The derivation of algorithms to compute elliptic integrals of the first and second kind by Landen-transformation
This paper deals with elliptic integrals of first and second kind and their solution by Landen-transformation. It is explained how the Landen-transformation works and how the different algorithms can be used in geodetic problem solving. The algorithms are recursive and thus easy to implement and sta...
