EllipticK

EllipticK[m]
gives the complete elliptic integral of the first kind K(m).
  • Mathematical function, suitable for both symbolic and numerical manipulation.
  • EllipticK is given in terms of the incomplete elliptic integral of the first kind by .
  • EllipticK[m] has a branch cut discontinuity in the complex m plane running from 1 to infty.
  • For certain special arguments, EllipticK automatically evaluates to exact values.
  • EllipticK can be evaluated to arbitrary numerical precision.
