Description

ellipticCPi(n,m) returns the complementary complete elliptic integral of the third kind.

Examples

Compute Complementary Complete Elliptic Integrals of Third Kind

Compute the complementary complete elliptic integrals of the third kind for these numbers. Because these numbers are not symbolic objects, you get floating-point results.

s = [ellipticCPi(-1, 1/3), ellipticCPi(0, 1/2),...
  ellipticCPi(9/10, 1), ellipticCPi(-1, 0)]
s =
    1.3703    1.8541    4.9673       Inf

Compute the complementary complete elliptic integrals of the third kind for the same numbers converted to symbolic objects. For most symbolic (exact) numbers, ellipticCPi returns unresolved symbolic calls.

s = [ellipticCPi(-1, sym(1/3)), ellipticCPi(sym(0), 1/2),...
  ellipticCPi(sym(9/10), 1), ellipticCPi(-1, sym(0))]
s =
[ ellipticCPi(-1, 1/3), ellipticCK(1/2), (pi*10^(1/2))/2, Inf]

Here, ellipticCK represents the complementary complete elliptic integrals of the first kind.

Use vpa to approximate this result with floating-point numbers:

vpa(s, 10)
ans =
[ 1.370337322, 1.854074677, 4.967294133, Inf]

Differentiate Complementary Complete Elliptic Integrals of Third Kind

Differentiate these expressions involving the complementary complete elliptic integral of the third kind:

syms n m
diff(ellipticCPi(n, m), n)
diff(ellipticCPi(n, m), m)
ans =
ellipticCK(m)/(2*n*(n - 1)) -...
ellipticCE(m)/(2*(n - 1)*(m + n - 1)) -...
(ellipticCPi(n, m)*(n^2 + m - 1))/(2*n*(n - 1)*(m + n - 1))
 
ans =
ellipticCE(m)/(2*m*(m + n - 1)) - ellipticCPi(n, m)/(2*(m + n - 1))

Here, ellipticCK and ellipticCE represent the complementary complete elliptic integrals of the first and second kinds.

Complementary Complete Elliptic Integral of the Third Kind

The complementary complete elliptic integral of the third kind is defined as Π'(m) = Π(n, 1–m), where Π(n,m) is the complete elliptic integral of the third kind:

Π(n,m)=Π(n;π2|m)=∫0π/21(1−nsin2θ)1−msin2θdθ

Note that some definitions use the elliptical modulus k or the modular angle α instead of the parameter m. They are related as m = k2 = sin2α.

Tips

  • ellipticCPi returns floating-point results for numeric arguments that are not symbolic objects.

  • For most symbolic (exact) numbers, ellipticCPi returns unresolved symbolic calls. You can approximate such results with floating-point numbers using vpa.

  • At least one input argument must be a scalar or both arguments must be vectors or matrices of the same size. If one input argument is a scalar and the other one is a vector or a matrix, then ellipticCPi expands the scalar into a vector or matrix of the same size as the other argument with all elements equal to that scalar.
