Triangle read by rows ( see examples ). The phase space trajectory of a simple pendulum can be written as (q,p) = (R(Q)cos(Q),R(Q)sin(Q)), with scaled, canonical coordinates q and p. The present triangle and A273507 determine a power / Fourier series of R(Q): R(Q) = sqrt(4 *k) * (1 + sum k^n * (A273506(n,m)/A273507(n,m)) * cos(Q)^(2(n+m)) ); where the sum runs over n = 1,2,3 ... and m = 1,2,3...n. The period of an oscillator can be computed by T(k) = dA/dE, where A is the phase area enclosed by the phase space trajectory of conserved, total energy E. As we choose expansion parameter "k" proportional to E, the series expansion of the complete elliptic integral of the first kind follows from T(k) with very little technical difficulty ( see examples and Mathematica function R2ToEllK ).

Triangle read by rows ( see examples ). The denominators are given in A274078.

The rational triangle A273506 / A273507 gives the coefficients for an exact solution of the plane pendulum's phase space trajectory. Differential time dependence for this solution also adheres to the simple form of a triangular summation: dt = dQ(-1+ sum k^n * (T(n, m)/A274078(n, m)) * cos(Q)^(2(n+m)) ); where the sum runs over n = 1,2,3 ... and m = 1,2,3...n. Expanding powers of cosine ( Cf. A273496 ) it is relatively easy to integrate dt ( cf. A274130 ). One period of motion takes Q through the range [ 0 , -2 pi]. Integrating dt over this domain gives another (Cf. A273506) calculation of the series expansion for Elliptic K ( see examples and Mathematica function dtToEllK ).

The triangles A274076 and A274078 give the coefficients for the exact, differential time dependence of the plane pendulum's equations of motion. Integrating, we obtain time dependence as a Fourier sine series: t = -( (2/pi)K(k) Q + sum k^n * (T(n,m)/A274131(n,m)) * sin(2 m Q) ); where the sum runs over n = 1,2,3 ... and m = 1,2,3,...,2 n. Combining the phase space trajectory and time dependence, it is possible to express Jacobian elliptic functions {cn,dn} in parametric form.
