Modulus derivative of the incomplete elliptic integral of the second kind

ID: modulus-derivative-of-the-incomplete-elliptic-integral-of-the-second-kind

For real , define and . Smoothness of the integrands permits differentiation under the integral sign. Subtracting the two integrands gives , which is . This proves the displayed identity for . At , both sides extend continuously with value zero. The variable is the modulus; derivatives with respect to the parameter instead obey , with removable value at zero.
