scipy.special.ellipkinc¶
- 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
- phiarray_like
amplitude of the elliptic integral
- marray_like
parameter of the elliptic integral
- Returns
- Kndarray
Value of the elliptic integral

Notes
Wrapper for the Cephes [1] routine ellik. The computation is carried out using the arithmetic-geometric mean algorithm.
The parameterization in terms of \(m\) follows that of section 17.2 in [2]. Other parameterizations in terms of the complementary parameter \(1 - m\), modular angle \(\sin^2(\alpha) = m\), or modulus \(k^2 = m\) are also used, so be careful that you choose the correct parameter.
