Li-Chien Shen developed a family of elliptic functions from the hypergeometric function $_2F_1(\frac{1}{3}, \frac{2}{3} ; \frac{1}{2} ; \bullet)$. We comment on this development, offering some new proofs.

We analyze the elliptic function ${\rm dn}_2$ introduced by Li-Chien Shen, contributing to the Ramanujan theory of elliptic functions in signature four.
We explore the relationships between two elliptic functions constructed by Shen in the signature four Ramanujan theory.
We analyze the elliptic function ${\rm dn}_3$ introduced by Li-Chien Shen, contributing to the Ramanujan theory of elliptic functions in signature three. A famous hypergeometric identity emerges from our analysis.
Within the Ramanujan theories of elliptic functions, Li-Chien Shen constructed natural elliptic functions in signature three and signature four. When applied in signature six, the same constructions produce non-elliptic functions that…
In these lecture notes I give an elementary introduction to elliptic hypergeometric functions. I focus on motivating the main ideas and constructions, rather than giving a comprehensive survey. The lectures include a brief explanation of…
The Weierstrassian $\wp, \zeta$ and $\sigma $ functions are generalized to ${\bf R}^{n}$. The $n=3$ and $n=4$ cases have already been used in gravitational and Yang-Mills instanton solutions which may be interpreted as explicit realizations…
We give a brief review of the main results of the theory of elliptic hypergeometric functions -- a new class of special functions of mathematical physics. We prove the most general univariate exact integration formula generalizing Euler's…
In this paper we are interested in developments of elliptic functions of Jacobi. In particular a trigonometric expansion of the classical theta functions introduced by the author (Algebraic methods and q-special functions, Editors: C.R.M.…
From the algebraic solution of $x^{n}-x+t=0$ for $n=2,3,4$ and the corresponding solution in terms of hypergeometric functions, we obtain a set of reduction formulas for hypergeometric functions. By differentiation and integration of these…
We present some recent progresses on Heun functions, gathering results from classical analysis up to elliptic functions. We describe Picard's generalization of Floquet's theory for differential equations with doubly periodic coefficients…
We consider multiply periodic functions, sometimes called Abelian functions, defined with respect to the period matrices associated with classes of algebraic curves. We realise them as generalisations of the Weierstras P-function using two…
We prove that the classical theta function $\theta_4$ may be expressed as $$ \theta_4(v,\tau) = \theta_4(0,\tau) \exp[- \sum_{p\geq 1} \sum_{k\geq 0} \frac {1}{p} \bigg(\frac {\sin \pi v}{(\sin (k+{1/2})\pi \tau)}\bigg)^{2p}].$$ We obtain…
Elliptic functions are largely studied and standardized mathematical objects. The two usual approaches are due to Jacobi and Weierstrass. From a contour integral which allowed us to unify many summation formulae (Euler-MacLaurin, Poisson,…
In 1989 H.Karcher rewrote the theory of elliptic functions through an approach that is much more geometrical than analytical. Therewith he obtained an optimal control over the behaviour and image values of these functions, which allowed for…
We develop the basic formulae of hyperspherical trigonometry in multidimensional Euclidean space, using multidimensional vector products, and their conversion to identities for elliptic functions. We show that the basic addition formulae…
