= Dixon elliptic functions
{wiki=Dixon_elliptic_functions}
Dixon elliptic functions are a set of functions that arise in the theory of elliptic functions, which are complex functions that are periodic in two different directions. Specifically, Dixon elliptic functions are a generalization of the classical elliptic functions and are studied primarily in the context of algebraic functions and complex analysis. Named after the mathematician Alfred William Dixon, these functions have particular properties that make them useful in various branches of mathematics, including number theory, algebraic geometry, and mathematical physics.
