ELK Function
Evaluates the complete elliptic integral of the kind K(x).
Usage
result = ELK(x)
Input Parameters
x—Argument for which the function value is desired.
Returned Value
result —The complete elliptic integral K(x).
Input Keywords
Double—If present and nonzero, double precision is used.
Discussion
The complete elliptic integral of the first kind is defined to be:
The argument x must satisfy 0 x < 1; otherwise, ELK returns the largest representable floating-point number.
The function K(x) is computed using the ELRF Function and the relation K(x) = RF(0, 1 x, 1).
Example
The integral K(0) is evaluated.
