Yes, I think that more extensive documentation is good idea. In addition to giving definitions for the elliptic functions, I think it would be helpful to mention the functions ellint_Kcomp and ellint_Ecomp in ellipke's documentation (but perhaps not vice-versa.) > I have no problem doing a ellipke wrapper; but I am very reluctant > to arbitrarily change working (more or less) code without agreement > of several other people. Perhaps we should wait a few days to see if anyone else comments on this thread. Comparing the actual algorithms used by ellipke and the GSL might also be worthwhile. ellipke apparently uses the algorithm in Sec. 17.6 of Abramowitz and Stegun [1] while GSL uses the algorithm in DOI: 10.1007/BF01396491. I haven't compared these algorithms.
