Arc length of Bernoulli's lemniscate

The lemniscate of Bernoulli with half-width is the locus of points in the plane such that the product of their distances from the two focal points F_1 = \bigl(,0\bigr) and F_2 = \bigl(\tfrac1\sqrt2,0\bigr) is the constant \tfrac12. This is a

Analogously, the circular sine and cosine functions relate the chord length to the arc length for the unit diameter circle with polar equation r = \cos \theta or Cartesian equation x^2 + y^2 = x, using the same argument above but with the parametrization: :\big(x(r), y(r)\big) = \biggl(r^2,\, \sqrt\,\biggr).

Arc length of rectangular elastica

The inverse lemniscate sine also describes the arc length relative to the coordinate of the rectangular elastica. This curve has coordinate and arc length: :y = \int_x^1 \frac,\quad s = \operatorname x = \int_0^x \frac The rectangular elastica solves a problem posed by Jacob Bernoulli, in 1691, to describe the shape of an idealized flexible rod fixed in a vertical orientation at the bottom end and pulled down by a weight from the far end until it has been bent horizontal.

Elliptic characterization

Let C be a point on the ellipse x^2+2y^2=1 in the first quadrant and let D be the projection of C on the unit circle x^2+y^2=1. The distance r between the origin A and the point C is a function of \varphi (the angle BAC where B=(1,0); equivalently the length of the circular arc BD). The parameter u is given by :u=\int_0^r(\theta)\, \mathrm d\theta=\int_0^\frac. If E is the projection of D on the x-axis and if F is the projection of C on the x-axis, then the lemniscate elliptic functions are given by :\operatornameu=\overline, \quad \operatornameu=\overline.


Relation to the lemniscate constant

The lemniscate functions have minimal real period and fundamental complex periods (1+i)\varpi and (1-i)\varpi for a constant called the '' lemniscate constant'', :\varpi = 2\int_0^1\frac = 2.62205\ldots The lemniscate functions satisfy the basic relation \operatornamez = \bigl(\tfrac12\varpi - z\bigr), analogous to the relation \cos z = \bigl(\tfrac12\pi - z\bigr). The lemniscate constant is a close analog of the circle constant , and many identities involving have analogues involving , as identities involving the

have analogues involving the lemniscate functions. For example, Viète's formula for can be written: \frac2\pi = \sqrt\frac12 \cdot \sqrt \cdot \sqrt \cdots An analogous formula for is: \frac2\varpi = \sqrt\frac12 \cdot \sqrt \cdot \sqrt \cdots The Machin formula for is \tfrac14\pi = 4 \arctan \tfrac15 - \arctan \tfrac1, and several similar formulas for can be developed using trigonometric angle sum identities, e.g. Euler's formula \tfrac14\pi = \arctan\tfrac12 + \arctan\tfrac13. Analogous formulas can be developed for , including the following found by Gauss: \tfrac12\varpi = 2 \operatorname \tfrac12 + \operatorname \tfrac7. The lemniscate and circle constants were found by Gauss to be related to each-other by the arithmetic-geometric mean : \frac\pi\varpi = M


Zeros, poles and symmetries

The lemniscate functions and are even and odd functions, respectively, :\begin \operatorname(-z) &= \operatorname z \\ mu\operatorname(-z) &= - \operatorname z \end At translations of \tfrac12\varpi, and are exchanged, and at translations of \tfrac12i\varpi they are additionally rotated and reciprocated: :\begin \bigl(z \pm \tfrac12\varpi\bigr) &= \mp\operatorname z,& \bigl(z \pm \tfrac12i\varpi\bigr) &= \frac \\ mu\bigl(z \pm \tfrac12\varpi\bigr) &= \pm\operatorname z,& \bigl(z \pm \tfrac12i\varpi\bigr) &= \frac \end Doubling these to translations by a unit-Gaussian-integer multiple of \varpi (that is, \pm \varpi or \pm i\varpi), negates each function, an involution: :\begin \operatorname (z + \varpi) &= \operatorname (z + i\varpi) = -\operatorname z \\ mu\operatorname (z + \varpi) &= \operatorname (z + i\varpi) = -\operatorname z \end As a result, both functions are invariant under translation by an even-Gaussian-integer multiple of \varpi. That is, a displacement (a + bi)\varpi, with a + b = 2k for integers , , and . :\begin \bigl(z + (1 + i)\varpi\bigr) &= \bigl(z + (1 - i)\varpi\bigr) = \operatorname z \\ mu\bigl(z + (1 + i)\varpi\bigr) &= \bigl(z + (1 - i)\varpi\bigr) = \operatorname z \end This makes them

