JacobiAmplitude

JacobiAmplitude[u,m]

gives the amplitude for Jacobi elliptic functions.

Details

Mathematical function, suitable for both symbolic and numerical manipulation.
JacobiAmplitude[u,m] converts from the argument u for an elliptic function to the amplitude ϕ.
JacobiAmplitude is the inverse of the elliptic integral of the first kind. If , then .
JacobiAmplitude[u,m] has a branch cut discontinuity in the complex u plane running from to for every pair of integers and .
For certain special arguments, JacobiAmplitude automatically evaluates to exact values.
JacobiAmplitude can be evaluated to arbitrary numerical precision.
JacobiAmplitude automatically threads over lists.
