In mathematics, the Neville theta functions, named after Eric Harold Neville,[1] are defined as follows:[2][3] [4]

where: K(m) is the complete elliptic integral of the first kind, , and is the elliptic nome.

Note that the functions θp(z,m) are sometimes defined in terms of the nome q(m) and written θp(z,q) (e.g. NIST[5]). The functions may also be written in terms of the τ parameter θp(z|τ) where .

Relationship to other functions

The Neville theta functions may be expressed in terms of the Jacobi theta functions[5]

where .

The Neville theta functions are related to the Jacobi elliptic functions. If pq(u,m) is a Jacobi elliptic function (p and q are one of s,c,n,d), then

Examples

Symmetry

Complex 3D plots

Implementation

NetvilleThetaC[z,m], NevilleThetaD[z,m], NevilleThetaN[z,m], and NevilleThetaS[z,m] are built-in functions of Mathematica.[6]
