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

Famous quotes containing the words jacobi, functions, solutions, ordinary and/or differential:

    “... spinsterhood [is considered to be] an abnormality of small proportions and small consequence, something like an extra finger or two on the body, presumably of temporary duration, and never of any social significance.”
    —Mary Putnam Jacobi (1842–1906)

    “Empirical science is apt to cloud the sight, and, by the very knowledge of functions and processes, to bereave the student of the manly contemplation of the whole.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Those great ideas which come to you in your sleep just before you awake in morning, those solutions to the world’s problems which, in the light of day, turn out to be duds of the puniest order, couldn’t they be put to some use, after all?”
    —Robert Benchley (1889–1945)

    “The real accomplishment of modern science and technology consists in taking ordinary men, informing them narrowly and deeply and then, through appropriate organization, arranging to have their knowledge combined with that of other specialized but equally ordinary men. This dispenses with the need for genius. The resulting performance, though less inspiring, is far more predictable.”
    —John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)

    “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)
