LameC

LameC[ν,j,z,m]

gives the ^(th) Lamé function TemplateBox[{nu, j, z, m}, LameC] of order with elliptic parameter .

Details

  • LameC belongs to the Lamé class of functions and solves boundary-value problems for Laplace's equation in ellipsoidal and spheroconal coordinates, as well as occurring in other problems of mathematical physics and quantum mechanics.
  • Mathematical function, suitable for both symbolic and numerical manipulation.
  • LameC[ν,j,z,m] satisfies the Lamé differential equation , with the Lamé eigenvalue given by LameEigenvalueA[ν,j,m], and where TemplateBox[{z, m}, JacobiSN] is the Jacobi elliptic function JacobiSN[z,m].
  • For certain special arguments, LameC automatically evaluates to exact values.
  • LameC can be evaluated to arbitrary numerical precision for an arbitrary complex argument.
  • LameC automatically threads over lists.
  • LameC[ν,0,z,0]= and LameC[ν,j,z,0]=Cos[j(-z)].
  • LameC[ν,j,z,m] is proportional to HeunG[a,q,α,β,γ,δ,ξ], where , if the parameters of HeunG are specialized as follows: .
