K.fun {elliptic}

quarter period K

Description

Calculates the K.fun in terms of either m (K.fun()) or k (K.fun.k()).

Usage

K.fun(m, strict=TRUE, maxiter=7)

Arguments

m

Real or complex parameter

strict

Boolean, with default TRUE meaning to return an error if the sequence has not converged exactly, and FALSE meaning to return the partial sum, and a warning

maxiter

Maximum number of iterations

Examples

K.fun(0.09)  # AMS-55 give 1.60804862 in example 7 on page 581

# next example not run because: (i), it needs gsl; (ii) it gives a warning.
## Not run: 
K.fun(0.4,strict=F, maxiter=4) - ellint_Kcomp(sqrt(0.4))

## End(Not run)