s (-1)^i. The function is reflected and offset from the function, \operatornamez = \bigl(\tfrac12\varpi - z\bigr). It has zeros for arguments \bigl(a + \tfrac12\bigr)\varpi + b\varpi i and poles for arguments a\varpi + \bigl(b + \tfrac12\bigr)\varpi i, with residues (-1)^i. Also :\operatornamez=\operatornamew\leftrightarrow z=(-1)^w+(m+ni)\varpi for some m,n\in\mathbb and :\operatorname((1\pm i)z)=(1\pm i)\frac. The last formula is a special case of complex multiplication. Analogous formulas can be given for \operatorname((n+mi)z) where n+mi is any Gaussian integer – the function \operatorname has complex multiplication by \mathbb /math>. Since the lemniscate sine is a meromorphic function in the whole complex plane, it can be written as a ratio of entire functions. Gauss showed that has the following product expansion, reflecting the distribution of its zeros and poles: :\operatornamez=\frac where :M(z)=z\prod_\left(1-\frac\right),\quad N(z)=\prod_\left(1-\frac\right). Here, \alpha and \beta denote, respectively, the zeros and poles of which are in the quadrant \operatornamez>0,\operatornamez\ge 0. Gauss conjectured that \ln N(\varpi)=\pi/2 (this later turned out to be true) and commented that this “is most remarkable and a proof of this property promises the most serious increase in analysis”. Gauss expanded the products for M and N as infinite series. He also discovered several identities involving the functions M and N, such as :N(z)=\frac, :N(2z)=M^4(z)+N^4(z) and :M(2z)=2M(z)N(z)N((1+i)z). Since the functions M and N are entire, their power series expansions converge everywhere in the complex plane: :M(z)=z-2\frac-36\frac+552\frac+\cdots,\quad z\in\mathbb :N(z)=1+2\frac-4\frac+408\frac+\cdots,\quad z\in\mathbb. There are also infinite series reflecting the distribution of the zeros and poles of : :\frac=\sum_\frac :\operatornamez=-i\sum_\frac.


Pythagorean-like identity

The lemniscate functions satisfy a Pythagorean-like identity: :\operatorname z + \operatorname z + \operatorname z \, \operatorname z = 1 As a result, the parametric equation (x, y) = (\operatorname t, \operatorname t) parametrizes the
quartic curve In algebraic geometry, a quartic plane curve is a plane algebraic curve of the fourth degree. It can be defined by a bivariate quartic equation: :Ax^4+By^4+Cx^3y+Dx^2y^2+Exy^3+Fx^3+Gy^3+Hx^2y+Ixy^2+Jx^2+Ky^2+Lxy+Mx+Ny+P=0, with at least one o ...
x^2 + y^2 + x^2y^2 = 1. This identity can alternately be rewritten: :\bigl(1 + \operatorname z\bigr) \bigl(1+\operatorname z\bigr) = 2 :\operatorname z = \frac,\quad \operatorname z = \frac Defining a tangent-sum operator as a \oplus b \mathrel \tan(\arctan a + \arctan b), gives: :\operatorname z \oplus \operatorname z = 1


Derivatives and integrals

The derivatives are as follows: :\begin \frac\operatorname z = \operatornamez &= -\bigl(1 + \operatorname z\bigr)\operatornamez=-\frac \\ \operatorname z &= 1 - \operatorname z \\ mu \frac\operatorname z = \operatornamez &= \bigl(1 + \operatorname z\bigr)\operatornamez=\frac\\ \operatorname z &= 1 - \operatorname z \end The second derivatives of lemniscate sine and lemniscate cosine are their negative duplicated cubes: :\frac\operatornamez = -2\operatornamez :\frac\operatornamez = -2\operatornamez The lemniscate functions can be integrated using the inverse tangent function: :\int\operatorname z \mathop = \arctan \operatorname z + C :\int\operatorname z \mathop = -\arctan \operatorname z + C


