Jacobi Elliptic Functions As Solutions of Nonlinear Ordinary Differential Equations

The derivatives of the three basic Jacobi elliptic functions are:

\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}z}\, \mathrm{sn}\,(z) = \mathrm{cn}\,(z)\, \mathrm{dn}\,(z),



\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}z}\, \mathrm{dn}\,(z) = - k^2 \mathrm{sn}\,(z)\, \mathrm{cn}\,(z).

With the addition theorems above and for a given k with 0 < k < 1 they therefore are solutions to the following nonlinear ordinary differential equations:

  • solves the differential equations
and
  • solves the differential equations
and
  • solves the differential equations
and

    “... [the] special relation of women to children, in which the heart of the world has always felt there was something sacred, serves to impress upon women certain tendencies, to endow them with certain virtues ... which will render them of special value in public affairs.”
    —Mary Putnam Jacobi (1842–1906)

    “One of the most highly valued functions of used parents these days is to be the villains of their children’s lives, the people the child blames for any shortcomings or disappointments. But if your identity comes from your parents’ failings, then you remain forever a member of the child generation, stuck and unable to move on to an adulthood in which you identify yourself in terms of what you do, not what has been done to you.”
    —Frank Pittman (20th century)

    “Science fiction writers foresee the inevitable, and although problems and catastrophes may be inevitable, solutions are not.”
    —Isaac Asimov (1920–1992)

    “My residence was more favorable, not only to thought, but to serious reading, than a university; and though I was beyond the range of the ordinary circulating library, I had more than ever come within the influence of those books which circulate round the world, whose sentences were first written on bark, and are now merely copied from time to time on to linen paper.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “But how is one to make a scientist understand that there is something unalterably deranged about differential calculus, quantum theory, or the obscene and so inanely liturgical ordeals of the precession of the equinoxes.”
    —Antonin Artaud (1896–1948)
