§19.23 Integral Representations

ⓘ

Keywords:: integral representations, symmetric elliptic integrals
Notes:: For (19.23.8) and (19.23.9) see Carlson (1977b, Exercises 5.9-19, 5.9-20, and p. 306). By §19.16(iii), (19.23.8) implies (19.23.1)–(19.23.3), and (19.23.9) implies (19.23.6). Use (19.23.8) to integrate over $\theta$ in (19.23.6) and then permute variables to prove (19.23.5). To prove (19.23.4) put $z=0$ in (19.23.5), relabel variables, and substitute $\cos\theta=\operatorname{sech}t$ . For (19.23.10) see Carlson (1977b, (6.8-2)).

Rearrangement (effective with 1.1.0):: The integral representation (19.23.6_5), which was previously (19.16.3), is a better fit here. Likewise, (19.23.7) has been moved to (19.16.2_5).