Argument sum and multiple identities

Like the trigonometric functions, the lemniscate functions satisfy argument sum and difference identities. The original identity used by Fagnano for bisection of the lemniscate was: : \operatorname(u+v) = \frac The derivative and Pythagorean-like identities can be used to rework the identity used by Fagano in terms of and . Defining a tangent-sum operator a \oplus b \mathrel \tan(\arctan a + \arctan b) and tangent-difference operator a \ominus b \mathrel a \oplus (-b), the argument sum and difference identities can be expressed as: :\begin \operatorname(u+v) &= \operatornameu\,\operatornamev \ominus \operatornameu\, \operatornamev = \frac \\ mu\operatorname(u-v) &= \operatornameu\,\operatornamev \oplus \operatornameu\, \operatornamev \\ mu\operatorname(u+v) &= \operatornameu\,\operatornamev \oplus \operatornameu\,\operatornamev = \frac \\ mu\operatorname(u-v) &= \operatornameu\,\operatornamev \ominus \operatornameu\,\operatornamev \end These resemble their trigonometric analogs: :\begin \cos(u \pm v) &= \cos u\,\cos v \mp \sin u\,\sin v \\ mu\sin(u \pm v) &= \sin u\,\cos v \pm \cos u\,\sin v \end In particular, to compute the complex-valued functions in real components, :\begin \operatorname(x + iy) &= \frac \\ mu&= \frac - i \frac \\ 2mu\operatorname(x + iy) &= \frac \\ mu&= \frac + i \frac \end Bisection formulas: : \operatorname^2 \tfrac12x = \frac : \operatorname^2 \tfrac12x = \frac Duplication formulas:§46 p. 80
/ref> : \operatorname 2x = \frac : \operatorname 2x = 2\,\operatornamex\,\operatornamex\frac Triplication formulas: : \operatorname 3x = \frac : \operatorname 3x = \frac Note the "reverse symmetry" of the coefficients of numerator and denominator of \operatorname3x. This phenomenon can be observed in multiplication formulas for \operatorname\beta x where \beta=m+ni whenever m,n\in\mathbb and m+n is odd.


Lemnatomic polynomials

Let L be the lattice :L=\mathbb(1+i)\varpi +\mathbb(1-i)\varpi. Furthermore, let K=\mathbb(i), \mathcal=\mathbb /math>, z\in\mathbb, \beta=m+in, \gamma=m'+in' (where m,n,m',n'\in\mathbb), m+n be odd, m'+n' be odd, \gamma\equiv 1\,\operatorname\, 2(1+i) and \operatorname \beta z=M_\beta (\operatornamez). Then :M_\beta (x)=i^\varepsilon x \frac for some coprime polynomials P_\beta (x), Q_\beta (x)\in \mathcal /math> and some \varepsilon\in \ where :xP_\beta (x^4)=\prod_\Lambda_\gamma (x) and :\Lambda_\beta (x)=\prod_(x-\operatorname\alpha\delta_\beta) where \delta_\beta is any \beta- torsion generator (i.e. \delta_\beta \in (1/\beta)L and delta_\betain (1/\beta)L/L generates (1/\beta)L/L as an \mathcal-

So for example, the minimal polynomial of \omega_5 (and also of \tilde_5) in K /math> is :\Lambda_5(x)=x^+52x^-26x^8-12x^4+1, and :\omega_5=\sqrt /math> :\tilde_5=\sqrt /math>The fourth root with the least positive principal argument is chosen. (an equivalent expression is given in the table below). Another example is :\Lambda_(x)=x^4-1+2i which is the minimal polynomial of \omega_ (and also of \tilde_) in K If p is prime and \beta is positive and odd, then :\operatorname\Lambda_=\beta^2\prod_\left(1-\frac\right)\left(1-\frac\right) which can be compared to the cyclotomic analog :\operatorname\Phi_=k\prod_\left(1-\frac\right).

