LameS

LameS[ν,j,z,m]

gives the ^(th) Lamé function of order with elliptic parameter .

Details

  • LameS belongs to the Lamé class of functions and solves boundary-value problems for Laplace's equation in ellipsoidal and spheroconal coordinates and also occurs in other problems of mathematical physics and quantum mechanics.
  • Mathematical function, suitable for both symbolic and numerical manipulation.
  • LameS[ν,j,z,m] satisfies the Lamé differential equation , with the Lamé eigenvalue given by LameEigenvalueB[ν,j,m], and where is the Jacobi elliptic function JacobiSN[z,m].
  • For certain special arguments, LameS automatically evaluates to exact values.
  • LameS can be evaluated to arbitrary numerical precision for arbitrary complex argument.
  • LameS automatically threads over lists.
  • LameS[ν,j,z,0]=Sin[j(-z)].
  • LameS[ν,j,z,m] is proportional to HeunG[a,q,α,β,γ,δ,ξ], where , if the parameters of HeunG are specialized as follows: .
