In mathematics, the Jacobi zeta function Z(u) is the logarithmic derivative of the Jacobi theta function Θ(u). It is also commonly denoted as zn ( u , k ) {\displaystyle \operatorname {zn} (u,k)} 1

Θ ( u ) = Θ 4 ( π u 2 K ) {\displaystyle \Theta (u)=\Theta _{4}\left({\frac {\pi u}{2K}}\right)}
Z ( u ) = u ln Θ ( u ) {\displaystyle Z(u)={\frac {\partial }{\partial u}}\ln \Theta (u)} = Θ ( u ) Θ ( u ) {\displaystyle ={\frac {\Theta '(u)}{\Theta (u)}}} 2
Z ( ϕ | m ) = E ( ϕ | m ) E ( m ) K ( m ) F ( ϕ | m ) {\displaystyle Z(\phi |m)=E(\phi |m)-{\frac {E(m)}{K(m)}}F(\phi |m)} 3
Where E, K, and F are generic Incomplete Elliptical Integrals of the first and second kind. Jacobi Zeta Functions being kinds of Jacobi theta functions have applications to all their relevant fields and application.
zn ( u , k ) = Z ( u ) = 0 u dn 2 v E K d v {\displaystyle \operatorname {zn} (u,k)=Z(u)=\int _{0}^{u}\operatorname {dn} ^{2}v-{\frac {E}{K}}dv} 1
This relates Jacobi's common notation of, dn u = 1 m sin θ 2 {\displaystyle \operatorname {dn} {u}={\sqrt {1-m\sin {\theta }^{2}}}} , sn u = sin θ {\displaystyle \operatorname {sn} u=\sin {\theta }} , cn u = cos θ {\displaystyle \operatorname {cn} u=\cos {\theta }} .1 to Jacobi's Zeta function.
Some additional relations include ,
