In mathematics, theta functions are special functions of several complex variables. They appear in various topics, including Abelian varieties, moduli spaces, quadratic forms, and solitons. As Grassmann algebras, they appear in quantum field theory.

A few days back, I posted some #AnimatedGifs of the exact solution for a large-amplitude undamped, unforced #Pendulum. I then thought to complete the study to include the case when it has been fed enough #energy to allow it just to undergo #FullRotations, rather than just #oscillations. Well, it turns out that it is “a bit more complicated than I first expected” but I finally managed it.

@Perl One of the things I learned tonight is that the #specialfunctions and #statisticaldistributions library beating inside #rstats is available as a standalone version. While this speaks volumes of the portability of #clang, it also creates opportunities for transporting a significant chunk of R's functionalities into other languages, e.g. by writing swig interfaces. This may be an interesting #perl #pdl project

Power series for the cotangent and cosecant functions can be expressed rather compactly in terms of the Riemann zeta and Dirichlet eta functions:

\[ \displaystyle \cot z = -2 \sum_{k=0}^\infty \frac{ \zeta(2k) }{ \pi^{2k} } z^{2k-1} \hspace{5em}
\csc z = 2 \sum_{k=0}^\infty \frac{ \eta(2k) }{ \pi^{2k} } z^{2k-1} \]

Since I haven't seen these expressed quite this way before, I thought I'd share it. More information is available here:

Delay differential equations via the matrix Lambert W function and bifurcation analysis: application to machine tool chatter - PubMed

In a turning process modeled using delay differential equations (DDEs), we investigate the stability of the regenerative machine tool chatter problem. An approach using the matrix Lambert W function for the analytical solution to systems of delay differential equations is applied to this problem and …
