scipy.special.ellipkinc(phi, m) = <ufunc 'ellipkinc'>

Incomplete elliptic integral of the first kind

This function is defined as

\[K(\phi, m) = \int_0^{\phi} [1 - m \sin(t)^2]^{-1/2} dt\]

This function is also called F(phi, m).

Parameters:

phi : array_like

amplitude of the elliptic integral

m : array_like

parameter of the elliptic integral

Returns:

K : ndarray

Value of the elliptic integral