The associated constants of the Weierstrass function are e_1=\tfrac12,\ e_2=0,\ e_3=-\tfrac12. The related case of a Weierstrass elliptic function with , may be handled by a scaling transformation. However, this may involve complex numbers. If it is desired to remain within real numbers, there are two cases to consider: and . The period

The square of the lemniscate sine can be represented as :\operatorname^2 z=\frac=\frac= where the second and third argument of \wp denote the lattice invariants and . Another representation is :\operatorname^2z=\frac where the second argument of \weierp denotes the period ratio \tau. The lemniscate sine is a

. The Jacobi elliptic functions \operatorname and \operatorname with positive real elliptic modulus have an "upright" rectangular lattice aligned with real and imaginary axes. Alternately, the functions \operatorname and \operatorname with modulus (and \operatorname and \operatorname with modulus 1/\sqrt) have a square period lattice rotated 1/8 turn. : \operatorname z = \operatorname(z;i)=\left(\sqrt2z;\tfrac\right) : \operatorname z = \operatorname(z;i)= \left(\sqrt2z;\tfrac\right) where the second arguments denote the elliptic modulus k. Yet another representation of \operatorname, in terms of the Jacobi elliptic function \operatorname, is :\operatornamez=\operatorname(z;\sqrt) where the second argument of \operatorname denotes the elliptic modulus k. The functions \tilde and \tilde can also be expressed in terms of Jacobi elliptic functions: :\tilde\,z=\tfrac\operatorname\left(\sqrtz;\tfrac\right)\operatorname\left(\sqrtz;\tfrac\right), :\tilde\,z=\operatorname\left(\sqrtz;\tfrac\right)\operatorname\left(\sqrtz;\tfrac\right).


Relation to the modular lambda function

The lemniscate sine can be used for the computation of values of the
modular lambda function In mathematics, the modular lambda function λ(τ)\lambda(\tau) is not a modular function (per the Wikipedia definition), but every modular function is a rational function in \lambda(\tau). Some authors use a non-equivalent definition of "modular f ...

Ramanujan's cos/cosh identity

Ramanujan's famous cos/cosh identity states that if :R(s)=\frac\sum_\frac, then :R(s)^+R(is)^=2,\quad \left, \operatornames\< \frac,\left, \operatornames\< \frac. There is a close relation between the lemniscate functions and R(s). Indeed, :\tilde\,s=-\fracR(s)\quad \left, \operatornames\<\frac :\tilde\,s=\frac\sqrt,\quad \left, \operatornames-\frac\<\frac,\,\left, \operatornames\<\frac and :R(s)=\frac,\quad \left, \operatornames\right , <\frac.

Methods of computation

Several methods of computing \operatorname x involve first making the change of variables \pi x = \varpi \tilde and then computing \operatorname(\varpi \tilde / \pi). A hyperbolic series method: :\operatorname\left(\fracx\right)=\frac\sum_ \frac,\quad x\in\mathbb :\frac = \frac\pi\varpi \sum_\frac=\frac\pi\varpi \sum_\frac,\quad x\in\mathbb

Fourier series for the logarithm of the lemniscate sine: :\ln \operatorname\left(\frac\varpi\pi x\right)=\ln 2-\frac+\ln\sin x+2\sum_^\infty \frac,\quad \left, \operatornamex\<\frac The following series identities were discovered by Ramanujan: :\frac=\frac-\frac-8\sum_^\infty \frac,\quad \left, \operatornamex\<\pi :\arctan\operatorname\Bigl(\frac\varpi\pi x\Bigr)=2\sum_^\infty \frac,\quad \left, \operatornamex\<\frac The functions \tilde and \tilde analogous to \sin and \cos on the unit circle have the following Fourier and hyperbolic series expansions: :\tilde\,s=2\sqrt\frac\sum_^\infty\frac,\quad \left, \operatornames\<\frac :\tilde\,s=\sqrt\frac\sum_^\infty \frac,\quad \left, \operatornames\<\frac :\tilde\,s=\frac\sum_\frac,\quad s\in\mathbb :\tilde\,s=\frac\sum_\frac,\quad s\in\mathbb


Inverse functions

The inverse function of the lemniscate sine is the lemniscate arcsine, defined as : \operatorname x = \int_0^x \frac. It can also be represented by the hypergeometric function: :\operatornamex=x\,_2F_1\left(\tfrac12,\tfrac14;\tfrac54;x^4\right). The inverse function of the lemniscate cosine is the lemniscate arccosine. This function is defined by following expression: : \operatorname x = \int_^ \frac = \tfrac12\varpi - \operatornamex For in the interval -1 \leq x \leq 1, \operatorname\operatorname x = x and \operatorname\operatorname x = x For the halving of the lemniscate arc length these formulas are valid: :\begin \bigl(\tfrac12\operatorname x\bigr) &= \bigl(\tfrac12\arcsin x\bigr) \,\bigl(\tfrac12\operatorname x\bigr) \\ \bigl(\tfrac12\operatorname x\bigr)^2 &= \bigl(\tfrac14\arcsin x^2\bigr) \end


