Pythagorean-like identity

The lemniscate functions satisfy a

-like identity: :\operatorname z + \operatorname z + \operatorname z \, \operatorname z = 1 As a result, the parametric equation (x, y) = (\operatorname t, \operatorname t) parametrizes the quartic curve x^2 + y^2 + x^2y^2 = 1. This identity can alternately be rewritten: :\bigl(1 + \operatorname z\bigr) \bigl(1+\operatorname z\bigr) = 2 :\operatorname z = \frac,\quad \operatorname z = \frac Defining a tangent-sum operator as a \oplus b \mathrel \tan(\arctan a + \arctan b) = \frac, gives: :\operatorname z \oplus \operatorname z = 1. The functions \tilde and \tilde satisfy another Pythagorean-like identity: :\left(\int_0^x \tilde\,t\,\mathrm dt\right)^2+\left(1-\int_0^x \tilde\,t\,\mathrm dt\right)^2=1.


Derivatives and integrals

The derivatives are as follows: :\begin \frac\operatorname z = \operatornamez &= -\bigl(1 + \operatorname z\bigr)\operatornamez=-\frac \\ \operatorname z &= 1 - \operatorname z \\ mu \frac\operatorname z = \operatornamez &= \bigl(1 + \operatorname z\bigr)\operatornamez=\frac\\ \operatorname z &= 1 - \operatorname z\end :\begin\frac\,\tilde\,z&=-2\,\tilde\,z\,\operatornamez-\frac\\ \frac\,\tilde\,z&=2\,\tilde\,z\,\operatornamez-\frac \end The second derivatives of lemniscate sine and lemniscate cosine are their negative duplicated cubes: :\frac\operatornamez = -2\operatornamez :\frac\operatornamez = -2\operatornamez The lemniscate functions can be integrated using the inverse tangent function: :\begin\int\operatorname z \mathop& = \arctan \operatorname z + C\\ \int\operatorname z \mathop& = -\arctan \operatorname z + C\\ \int\tilde\,z\,\mathrm dz&=\frac+C\\ \int\tilde\,z\,\mathrm dz&=-\frac+C\end


Argument sum and multiple identities

Like the trigonometric functions, the lemniscate functions satisfy argument sum and difference identities. The original identity used by Fagnano for bisection of the lemniscate was: : \operatorname(u+v) = \frac The derivative and Pythagorean-like identities can be used to rework the identity used by Fagano in terms of and . Defining a tangent-sum operator a \oplus b \mathrel \tan(\arctan a + \arctan b) and tangent-difference operator a \ominus b \mathrel a \oplus (-b), the argument sum and difference identities can be expressed as: :\begin \operatorname(u+v) &= \operatornameu\,\operatornamev \ominus \operatornameu\, \operatornamev = \frac \\ mu\operatorname(u-v) &= \operatornameu\,\operatornamev \oplus \operatornameu\, \operatornamev \\ mu\operatorname(u+v) &= \operatornameu\,\operatornamev \oplus \operatornameu\,\operatornamev = \frac \\ mu\operatorname(u-v) &= \operatornameu\,\operatornamev \ominus \operatornameu\,\operatornamev \end These resemble their trigonometric analogs: :\begin \cos(u \pm v) &= \cos u\,\cos v \mp \sin u\,\sin v \\ mu\sin(u \pm v) &= \sin u\,\cos v \pm \cos u\,\sin v \end In particular, to compute the complex-valued functions in real components, :\begin \operatorname(x + iy) &= \frac \\ mu&= \frac - i \frac \\ 2mu\operatorname(x + iy) &= \frac \\ mu&= \frac + i \frac \end Gauss discovered that :\frac=\frac where u,v\in\mathbb such that both sides are well-defined. Also :\operatorname(u+v)\operatorname(u-v)=\frac where u,v\in\mathbb such that both sides are well-defined; this resembles the trigonometric analog :\sin (u+v)\sin (u-v)=\sin^2u-\sin^2v. Bisection formulas: : \operatorname^2 \tfrac12x = \frac : \operatorname^2 \tfrac12x = \frac Duplication formulas:§46 p. 80
/ref> : \operatorname 2x = \frac : \operatorname 2x = 2\,\operatornamex\,\operatornamex\frac Triplication formulas: : \operatorname 3x = \frac : \operatorname 3x = \frac Note the "reverse symmetry" of the coefficients of numerator and denominator of \operatorname3x. This phenomenon can be observed in multiplication formulas for \operatorname\beta x where \beta=m+ni whenever m,n\in\mathbb and m+n is odd.

