%k

Arguments

m

vector of real numbers in [-∞,1): parameter of the elliptic integral.

K

vector of respective values of the integral.

Description

Computes and provides values of the Jacobi's complete elliptic integral of the first kind, defined as

Examples

m = 0.4;
[%k(m) delip(1, sqrt(m))]
%k([-%inf -10 -1 0 0.1 0.3 0.9])
%k(0)==%pi/2

--> m = 0.4;
--> [%k(m) delip(1, sqrt(m))]
