In mathematics, the quarter periods ''K''(''m'') and i''K'' ′(''m'') are special functions that appear in the theory of elliptic functions. The quarter periods ''K'' and i''K'' ′ are given by : and . The quarter periods are essentially the elliptic integral of the first kind, by making the substitution . In this case, one writes instead of , understanding the difference between the two depends notationally on whether or is used. This notational difference has spawned a terminology to go with it: * is called the parameter * is called the complementary parameter * is called the elliptic modulus * is called the complementary elliptic modulus, where * the modular angle, where * the complementary modular angle. Note that : The elliptic modulus can be expressed in terms of the quarter periods as : where ns and dn Jacobian elliptic functions. The nome is given by : The complementary nome is given by : The real quarter period can be expressed as a Lambert series involving the nome: : Additional expansions and relations can be found on the page for elliptic integrals. ==References== * Milton Abramowitz and Irene A.
