On properties of elliptic jacobi functions and applications

Abstract

In this paper we are interested in developments of the elliptic functions of Jacobi. In particular a trigonometric expansion of the classical theta functions introduced by the author (Algebraic methods and q-special functions, C.R.M. Proceedings and Lectures Notes, A.M.S., vol 22, Providence, 1999, 53–57) permits one to establish a differential system. This system is derived from the heat equation and is satisfied by their coefficients. Several applications may be deduced. Other types of expansions for the Jacobi elliptic functions as well as for the Zeta function are examined. © 2005 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
