ellipe

$NPM version$ $Build Status$ $Coverage Status$

Compute the complete elliptic integral of the second kind.

The complete elliptic integral of the second kind is defined as

where the parameter m is related to the modulus k by m = k^2.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/math-base-special-ellipe

Usage

var ellipe = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-ellipe' );

ellipe( m )

Computes the complete elliptic integral of the second kind.

var v = ellipe( 0.5 );
// returns ~1.351

v = ellipe( -1.0 );
// returns ~1.910

v = ellipe( 2.0 );
// returns NaN

v = ellipe( Infinity );
// returns NaN

v = ellipe( -Infinity );
// returns NaN

v = ellipe( NaN );
// returns NaN

Notes

This function is valid for -∞ < m <= 1.

Examples

var randu = require( '@stdlib/random-base-randu' );
var ellipe = require( '@stdlib/math-base-special-ellipe' );

var m;
var i;

for ( i = 0; i < 100; i++ ) {
    m = -1.0 + ( randu() * 2.0 );
    console.log( 'ellipe(%d) = %d', m, ellipe( m ) );
}
