On $q$-analogues Arising from Elliptic Integrals and the Arithmetic-Geometric Mean

Combinatorics 2019-06-26 v1

Abstract

We prove qq-analogues of identities that are equivalent to the functional equation of the arithmetic-geometric mean. We also present qq-analogues of F(k,π2)F(\sqrt{k},\frac{\pi}{2}), the complete elliptical integral of the first kind, and its derivatives evaluated at k=12k=\frac{1}{2}. These qq-analogues interpolate those nnth derivative evaluations by extending nn to a complex variable ss, and we prove that they can be expressed as an infinite product.
