Elliptic Exponential Function


The elliptic exponential function eexp_(a,b)(u) gives the value of x in the elliptic logarithm

 eln_(a,b)(x)=1/2int_infty^x(dt)/(sqrt(t^3+at^2+bt))

for a and b real such that u=eln_(a,b)(x).

It is implemented in the Wolfram Language as EllipticExp[u, {a, b}], which returns x together with the superfluous parameter y=+/-sqrt(x^3+ax^2+bx) which multiplies the above integral by a factor of sqrt(y^2)/y.

The top plot above shows x(u) (red), y(u) (violet), and sqrt(y^2)/y (blue) for a=b=1. The other plots show x(z) in the complex plane.

EllipticExpReIm2
EllipticExpContours2

The plots above show y(z) in the complex plane for a=b=1.

As can be seen from the plots, the elliptic exponential function is doubly periodic in the complex plane.
