A function f : ℂ → ℂ is L-periodic if f(z + ω) = f(z) for every z ∈ ℂ and
every lattice element ω ∈ L.
Instances For
Definition 14.8: an elliptic function for L is a meromorphic function on ℂ
that is L-periodic.
- meromorphic : Meromorphic f
- periodic : L.IsLatticePeriodic f
Instances For
Constant functions are L-periodic for any lattice L.
The order of a pole of f at z: n if f has a pole of order n at z,
and 0 if f is holomorphic or has a zero at z. Extracted from
meromorphicOrderAt by negating and clamping to ℕ.
Instances For
The set of poles of f lying in the fundamental parallelogram with corner α.
Instances For
The poles of an elliptic function in any fundamental parallelogram form a finite set, because they are a discrete subset of a bounded region (the closure of the parallelogram is compact).
Definition 14.9: the order of an elliptic function f for L, computed as the
sum of pole multiplicities in the fundamental parallelogram with corner 0.
Instances For
The order of an elliptic function is independent of the choice of fundamental parallelogram.
f is a nonzero elliptic function for L if it is elliptic and not identically
zero.
Instances For
The set of points in the fundamental parallelogram with corner α where f has
a nonzero ord (i.e., a zero or a pole).
Instances For
The zeros and poles of a nonzero elliptic function in any fundamental parallelogram form a finite set.
For a nonzero elliptic function f, the order ord_z(f) is finite (never ⊤).
The integer-valued order ord_z(f) ∈ ℤ for a nonzero elliptic function, extracted
by removing the ⊤ case.
Instances For
For any nonzero elliptic function and any corner α, there exists a piecewise
smooth boundary curve γ of (a perturbation of) the fundamental parallelogram such
that f is meromorphic on an enclosing open set Ω, the zeros/poles of f lie in
the interior of γ, and the sum of ord values matches the sum along the boundary.
This packages the data needed to apply the argument principle.
The contour integral of f'/f around the boundary γ of a fundamental
parallelogram vanishes, because periodic boundary identifications make opposite sides
cancel.
Theorem 14.18: for any nonzero elliptic function f, the number of zeros equals
the number of poles in any fundamental parallelogram (counted with multiplicity).
Equivalently, the sum of ord over zeros and poles is zero. Proof combines the
argument principle (Theorem 14.17) with vanishing of the boundary contour integral.