Elliptic characterization

Let C be a point on the ellipse x^2+2y^2=1 in the first quadrant and let D be the projection of C on the unit circle x^2+y^2=1. The distance r between the origin A and the point C is a function of \varphi (the angle BAC where B=(1,0); equivalently the length of the circular arc BD). The parameter u is given by :u=\int_0^r(\theta)\, \mathrm d\theta=\int_0^\frac. If E is the projection of D on the x-axis and if F is the projection of C on the x-axis, then the lemniscate elliptic functions are given by :\operatornameu=\overline, \quad \operatornameu=\overline, :\tilde\, u=\overline\overline, \quad \tilde\, u=\overline\overline.

Gauss showed that has the following product expansion, reflecting the distribution of its zeros and poles: p. 227. :\operatornamez=\frac where :M(z)=z\prod_\left(1-\frac\right),\quad N(z)=\prod_\left(1-\frac\right). Here, \alpha and \beta denote, respectively, the zeros and poles of which are in the quadrant \operatornamez>0,\operatornamez\ge 0. A proof can be found in.

convergence arguments to justify interchanging of limiting operations) that :\frac=-\sum_^\infty 2^\mathrm_\frac,\quad \left, z\<\varpi (where \mathrm_n are the Hurwitz numbers defined in Lemniscate elliptic functions § Hurwitz numbers) and :\frac=(1+i)\frac-\frac. Therefore :\frac=\sum_^\infty 2^(1-(-1)^n 2^)\mathrm_\frac,\quad \left, z\<\frac. It is known that :\frac=\sum_^\infty 2^(4n-1)\mathrm_\frac,\quad \left, z\<\varpi. Then from :\frac\frac=-\frac-\operatorname^2z and :\operatorname^2z=\frac-\frac we get :\frac=-\sum_^\infty 2^(2-(-1)^n 2^)\mathrm_\frac,\quad \left, z\<\frac. Hence :\frac=\frac-\frac,\quad \left, z\<\frac. Therefore :\operatornamez=C\frac for some constant C for \left, z\<\varpi/\sqrt but this result holds for all z\in\mathbb by analytic continuation. Using :\lim_\frac=1 gives C=1 which completes the proof. \blacksquare Proof by Liouville's theorem Let :f(z)=\frac=\frac, with patches at removable singularities. The shifting formulas :M(z+2\varpi)=e^M(z),\quad M(z+2\varpi i)=e^M(z) imply that f is an elliptic function with periods 2\varpi and 2\varpi i, just as \operatorname. It follows that the function g defined by :g(z)=\frac, when patched, is an elliptic function without poles. By Liouville's theorem, it is a constant. By using \operatornamez=z+\operatorname(z^5), M(z)=z+\operatorname(z^5) and N(z)=1+\operatorname(z^4), this constant is 1, which proves the theorem. \blacksquare Gauss conjectured that \ln N(\varpi)=\pi/2 (this later turned out to be true) and commented that this “is most remarkable and a proof of this property promises the most serious increase in analysis”. Gauss expanded the products for M and N as infinite series (see below). He also discovered several identities involving the functions M and N, such as :N(z)=\frac,\quad z\notin \varpi\mathbb /math> and :N(2z)=M(z)^4+N(z)^4. Thanks to a certain theorem on splitting limits, we are allowed to multiply out the infinite products and collect like powers of z. Doing so gives the following power series expansions that are convergent everywhere in the complex plane: :M(z)=z-2\frac-36\frac+552\frac+\cdots,\quad z\in\mathbb :N(z)=1+2\frac-4\frac+408\frac+\cdots,\quad z\in\mathbb. This can be contrasted with the power series of \operatorname which has only finite radius of convergence (because it is not entire). We define S and T by :S(z)=N\left(\frac\right)^2-iM\left(\frac\right)^2,\quad T(z)=S(iz). Then the lemniscate cosine can be written as :\operatornamez=\frac where :S(z)=1-\frac-\frac-3\frac+17\frac-9\frac+111\frac+\cdots,\quad z\in\mathbb :T(z)=1+\frac-\frac+3\frac+17\frac+9\frac+111\frac+\cdots,\quad z\in\mathbb. Furthermore, the identities :M(2z)=2 M(z) N(z) S(z) T(z), :S(2z)=S(z)^4-2M(z)^4, :T(2z)=T(z)^4-2M(z)^4 and the Pythagorean-like identities :M(z)^2+S(z)^2=N(z)^2, :M(z)^2+N(z)^2=T(z)^2 hold for all z\in\mathbb. The quasi-addition formulas :M(z+w)M(z-w)=M(z)^2N(w)^2-N(z)^2M(w)^2, :N(z+w)N(z-w)=N(z)^2N(w)^2+M(z)^2M(w)^2 (where z,w\in\mathbb) imply further multiplication formulas for M and N by recursion. Gauss' M and N satisfy the following system of differential equations: :M(z)M''(z)=M'(z)^2-N(z)^2, :N(z)N''(z)=N'(z)^2+M(z)^2 where z\in\mathbb. Both M and N satisfy the differential equation :X(z)X'(z)=4X'(z)X(z)-3X''(z)^2+2X(z)^2,\quad z\in\mathbb. The functions can be also expressed by integrals involving elliptic functions: :M(z)=z\exp\left(-\int_0^z\int_0^w \left(\frac-\frac\right)\, \mathrm dv\,\mathrm dw\right), :N(z)=\exp\left(\int_0^z\int_0^w \operatorname^2v\,\mathrm dv\,\mathrm dw\right) where the contours do not cross the poles; while the innermost integrals are path-independent, the outermost ones are path-dependent; however, the path dependence cancels out with the non-injectivity of the complex exponential function. An alternative way of expressing the lemniscate functions as a ratio of entire functions involves the theta functions (see Lemniscate elliptic functions § Methods of computation); the relation between M,N and \theta_1,\theta_3 is :M(z)=2^e^\sqrt\theta_1\left(\frac,e^\right), :N(z)=2^e^\sqrt\theta_3\left(\frac,e^\right) where z\in\mathbb.

