An Entity of Type: WikicatThetaFunctions, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

There are a number of notational systems for the Jacobi theta functions. The notations given in the Wikipedia article define the original function which is equivalent to where and . However, a similar notation is defined somewhat differently in Whittaker and Watson, p. 487: This notation is attributed to "Hermite, H.J.S. Smith and some other mathematicians". They also define Note that there is no factor of π in the argument as in the previous definitions.

  • There are a number of notational systems for the Jacobi theta functions. The notations given in the Wikipedia article define the original function which is equivalent to where and . However, a similar notation is defined somewhat differently in Whittaker and Watson, p. 487: This notation is attributed to "Hermite, H.J.S. Smith and some other mathematicians". They also define This is a factor of i off from the definition of as defined in the Wikipedia article. These definitions can be made at least proportional by x = za, but other definitions cannot. Whittaker and Watson, Abramowitz and Stegun, and Gradshteyn and Ryzhik all follow Tannery and Molk, in which Note that there is no factor of π in the argument as in the previous definitions. Whittaker and Watson refer to still other definitions of . The warning in Abramowitz and Stegun, "There is a bewildering variety of notations...in consulting books caution should be exercised," may be viewed as an understatement. In any expression, an occurrence of should not be assumed to have any particular definition. It is incumbent upon the author to state what definition of is intended. (en)
