Algebraic relations between lemniscatic elliptic function addition formulae

103 Views Asked by At

The question is in regards to the two lemniscatic elliptic functions, often called the 'sine lemniscate' and 'cosine lemniscate' functions. I have been trying to prove the following identity:

\begin{align} \frac{sl(x) sl'(y) + sl'(x) sl(y)}{1 + sl(x)^2 sl(y)^2} \end{align}

as equal to: \begin{align} \frac{sl(x) cl(y) + sl(y) cl(x)}{1 - sl(x)cl(y)sl(y)cl(x)} \end{align}

I have had no success. I've attempted using the following relations:

$$ (1+sl(x))(1+cl(x)) = 2 $$ $$ sl(x)^2 + cl(x)^2 + sl(x)^2cl(x)^2 = 1 $$ $$ sl(x) = \sqrt{\frac{1 - cl(x)^2}{1 + cl(x)^2}} $$ $$ sl(\frac{\varpi}{2} - x) = cl(x) $$ and while I've managed to mix things up nicely, I've not successfully gone from one identity to the other.

This has been vexing me for a bit. Can anyone please help?
