Jacobian elliptic functions

Calculates the Jacobian elliptic functions of parameter m between 0 and 1, and real argument u.

Parameters:

Parameters:	m : array_like Parameter. u : array_like Argument.
Returns:	sn, cn, dn, ph : ndarrays The returned functions: sn(u\|m), cn(u\|m), dn(u\|m) The value ph is such that if u = ellipk(ph, m), then sn(u\|m) = sin(ph) and cn(u\|m) = cos(ph).

m : array_like

Parameter.

u : array_like

Argument.

Returns:

sn, cn, dn, ph : ndarrays

The returned functions:
sn(u|m), cn(u|m), dn(u|m)
The value ph is such that if u = ellipk(ph, m), then sn(u|m) = sin(ph) and cn(u|m) = cos(ph).

Notes

Wrapper for the Cephes [R418] routine ellpj.

These functions are periodic, with quarter-period on the real axis equal to the complete elliptic integral ellipk(m).

Relation to incomplete elliptic integral: If u = ellipk(phi,m), then sn(u|m) = sin(phi), and cn(u|m) = cos(phi). The phi is called the amplitude of u.

Computation is by means of the arithmetic-geometric mean algorithm, except when m is within 1e-9 of 0 or 1. In the latter case with m close to 1, the approximation applies only for phi < pi/2.