Because the summation of the infinitesimally small triangular areas describes the area dimensions. In the case of the superellipse in the picture, half of the area concerned is shown in green. Because of the quadratic ratio of the areas to the lengths of triangles with the same infinitesimally small angle at the origin of the coordinates, the following formula applies: :\frac \text(s) = \biggl frac \arctan(s)\biggrD(s)^2 = \fracD(s)^2 = \frac\biggl(\frac\biggr)^2 = \frac


Second proof: integral formation and area subtraction

In the picture shown, the area tangent lemniscatus hyperbolicus assigns the height of the intersection of the diagonal and the curved line to twice the green area. The green area itself is created as the difference integral of the superellipse function from zero to the relevant height value minus the area of the adjacent triangle: :\text(v) = 2\biggl(\int_^ \sqrt \mathrmw\biggr) - v\sqrt :\frac \text(v) = 2\sqrt - \biggl(\frac v\sqrt biggr) = \frac The following transformation applies: :\text(x) = \text\biggl(\frac\biggr) And so, according to the
chain rule In calculus, the chain rule is a formula that expresses the derivative of the Function composition, composition of two differentiable functions and in terms of the derivatives of and . More precisely, if h=f\circ g is the function such that h ...
, this derivation holds: :\frac \text(x) = \frac \text\biggl(\frac\biggr) = \biggl(\frac \frac \biggr) \biggl - \biggl(\frac\biggr)^4\biggr = := \frac \biggl - \biggl(\frac\biggr)^4\biggr = \frac \biggl(\frac\biggr )^ = \frac


Specific values

This list shows the values of the Hyperbolic Lemniscate Sine accurately. Recall that, :\int_0^\infty \frac = \tfrac14 \Beta\bigl(\tfrac14, \tfrac14\bigr) = \frac = \frac = 1.85407\ldots whereas \tfrac12 \Beta\bigl(\tfrac12, \tfrac12\bigr) = \tfrac2, so the values below such as \bigl(\tfrac\bigr) = \bigl(\tfrac\bigr) = 1 are analogous to the trigonometric \bigl(\tfrac2\bigr) = 1. : \operatorname\,\left(\frac\right) = 1 : \operatorname\,\left(\frac\right) = \frac\sqrt : \operatorname\,\left(\frac\right) = \sqrt : \operatorname\,\left(\frac\right) = \frac(\sqrt-1) : \operatorname\,\left(\frac\right) = \frac(\sqrt+1) : \operatorname\,\left(\frac\right) = \frac\sqrt\sqrt = 2\sqrt sqrt : \operatorname\,\left(\frac\right) = \frac(\sqrt+1)\sqrt = 2\sqrt sqrt : \operatorname\,\left(\frac\right) = \frac\sqrt\sqrt = 2\sqrt sqrt : \operatorname\,\left(\frac\right) = \frac(\sqrt+1)\sqrt = 2\sqrt sqrt : \operatorname\,\left(\frac\right) = \frac(\sqrt+1)(1-\sqrt : \operatorname\,\left(\frac\right) = \frac(\sqrt+1)(1+\sqrt That table shows the most important values of the Hyperbolic Lemniscate Tangent and Cotangent functions:


