Landen's transformation is a mapping of the parameters of an elliptic integral, which shows how the value of the integral, changes when its parameters:amplitude and modular angle changes following some dependency. As a special case, we can see when the transformation does not change the value of the integral. :It was originally due to John Landen, although independently rediscovered by Carl Friedrich Gauss. For example,the incomplete elliptic integral of the first kind is : :(aa) Where : and are replaced by their arithmetic and geometric means respectively, that is : : :Accordingly formula (aa) : :(aaa) : As follows from the formula (aaa) : :The same equation can be proved using a simple mathematical analysis. The transformation, may be achieved purely by integration by substitution. It is convenient to first cast the integral in an algebraic form by a substitution of , giving : gives the desired result (in the algebraic form) : This latter step is facilitated by writing the radical as : and the infinitesimal as : is easily recognized and cancelled between the two factors. ==Arithmetic-geometric mean and Legendre's first integral== If the transformation is iterated a number of times, then the parameters and converge very rapidly to a common value, even if they are initially of different orders of magnitude. The limiting value is called the arithmetic-geometric mean of and , . In the limit, the integrand becomes a constant, so that integration is trivial : The integral may also be recognized as a multiple of Legendre's complete elliptic integral of the first kind. Putting : Hence, for any , the arithmetic-geometric mean and the complete elliptic integral of the first kind are related by : By performing an inverse transformation (reverse arithmetic-geometric mean iteration), that is : : : the relationship may be written as : which may be solved for the AGM of a pair of arbitrary arguments; : :''The definition adopted here for '''', differs from that used in the arithmetic-geometric mean article, such that '''' here is '''' in that article.'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Landen's transformation」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
