3 Description

s21ccf evaluates an approximation to the Jacobian theta functions θ0x,q, θ1x,q, θ2x,q, θ3x,q and θ4x,q given by
θ0x,q = 1+2n=1-1nqn2cos2nπx, θ1x,q = 2n=0-1nq n+12 2sin2n+1πx, θ2x,q = 2n=0q n+12 2cos2n+1πx, θ3x,q = 1+2n=1qn2cos2nπx, θ4x,q = θ0x,q,  
where x and q (the nome) are real with 0q<1.
These functions are important in practice because every one of the Jacobian elliptic functions (see s21cbf) can be expressed as the ratio of two Jacobian theta functions (see Whittaker and Watson (1990)). There is also a bewildering variety of notations used in the literature to define them. Some authors (e.g., Section 16.27 of Abramowitz and Stegun (1972)) define the argument in the trigonometric terms to be x instead of πx. This can often lead to confusion, so great care must therefore be exercised when consulting the literature. Further details (including various relations and identities) can be found in the references.
s21ccf is based on a truncated series approach. If t differs from x or -x by an integer when 0t12 , it follows from the periodicity and symmetry properties of the functions that θ1x,q=±θ1t,q and θ3x,q=±θ3t,q. In a region for which the approximation is sufficiently accurate, θ1 is set equal to the first term (n=0) of the transformed series
θ1t,q=2λπe-λt2n=0-1ne-λ n+12 2sinh2n+1λt  
and θ3 is set equal to the first two terms (i.e., n1) of
θ3t,q=λπe-λt2 1+2n=1e-λn2cosh2nλt ,  
where λ= π2/ logeq . Otherwise, the trigonometric series for θ1t,q and θ3t,q are used. For all values of x, θ0 and θ2 are computed from the relations θ0x,q=θ312-x,q and θ2x,q=θ112-x,q.

5 Arguments

1: k Integer Input
On entry: denotes the function θkx,q to be evaluated. Note that k=4 is equivalent to k=0.
Constraint: 0k4.
2: x Real (Kind=nag_wp) Input
On entry: the argument x of the function.
3: q Real (Kind=nag_wp) Input
On entry: the argument q of the function.
Constraint: 0.0q<1.0.
4: ifail Integer Input/Output
On entry: ifail must be set to 0, -1 or 1 to set behaviour on detection of an error; these values have no effect when no error is detected.
A value of 0 causes the printing of an error message and program execution will be halted; otherwise program execution continues. A value of -1 means that an error message is printed while a value of 1 means that it is not.
If halting is not appropriate, the value -1 or 1 is recommended. If message printing is undesirable, then the value 1 is recommended. Otherwise, the value 0 is recommended. When the value -1 or 1 is used it is essential to test the value of ifail on exit.
On exit: ifail=0 unless the routine detects an error or a warning has been flagged (see Section 6).

6 Error Indicators and Warnings

If on entry ifail=0 or -1, explanatory error messages are output on the current error message unit (as defined by x04aaf).
Errors or warnings detected by the routine:
ifail=1
On entry, k=value.
Constraint: k4.
On entry, k=value.
Constraint: k0.
On entry, q=value.
Constraint: q<1.0.
On entry, q=value.
Constraint: q0.0.

7 Accuracy

In principle the routine is capable of achieving full relative precision in the computed values. However, the accuracy obtainable in practice depends on the accuracy of the standard elementary functions such as sin and cos.

8 Parallelism and Performance

s21ccf is not threaded in any implementation.
