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

where:

  • is the elliptic nome

Relationship to other functions

The Neville theta functions may be expressed in terms of the Jacobi theta functions[5]

The Neville theta functions are related to the Jacobi elliptic functions. If pq(u,m) is a Jacobi elliptic function (p and q are one of s,c,n,d), then

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).

Symmetry

Complex 3D plots

Implementation

NetvilleThetaC[z,m], NevilleThetaD[z,m], NevilleThetaN[z,m], and NevilleThetaS[z,m] are built-in functions of Mathematica[7] No such functions in Maple.
