## About Elliptic Integrals of the Third Kind

### Definitions

The incomplete elliptic integral of the third kind is defined as:

where k is the elliptic modulus, with , and n is a parameter called elliptic characteristic, that can take any real value. Variable is the Jacobi's amplitude.

For n=0, the elliptic integral of the third kind is identical to the respective integral of the first kind:

The complete elliptic integral of the third kind is defined as:

For n=1, the complete elliptic integral of the third kind becomes infinite for any k:
