsqrt(n))/(c+dsqrt(n)),
(1)

where a, b, c, d, and n are integers, K(k) is a complete elliptic integral of the first kind, and K^'(k)=K(sqrt(1-k^2)) is the complementary complete elliptic integral of the first kind, then the elliptic modulus k is the root of an algebraic equation with integer coefficients.

A elliptic modulus k_r such that

(K^'(k_r))/(K(k_r))=sqrt(r),
(2)

is called a singular value of the elliptic integral. The elliptic lambda function lambda^*(r) gives the value of k_r.

Selberg and Chowla (1967) showed that K(lambda^*(r)) and E(lambda^*(r)) are expressible in terms of a finite number of gamma functions. The complete elliptic integrals of the second kind E(k_r) and E^'(k_r) can be expressed in terms of K(k_r) and K^'(k_r) with the aid of the elliptic alpha function alpha(r).

Values of K(k_r) for small integer r in terms of gamma functions Gamma(z) are summarized below.

K(k_1)=(Gamma^2(1/4))/(4sqrt(pi))
(3)
K(k_2)=(sqrt(sqrt(2)+1)Gamma(1/8)Gamma(3/8))/(2^(13/4)sqrt(pi))
(4)
K(k_3)=(3^(1/4)Gamma^3(1/3))/(2^(7/3)pi)
(5)
K(k_4)=((sqrt(2)+1)Gamma^2(1/4))/(2^(7/2)sqrt(pi))
(6)
K(k_5)=(sqrt(5)+2)^(1/4)sqrt((Gamma(1/(20))Gamma(3/(20))Gamma(7/(20))Gamma(9/(20)))/(160pi))
(7)
K(k_6)=sqrt((sqrt(2)-1)(sqrt(3)+sqrt(2))(2+sqrt(3)))sqrt((Gamma(1/(24))Gamma(5/(24))Gamma(7/(24))Gamma((11)/(24)))/(384pi))
(8)
K(k_7)=(Gamma(1/7)Gamma(2/7)Gamma(4/7))/(7^(1/4)·4pi)
(9)
K(k_8)=sqrt((2sqrt(2)+sqrt(1+5sqrt(2)))/(4sqrt(2)))((sqrt(2)+1)^(1/4)Gamma(1/8)Gamma(3/8))/(8sqrt(pi))
(10)
K(k_9)=(3^(1/4)sqrt(2+sqrt(3))Gamma^2(1/4))/(12sqrt(pi))
(11)
K(k_(10))=sqrt((2+3sqrt(2)+sqrt(5)))sqrt((Gamma(1/(40))Gamma(7/(40))Gamma(9/(40))Gamma((11)/(40))Gamma((13)/(40))Gamma((19)/(40))Gamma((23)/(40))Gamma((37)/(40)))/(2560pi^3))
(12)
K(k_(11))=[2+(17+3sqrt(33))^(1/3)-(3sqrt(33)-17)^(1/3)]^2(Gamma(1/(11))Gamma(3/(11))Gamma(4/(11))Gamma(5/(11))Gamma(9/(11)))/(11^(1/4)144pi^2)
(13)
K(k_(12))=(3^(1/4)(sqrt(2)+1)(sqrt(3)+sqrt(2))sqrt(2-sqrt(3))Gamma^3(1/3))/(2^(13/3)pi)
(14)
K(k_(13))=((18+5sqrt(13))^(1/4))/(sqrt(6656pi^5))sqrt(Gamma(1/(52))Gamma(7/(52))Gamma(9/(52))Gamma((11)/(52))Gamma((15)/(52))Gamma((17)/(52))Gamma((19)/(52))Gamma((25)/(52))Gamma((29)/(52))Gamma((31)/(52))Gamma((47)/(52))Gamma((49)/(52)))
(15)
K(k_(14))=-11-8sqrt(2)-4sqrt(5+4sqrt(2))-2sqrt(2(5+4sqrt(2)))+2sqrt(11+8sqrt(2))+2sqrt(2(11+8sqrt(2)))+sqrt(2(5+4sqrt(2))(11+8sqrt(2)))
(16)
K(k_(15))=sqrt(((sqrt(5)+1)Gamma(1/(15))Gamma(2/(15))Gamma(4/(15))Gamma(8/(15)))/(240pi))
(17)
K(k_(16))=((2^(1/4)+1)^2Gamma^2(1/4))/(2^(9/2)sqrt(pi))
(18)
K(k_(17))=C_1[(Gamma(1/(68))Gamma(3/(68))Gamma(7/(68))Gamma((11)/(68))Gamma((13)/(68)))/(Gamma(5/(68))Gamma((15)/(68))Gamma((19)/(68))Gamma((29)/(68)))]^(1/4)[Gamma((21)/(68))Gamma((25)/(68))Gamma((27)/(68))Gamma((31)/(68))Gamma((33)/(68))]^(1/4)
(19)
K(k_(25))=(sqrt(5)+2)/(20)(Gamma^2(1/4))/(sqrt(pi)),
(20)

