Neville theta functions

For other θ functions, see Theta function (disambiguation).

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

\theta _{c}(z,m)={\sqrt {2}}{\sqrt {\pi }}{\sqrt[ {4}]{q(m)}}\sum _{{k=0}}^{\infty }(q(m))^{{k(k+1)}}\cos \left({\frac 12}\cdot {\frac {(2k+1)\pi z}{K(m)}}\right){\frac {1}{{\sqrt {K(m)}}}}{\frac {1}{{\sqrt[ {4}]{m}}}}

\theta _{d}(z,m)=1/2\,{\sqrt {2}}{\sqrt {\pi }}\left(1+2\,\sum _{{k=1}}^{\infty }(q(m))^{{k^{2}}}\cos \left({\frac {\pi zk}{K(m)}}\right)\right){\frac {1}{{\sqrt {K(m)}}}}

\theta _{n}(z,m)=1/2\,{\sqrt {\pi }}{\sqrt {2}}\left(1+2\sum _{{k=1}}^{\infty }(-1)^{k}(q(m))^{{k^{2}}}\cos \left({\frac {\pi zk}{K(m)}}\right)\right){\frac {1}{{\sqrt[ {4}]{1-m}}}}{\frac {1}{{\sqrt {K(m)}}}}

\theta _{s}(z,m)={\sqrt {\pi }}{\sqrt {2}}{\sqrt[ {4}]{q(m)}}\sum _{{k=0}}^{\infty }(-1)^{k}(q(m))^{{k(k+1)}}\sin \left(1/2\,{\frac {(2k+1)\pi z}{K(m)}}\right){\frac {1}{{\sqrt[ {4}]{1-m}}}}{\frac {1}{{\sqrt[ {4}]{m}}}}{\frac {1}{{\sqrt {K(m)}}}}

where:

$K(m)=\operatorname {EllipticK}({\sqrt m})$
$K'(m)=\operatorname {EllipticK}({\sqrt {1-m}})$
$q(m)=e^{{-\pi K(m)/K'(m)}}$ is the elliptic nome

Examples

Substitute z = 2.5, m = 0.3 into the above definitions of Neville theta functions(using Maple) once obtain the following(consistent with results from wolfram math).

$\theta _{c}(2.5,0.3)=-0.65900466676738154967$ ^[5]
$\theta _{d}(2.5,0.3)=0.95182196661267561994$
$\theta _{n}(2.5,0.3)=1.0526693354651613637$
$\theta _{s}(2.5,0.3)=0.82086879524530400536$

Symmetry

$\theta _{c}(z,m)=\theta _{c}(-z,m)$
$\theta _{d}(z,m)=\theta _{d}(-z,m)$
$\theta _{n}(z,m)=\theta _{n}(-z,m)$
$\theta _{s}(z,m)=-\theta _{s}(-z,m)$

Complex 3D plots

Implementation

NetvilleThetaC[z,m], NevilleThetaD[z,m], NevilleThetaN[z,m], and NevilleThetaS[z,m] are built-in functions of Mathematica^[6] No such functions in Maple.