Expression using elliptic integrals

The lemniscate arcsine and the lemniscate arccosine can also be expressed by the Legendre-Form: These functions can be displayed directly by using the incomplete elliptic integral of the first kind: :\operatorname x = \fracF\left(;\frac\right) :\operatorname x = 2(\sqrt2-1)F\left(;(\sqrt2-1)^2\right) The arc lengths of the lemniscate can also be expressed by only using the arc lengths of

s (calculated by elliptic integrals of the second kind): :\begin \operatorname x = &\fracE\left(;(\sqrt2-1)^2\right) \\ mu&\ \ - E\left(;\frac\right) + \frac \end The lemniscate arccosine has this expression: :\operatorname x = \fracF\left(\arccos x;\frac\right)


Use in integration

The lemniscate arcsine can be used to integrate many functions. Here is a list of important integrals (the constants of integration are omitted): :\int\frac\,\mathrm dx=\operatorname x :\int\frac\,\mathrm dx= :\int\frac\,\mathrm dx= :\int\frac\,\mathrm dx= :\int\frac\,\mathrm dx= :\int\frac\,\mathrm dx= :\int\frac\,\mathrm dx= :\int\frac\,\mathrm dx= :\int\frac\,\mathrm dx= :\int\sqrt\,\mathrm dx=\tanh \tfrac12x :\int\sqrt\,\mathrm dx=\tan \tfrac12x


Hyperbolic lemniscate functions

For convenience, let \sigma=\sqrt\varpi. \sigma is the "squircular" analog of \pi (see below). The decimal expansion of \sigma (i.e. 3.7081\ldots) appears in entry 34e of chapter 11 of Ramanujan's second notebook. The hyperbolic lemniscate sine () and cosine () can be defined as inverses of elliptic integrals as follows: :z \mathrel \int_0^ \frac = \int_^\infty \frac where in (*), z is in the square with corners \. Beyond that square, the functions can be analytically continued to meromorphic functions in the whole complex plane. The complete integral has the value: :\int_0^\infty \frac = \tfrac14 \Beta\bigl(\tfrac14, \tfrac14\bigr) = \frac = 1.85407\;46773\;01371\ldots Therefore, the two defined functions have following relation to each other: :\operatorname z = The product of hyperbolic lemniscate sine and hyperbolic lemniscate cosine is equal to one: :\operatornamez\,\operatornamez = 1 The functions \operatorname and \operatorname have a square period lattice with fundamental periods \. The hyperbolic lemniscate functions can be expressed in terms of lemniscate sine and lemniscate cosine: :\operatorname\bigl(\sqrt2 z\bigr) = \frac :\operatorname\bigl(\sqrt2 z\bigr) = \frac But there is also a relation to the
Jacobi elliptic functions In mathematics, the Jacobi elliptic functions are a set of basic elliptic functions. They are found in the description of the motion of a pendulum (see also pendulum (mathematics)), as well as in the design of electronic elliptic filters. While tri ...

x^4 + y^4 = 1 (sometimes called a squircle) the hyperbolic lemniscate sine and cosine are analogous to the tangent and cotangent functions in a unit circle x^2 + y^2 = 1 (the quadratic Fermat curve). If the origin and a point on the curve are connected to each other by a line , the hyperbolic lemniscate sine of twice the enclosed area between this line and the x-axis is the y-coordinate of the intersection of with the line x = 1. Just as \pi is the area enclosed by the circle x^2+y^2=1, the area enclosed by the squircle x^4+y^4=1 is \sigma. Moreover, :M(1,1/\sqrt)=\frac where M is the arithmetic–geometric mean. The hyperbolic lemniscate sine satisfies the argument addition identity: : \operatorname(a+b) = \frac When x is real, the derivative can be expressed in this way: : \frac\operatornamex = \sqrt.

The Hurwitz numbers can also be determined as follows: \mathrm_4=1/10, :\mathrm_=\frac\sum_^\binom(4k-1)(4(n-k)-1)\mathrm_\mathrm_,\quad n\ge 2 and \mathrm_n=0 if n is not a multiple of 4.

If 4n+1 is not a prime, then \mathrm_n\equiv 3\,(\mathrm\,4). Some authors instead define the Hurwitz numbers as \mathrm_n'=\mathrm_.
