= Elliptic function
{wiki=Elliptic_function}
Elliptic functions are a special class of complex functions that are periodic in two directions. They can be thought of as generalizations of trigonometric functions (which are periodic in one direction) to a two-dimensional lattice. Specifically, an elliptic function is a meromorphic function \\( f \\) defined on the complex plane that is periodic with respect to two non-collinear periods \\( \\omega_1 \\) and \\( \\omega_2 \\).
