ellipke - Complete elliptic integrals of first and second kind

Syntax

K = ellipke(M)
[K,E] = ellipke(M)
[K,E] = ellipke(M,tol)

Description

K = ellipke(M) returns the complete elliptic integral of the first kind for the each element in M.

[K,E] = ellipke(M) returns the complete elliptic integral of the first and second kinds.

[K,E] = ellipke(M,tol) computes the complete elliptic integral to accuracy tol. The default is eps(class(M)); increase the tolerance for a less accurate but more quickly computed answer.

Limitations

ellipke is limited to the input domain 0 ≤ m ≤ 1.

Definitions

The complete elliptic integral of the first kind is

where m is the first argument of ellipke.

The complete elliptic integral of the second kind is

Some definitions of K and E use the elliptical modulus k instead of the parameter m. They are related as