Combination and halving theorems

Given the ''hyperbolic lemniscate tangent'' ( \operatorname ) and ''hyperbolic lemniscate cotangent'' ( \operatorname ). Recall the ''hyperbolic lemniscate area functions'' from the section on inverse functions, : \operatorname(x) = \int_^ \frac \mathrmy : \operatorname(x) = \int_^ \frac \mathrmy Then the following identities can be established, :\text\bigl text(x)\bigr= \text\bigl text(x)\bigr= \frac :\text\bigl text(x)\bigr= \text\bigl text(x)\bigr= \frac hence the 4th power of \operatorname and \operatorname for these arguments is equal to one, :\text\bigl text(x)\bigr4 + \text\bigl text(x)\bigr4=1 :\text\bigl text(x)\bigr4 + \text\bigl text(x)\bigr4=1 so a 4th power version of the

. The bisection theorem of the hyperbolic sinus lemniscatus reads as follows: :\text\bigl tfrac\text(x)\bigr= \frac This formula can be revealed as a combination of the following two formulas: :\mathrm(x) = \sqrt\,\text\bigl (\sqrt + 1)^\bigr/math> :\text(x) = \sqrt\,\text\bigl(\frac\bigr) In addition, the following formulas are valid for all real values x \in \R: :\text\bigl tfrac\text(x)\bigr= \sqrt = \bigl(\sqrt - x^2 + 1\bigr) ^\bigl(\sqrt - x\bigr) :\text\bigl tfrac\text(x)\bigr= \sqrt = \bigl(\sqrt - x^2 + 1\bigr)^ \bigl(\sqrt + x\bigr) These identities follow from the last-mentioned formula: :\text tfrac\text(x)2 = \tfrac\sqrt = \bigl(2x^2 + 2 + 2\sqrt\bigr)^\bigl(\sqrt - x\bigr) :\text tfrac\text(x)2 = \tfrac\sqrt = \bigl(2x^2 + 2 + 2\sqrt\bigr)^\bigl(\sqrt + x\bigr) Hence, their 4th powers again equal one, :\text\bigl tfrac\text(x)\bigr4 + \text\bigl tfrac\text(x)\bigr4=1 The following formulas for the lemniscatic sine and lemniscatic cosine are closely related: :\text tfrac\sqrt\,\text(x)= \text tfrac\sqrt\,\text(x)= \sqrt :\text tfrac\sqrt\,\text(x)= \text tfrac\sqrt\,\text(x)= x\bigl(\sqrt + 1\bigr)^


Coordinate Transformations

Analogous to the determination of the improper integral in the Gaussian bell curve function, the coordinate transformation of a general cylinder can be used to calculate the integral from 0 to the positive infinity in the function f(x)= \exp(-x^4) integrated in relation to x. In the following, the proofs of both integrals are given in a parallel way of displaying. This is the cylindrical coordinate transformation in the Gaussian bell curve function: :\biggl int_^ \exp(-x^2) \,\mathrmx\biggr2 = \int_^ \int_^ \exp(-y^2-z^2) \,\mathrmy \,\mathrmz = := \int_^ \int_^ \det\begin \partial/\partial r\,\,r\cos(\phi) & \partial/\partial \phi\,\,r\cos(\phi) \\ \partial/\partial r\,\,r\sin(\phi) & \partial/\partial \phi\,\, r\sin(\phi) \end \exp\bigl\ \,\mathrmr \,\mathrm\phi = := \int_^ \int_^ r\exp(-r^2) \,\mathrmr \,\mathrm\phi = \int_^ \frac \,\mathrm\phi = \frac And this is the analogous coordinate transformation for the lemniscatory case: :\biggl int_^ \exp(-x^4) \,\mathrmx\biggr2 = \int_^ \int_^ \exp(-y^4-z^4) \,\mathrmy \,\mathrmz = := \int_^ \int_^ \det\begin \partial/\partial r\,\,r\,\text(\phi) & \partial/\partial \phi\,\,r\,\text(\phi) \\ \partial/\partial r\,\,r\, \text(\phi) & \partial/\partial \phi\,\,r\,\text(\phi) \end \exp\bigl\ \,\mathrmr \,\mathrm\phi = := \int_^ \int_^ r\exp(-r^4) \,\mathrmr \,\mathrm\phi = \int_^ \frac \,\mathrm\phi = \frac In the last line of this elliptically analogous equation chain there is again the original Gauss bell curve integrated with the square function as the inner substitution according to the

Define \left(\tfrac\right)_4 to be 1 if a is a quartic residue (mod p) and define it to be -1 if a is not a quartic residue (mod p). If a and p are coprime, then there exist numbers p'\in\mathbb /math> (see for these numbers) such that :\left(\frac\right)_4=\prod_ \frac.
