Abstract

Consider a hyperelliptic integral I=P/(QS)dxI=\int P/(Q\sqrt{S}) dx, P,Q,SK[x]P,Q,S\in\mathbb{K}[x], with [K:Q]<[\mathbb{K}:\mathbb{Q}]<\infty. When SS is of degree 4\leq 4, such integral can be calculated in terms of elementary functions and elliptic integrals of three kinds F,E,Π\mathcal{F},\mathcal{E},\Pi. When SS is of higher degree, it is typically non elementary, but it is sometimes possible to obtain an expression of II using also elliptic integrals when the Jacobian of y2=S(x)y^2=S(x) has elliptic factors. We present an algorithm searching for elliptic factors and a modular criterion for their existence. Then, we present an algorithm for computing an expression of II using elliptic integrals, which always succeed in the completely decomposable Jacobian case.
