Abstract

We consider the differential equations s=c5s' = c^5 and c=s5c' = - s^5 with initial conditions s(0)=0s(0) = 0 and c(0)=1c(0) = 1. We show that s2c2s^2 c^2 extends to the reciprocal of the Weierstrass elliptic function with invariants g2=0g_2 = 0 and g3=16g_3 = 16. We also show that powers of s2c2s^2 c^2 are the only functions of the form smcns^m c^n that extend meromorphically in the plane.
