Abstract

I prove an identity between the first kind and the third kind complete elliptic integrals with the following form: Π((1+x)(13x)(1x)(1+3x),(1+x)3(13x)(1x)3(1+3x))1+3x6xK((1+x)3(13x)(1x)3(1+3x))=0,(0<x<1);=π12(x1)3/21+3xx(x<0orx>1).\Pi({(1+x) (1-3 x)\over (1-x) (1+3 x)}, {(1+x)^3(1-3 x)\over (1-x)^3 (1+3x)})- {1+ 3 x \over 6 x} K ({(1+x)^3(1-3x)\over (1-x)^3 (1+3x)}) = 0, (0< x < 1); =-{\pi\over 12} {(x-1)^{3/2}\sqrt{1+3 x}\over x} (x<0 or x>1). This relation can be applied to eliminate the complete elliptic integral of the third kind from the analytic solutions of the imaginary part of two-loop sunset diagrams in the equal mass case. The validity of this relation in the complex domain is also briefly discussed.
