As stated, this PR would like to introduce complete elliptic integrals of the first, second and third kind with exact arguments in the Calcium framework:
ca_elliptic_k
,ca_elliptic_e
andca_elliptic_pi
. In my opinion, support of multiple transcendental functions enhances the functionality and allows for more applications of the FLINT library, in particular since user-defined functions in Calcium are not yet supported.The implementation is quite basic. I have implemented the Legendre relation of the elliptic integrals to allow for some simplifications, but so far no further functional equations.
(I just encountered myself the situation that I would have liked to work with elliptic integrals, but did not find them implemented. I think that they can also be useful for anyone else, and in particular the implementation was almost cost-free. Thus I thought that maybe such a pull request would be sensible.)
Best regards.
