1 Purpose

s21cbc evaluates the Jacobian elliptic functions snz, cnz and dnz for a complex argument z.

2 Specification

#include <nag.h>
void  s21cbc (Complex z, double ak2, Complex *sn, Complex *cn, Complex *dn, NagError *fail)
The function may be called by the names: s21cbc, nag_specfun_jacellip_complex or nag_jacobian_elliptic.

3 Description

s21cbc evaluates the Jacobian elliptic functions sn(zk), cn(zk) and dn(zk) given by
sn(zk) = sinϕ cn(zk) = cosϕ dn(zk) = 1-k2sin2ϕ,  
where z is a complex argument, k is a real argument (the modulus) with k21 and ϕ (the amplitude of z) is defined by the integral
z=0ϕdθ 1-k2sin2θ .  
The above definitions can be extended for values of k2>1 (see Salzer (1962)) by means of the formulae
sn(zk) = k1sn(kzk1) cn(zk) = dn(kzk1) dn(zk) = cn(kzk1),  
where k1=1/k.
Special values include
sn(z0) = sinz cn(z0) = cosz dn(z0) = 1 sn(z1) = tanhz cn(z1) = sechz dn(z1) = sechz.  
These functions are often simply written as snz, cnz and dnz, thereby avoiding explicit reference to the argument k. They can also be expressed in terms of Jacobian theta functions (see s21ccc).
Another nine elliptic functions may be computed via the formulae
cdz = cnz/dnz sdz = snz/dnz ndz = 1/dnz dcz = dnz/cnz ncz = 1/cnz scz = snz/cnz nsz = 1/snz dsz = dnz/snz csz = cnz/snz  
(see Abramowitz and Stegun (1972)).
The values of snz, cnz and dnz are obtained by calls to s21cac. Further details can be found in Section 9.

7 Accuracy

In principle the function is capable of achieving full relative precision in the computed values. However, the accuracy obtainable in practice depends on the accuracy of the standard elementary functions such as SIN and COS.

8 Parallelism and Performance

Background information to multithreading can be found in the Multithreading documentation.
s21cbc is not threaded in any implementation.

9 Further Comments

The values of snz, cnz and dnz are computed via the formulae
snz = sn(u,k)dn(v,k) 1-dn2(u,k)sn2(v,k) + i cn(u,k)dn(u,k)sn(v,k)cn(v,k) 1-dn2(u,k)sn2(v,k) cnz = cn(u,k)cn(v,k) 1-dn2(u,k)sn2(v,k) - i sn(u,k)dn(u,k)sn(v,k)dn(v,k) 1-dn2(u,k)sn2(v,k) dnz = dn(u,k)cn(v,k)dn(v,k) 1-dn2(u,k)sn2(v,k) - i k2sn(u,k)cn(u,k)sn(v,k) 1-dn2(u,k)sn2(v,k) ,  
where z=u+iv and k=1-k2 (the complementary modulus).

10 Example

This example evaluates snz, cnz and dnz at z=-2.0+3.0i when k=0.5, and prints the results.
