wo sets of closed analytic functions are proposed for the approximate calculus of the complete elliptic integrals K(k) and E(k) in the normal form due to Legendre, their expressions having a remarkable simplicity and accuracy. The special usefulness of the newly proposed formulas consists in they allow performing the analytic study of variation of the functions in which they appear, using derivatives (they being expressed in terms of elementary functions only, without any special function; this would mean replacing one difficulty by another of the same kind). Comparative tables of so found approximate values with the exact ones, reproduced from special functions tables, are given (vs. the elliptic integrals’ modulus k). Both sets of formulas are given neither by spline nor by regression functions. The new functions and their derivatives coincide with the exact ones at the left domain’s end only. As for their simplicity, the formulas in k / k' do not need mathematical tables (are purely algebraic). As for accuracy, the 2nd set, more intricate, gives more accurate values and extends itself more closely to the right domain’s end. An original fast converging recurrent-iterative scheme to get sets of formulas with the desired accuracy is given in appendix.

The author proposes two sets of closedanalytic functions for the approximate calculus of thecomplete elliptic integrals of the first and secondkinds in the normal form due to Legendre, therespective expressions having a remarkablesimplicity and accuracy. The special usefulness of theproposed formulas consists in that they allowperforming the analytic study of variation of thefunctions in which they appear, by using thederivatives. Comparative tables including theapproximate values obtained by applying the two setsof formulas and the exact values, reproduced fromspecial functions tables are given (all versus therespective elliptic integrals modulus, k = sin ). It is tobe noticed that both sets of approximate formulas aregiven neither by spline nor by regression functions,but by asymptotic expansions, the identity with theexact functions being accomplished for the left end k= 0 ( = 0) of the domain. As one can see, the secondset of functions, although something more intricate,gives more accurate values than the first one andextends itself more closely to the right end k = 1 ( =90) of the domain. For reasons of accuracy, it isrecommended to use the first set until  = 70.5 only,and if it is necessary a better accuracy or a greaterupper limit of the validity domain, to use the secondset, but on no account beyond  = 88.2.

We present the possibilities provided by the MathPartner service of calculating definite and indefinite integrals. MathPartner contains software implementation of the Risch algorithm and provides users with the ability to compute antiderivatives for elementary functions. Certain integrals, including improper integrals, can be calculated using numerical algorithms. In this case, every user has the ability to indicate the required accuracy with which he needs to know the numerical value of the integral. We highlight special functions allowing us to calculate complete elliptic integrals. These include functions for calculating the arithmetic-geometric mean and the geometric-harmonic mean, which allow us to calculate the complete elliptic integrals of the first kind. The set also includes the modified arithmetic-geometric mean, proposed by Semjon Adlaj, which allows us to calculate the complete elliptic integrals of the second kind as well as the circumference of an ellipse. The Lagutinski algorithm is of particular interest. For given differentiation in the field of bivariate rational functions, one can decide whether there exists a rational integral. The algorithm is based on calculating the Lagutinski determinant. This year we are celebrating 150th anniversary of Mikhail Lagutinski.

The solutions of many problems of agricultural engineering are expressed through special functions. In particular, such problems include the problem of determining the displacement trajectories and the falling time of the hingedly working units of agricultural machines, when the suspension axis moves horizontally at a certain speed. Such working device include: a stacker valve, falling after release from the shock, a beam of transverse rakes, that falls after the release of the roll and others. The solution of such problems is to determine the motion time of a physical pendulum to a given angular position, which is expressed in terms of elliptic integrals. And although elliptic integrals are a well-studied class of functions, in many cases an approximate solution of similar problems in elementary functions is quite sufficient both from the point of view of practical application and convenience of use. In addition, this approach makes it possible to determine the approximate law of motion of a physical pendulum in an explicit form, which makes it easier to set and solve problems of optimizing the operating modes and parameters of the above-mentioned working units. By estimating the integral, such an approximate law of motion of a mathematical pendulum was obtained. Its accuracy is sufficient for engineering practice. The obtained formula for the oscillation period of a pendulum with a large amplitude makes it possible to determine the falling time of the hinged working units of agricultural machines with high accuracy.

Abstract We calculate the master integrals for bipartite cuts of the three-loop propagator QED diagrams. These master integrals determine the spectral density of the photon self energy. Our results are expressed in terms of the iterated integrals, which, apart from the 4m cut (the cut of 4 massive lines), reduce to Goncharov’s polylogarithms. The master integrals for 4m cut have been calculated in our previous paper in terms of the one-fold integrals of harmonic polylogarithms and complete elliptic integrals. We provide the threshold and high-energy asymptotics of the master integrals found, including those for 4m cut.

One of the most important applications of elliptic integrals in engineering mathematics is their usage to solve integrals of the form  (Eq. 1), where  is a rational algebraic function and  is a polynomial of degree  with no repeated roots. Nowadays, incomplete and complete elliptic integrals of first kind are estimated with high accuracy using advanced calculators.  In this paper, several techniques are discussed to show how definite integrals of the form (Eq. 1) can be converted to elliptic integrals of the first kind, and hence be estimated for optimal values. Indeed, related examples are provided in each step to help clarification.

We study the monotonicity for certain combinations of generalized elliptic integrals, thus generalizing analogous well-known results for classical complete elliptic integrals, and prove a conjecture put forward by Heikkala, Vamanamurthy and Vuorinen.

In this paper, we give new formulas for calculating the self-inductance for circular coils of the rectangular cross-sections with the radial and the azimuthal current densities. These formulas are given by the single integration of the elementary functions which are integrable on the interval of the integration. From these new expressions, we can obtain the special cases for the self-inductance of the thin-disk pancake and the thin-wall solenoids that confirm the validity of this approach. For the asymptotic cases, the new formula for the self-inductance of the thin-wall solenoid is obtained for the first time in the literature. In this paper, we do not use special functions such as the elliptical integrals of the first, second and third kind, nor Struve and Bessel functions because that is very tedious work. The results of this work are compared with already different known methods and all results are in excellent agreement. We consider this approach novel because of its simplicity in the self-inductance calculation of the previously-mentioned configurations.
