Abstract

In a series of papers, B. C. Carlson produced tables of elliptic integrals, evaluating them in terms of easily computed symmetrical functions, using a group of multivariate recurrence relations. These relations are, however, cumbersome to use by hand and, in the absence of a specific reductive algorithm, difficult to use with computer algebra. This paper presents such an algorithm, guaranteed to reduce a general elliptic integral to a set of fundamental ones.