where Gamma(z) is the gamma function and C_1 is an algebraic number (Borwein and Borwein 1987, p. 298).

Borwein and Zucker (1992) give amazing expressions for singular values of complete elliptic integrals in terms of central beta functions

beta(p)=B(p,p).
(21)

Furthermore, they show that K(k_n) is always expressible in terms of these functions for n=1,2 (mod 4). In such cases, the Gamma(z) functions appearing in the expression are of the form Gamma(t/4n) where 1<=t<=(2n-1) and (t,4n)=1. The terms in the numerator depend on the sign of the Kronecker symbol {t/4n}. Values for the first few n are

K(k_1)=2^(-2)beta(1/4)
(22)
K(k_2)=2^(-13/4)beta(1/8)
(23)
K(k_3)=2^(-4/3)3^(-1/4)beta(1/3)
(24)
=2^(-5/3)3^(-3/4)beta(1/6)
(25)
K(k_5)=2^(-33/20)5^(-5/8)(11+5sqrt(5))^(1/4)sin(1/(20)pi)beta(1/2)
(26)

(28)
=2^(-43/12)3^(-1/4)(sqrt(3)-1)beta(5/(24))
(29)
K(k_7)=2·7^(-3/4)sin(1/7pi)sin(2/7pi)B(1/7,2/7)
(30)
=2^(-2/7)7^(-1/4)(beta(1/7)beta(2/7))/(beta(1/(14)))
(31)
K(k_(10))=2^(-61/20)5^(-1/4)(sqrt(5)-2)^(1/2)(sqrt(10)+3)(beta(1/8)beta(7/(40)))/(beta(1/340))
(32)
=2^(-15/4)5^(-3/4)(sqrt(5)-2)^(1/2)(beta(1/(40))beta(1/940))/(beta(3/8))
(33)
K(k_(11))=R·2^(-7/11)sin(1/(11)pi)sin(3/(11)pi)B(1/(22),3/(22))
(34)
K(k_(13))=2^(-3)13^(-5/8)(5sqrt(13)+18)^(1/4)[tan(1/(52)pi)tan(3/(52)pi)tan(9/(52)pi)]^(1/2)(beta(1/(52))beta(9/(52)))/(beta((23)/(52)))
(35)
K(k_(14))=sqrt(sqrt(4sqrt(2)+2)+sqrt(2)+sqrt(2sqrt(2)-1))·2^(-13/4)7^(-3/8)×[(tan(5/(56)pi)tan((13)/(56)pi))/(tan((11)/(56)pi))]^(1/4)sqrt((beta(5/(56))beta((13)/(56))beta(1/8))/(beta((11)/(56))))
(36)
K(k_(15))=2^(-1)3^(-3/4)5^(-7/12)B(1/(15),4/(15))
(37)
=(2^(-2)3^(-3/4)5^(-3/4)(sqrt(5)-1)beta(1/(15))beta(4/(15)))/(beta(1/3))
(38)
K(k_(17))=C_2[(beta(1/(68))beta(3/(68))beta(7/(68))beta(9/(68))beta((11)/(68))beta((13)/(68)))/(beta(5/(68))beta((15)/(68)))]^(1/4),
(39)

where R is the real root of

x^3-4x=4=0
(40)

and C_2 is an algebraic number (Borwein and Zucker 1992). Note that K(k_(11)) is the only value in the above list which cannot be expressed in terms of central beta functions.

Using the elliptic alpha function, the elliptic integrals of the second kind can also be found from

E=pi/(4sqrt(r)K)+[1-(alpha(r))/(sqrt(r))]K
(41)
E^'=pi/(4K)+alpha(r)K,
(42)

and by definition,

K^'=Ksqrt(r).
