eta {elliptic}

Dedekind's eta function

Description

Dedekind's \eta function

Usage

eta(z, ...)
eta.series(z, maxiter=300)

Arguments

z

Complex argument

...

In function eta(), extra arguments sent to theta3()

maxiter

In function eta.series(), maximum value of iteration

Details

Function eta() uses Euler's formula, viz

\eta(z)=e^{\pi iz/12}\theta_3\left(\frac{1}{2}+\frac{z}{2},3z\right)

Function eta.series() is present for validation (and interest) only; it uses the infinite product formula:

\eta(z)= e^{\pi iz/12}\prod_{n=1}^\infty\left(1-e^{2\pi inz}\right)
