jacobiSN

Jacobi SN elliptic function

Syntax

jacobiSN(u,m)

Description

jacobiSN(u,m) returns the Jacobi SN Elliptic Function of u and m. If u or m is an array, then jacobiSN acts element-wise.

Examples

Calculate Jacobi SN Elliptic Function for Numeric Inputs

jacobiSN(2,1)

ans =
    0.9640

Call jacobiSN on array inputs. jacobiSN acts element-wise when u or m is an array.

jacobiSN([2 1 -3],[1 2 3])

ans =
    0.9640    0.6721    0.5773

Calculate Jacobi SN Elliptic Function for Symbolic Numbers

Convert numeric input to symbolic form using sym, and find the Jacobi SN elliptic function. For symbolic input where u = 0 or m = 0 or 1, jacobiSN returns exact symbolic output.

jacobiSN(sym(2),sym(1))

ans =
tanh(2)

Show that for other values of u or m, jacobiSN returns an unevaluated function call.

jacobiSN(sym(2),sym(3))

ans =
jacobiSN(2, 3)

Find Jacobi SN Elliptic Function for Symbolic Variables or Expressions

For symbolic variables or expressions, jacobiSN returns the unevaluated function call.

syms x y
f = jacobiSN(x,y)

f =
jacobiSN(x, y)

Substitute values for the variables by using subs, and convert values to double by using double.

f = subs(f, [x y], [3 5])

f =
jacobiSN(3, 5)

fVal = double(f)

fVal =
    0.0311

Calculate f to higher precision using vpa.

fVal = vpa(f)

fVal =
0.031144778155397389598324170696454

Plot Jacobi SN Elliptic Function

Plot the Jacobi SN elliptic function using fcontour. Set u on the x-axis and m on the y-axis by using the symbolic function f with the variable order (u,m). Fill plot contours by setting Fill to on.

syms f(u,m)
f(u,m) = jacobiSN(u,m);
fcontour(f,'Fill','on')

More About

Jacobi SN Elliptic Function

The Jacobi SN elliptic function is sn(u,m) = sin(am(u,m)) where am is the Jacobi amplitude function.

The Jacobi elliptic functions are meromorphic and doubly periodic in their first argument with periods 4K(m) and 4iK'(m), where K is the complete elliptic integral of the first kind, implemented as ellipticK.
