My understanding is that the Jacobi elliptic function is the inverse
of the elliptic function. That is,
sn(K(k),k) = 1
cn(K(k),k) = 0
dn(K(k),k) = sqrt(1-k^2)
see http://mathworld.wolfram.com/JacobiEllipticFunctions.html
but when I try this I get e.g.
gsltest 0.5
k= 0.50000000000000 K(k)= 1.68575035481260
sn= 0.99289175131682 cn= 0.11902088122262 dn= 0.71209759519570
all three of these seem wrong. My driver program is attached.
What is wrong here? Thank you for any light you can shed on this.
