§19.26(i) General Formulas

In this subsection, and also §§19.26(ii) and 19.26(iii), we assume that λ,x,y,z are positive, except that at most one of x,y,z can be 0.

19.26.1 RF(x+λ,y+λ,z+λ)+RF(x+μ,y+μ,z+μ)=RF(x,y,z),

where μ>0 and

19.26.2 x+μ=λ-2((x+λ)yz+x(y+λ)(z+λ))2,

with corresponding equations for y+μ and z+μ obtained by permuting x,y,z. Also,

19.26.3 z=ξζ+ηζ-ξηξηζ+ξηζ,

where

19.26.4 (ξ,η,ζ) =(x+λ,y+λ,z+λ),
(ξ,η,ζ) =(x+μ,y+μ,z+μ),

with x and y obtained by permuting x, y, and z. (Note that ξζ+ηζ-ξη=ξζ+ηζ-ξη.) Equivalent forms of (19.26.2) are given by

19.26.5 μ=λ-2(xyz+(x+λ)(y+λ)(z+λ))2-λ-x-y-z,

and

19.26.6 (λμ-xy-xz-yz)2=4xyz(λ+μ+x+y+z).

Also,

19.26.7 RD(x+λ,y+λ,z+λ)+RD(x+μ,y+μ,z+μ)=RD(x,y,z)-3z(z+λ)(z+μ),
19.26.8 2RG(x+λ,y+λ,z+λ)+2RG(x+μ,y+μ,z+μ)=2RG(x,y,z)+λRF(x+λ,y+λ,z+λ)+μRF(x+μ,y+μ,z+μ)+λ+μ+x+y+z.
19.26.9 RJ(x+λ,y+λ,z+λ,p+λ)+RJ(x+μ,y+μ,z+μ,p+μ)=RJ(x,y,z,p)-3RC(γ-δ,γ),

where

19.26.10 γ =p(p+λ)(p+μ),
δ =(p-x)(p-y)(p-z).

Lastly,

19.26.11 RC(x+λ,y+λ)+RC(x+μ,y+μ)=RC(x,y),

where λ>0, y>0, x0, and

19.26.12 x+μ =λ-2(x+λy+x(y+λ))2,
y+μ =(y(y+λ)/λ2)(x+x+λ)2.

Equivalent forms of (19.26.11) are given by

19.26.13 RC(α2,α2-θ)+RC(β2,β2-θ)=RC(σ2,σ2-θ),
σ=(αβ+θ)/(α+β),

where 0<γ2-θ<γ2 for γ=α,β,σ, except that σ2-θ can be 0, and

19.26.14 (p-y)RC(x,p)+(q-y)RC(x,q)=(η-ξ)RC(ξ,η),
x0, y0; p,q{0},

where

19.26.15 (p-x)(q-x) =(y-x)2,
ξ =y2/x,
η =pq/x,
η-ξ =p+q-2y.

§19.26(ii) Case x=0

If x=0, then λμ=yz. For example,

19.26.16 RF(λ,y+λ,z+λ)=RF(0,y,z)-RF(μ,y+μ,z+μ),
λμ=yz.

An equivalent version for RC is

19.26.17 αRC(β,α+β)+βRC(α,α+β)=π/2,
α,β(-,0), α+β>0.

§19.26(iii) Duplication Formulas

19.26.18 RF(x,y,z)=2RF(x+λ,y+λ,z+λ)=RF(x+λ4,y+λ4,z+λ4),

where

19.26.19 λ=xy+yz+zx.
19.26.20 RD(x,y,z)=2RD(x+λ,y+λ,z+λ)+3z(z+λ).
19.26.21 2RG(x,y,z)=4RG(x+λ,y+λ,z+λ)-λRF(x,y,z)-x-y-z.
19.26.22 RJ(x,y,z,p)=2RJ(x+λ,y+λ,z+λ,p+λ)+3RC(α2,β2),

where

19.26.23 α =p(x+y+z)+xyz,
β =p(p+λ),
β±α =(p±x)(p±y)(p±z),
β2-α2 =(p-x)(p-y)(p-z),

either upper or lower signs being taken throughout.

The equations inverse to z+λ=(z+x)(z+y) and the two other equations obtained by permuting x,y,z (see (19.26.19)) are

19.26.24 z=(ξζ+ηζ-ξη)2/(4ξηζ),
(ξ,η,ζ)=(x+λ,y+λ,z+λ),

and two similar equations obtained by exchanging z with x (and ζ with ξ), or z with y (and ζ with η).

Next,

19.26.25 RC(x,y)=2RC(x+λ,y+λ),
λ=y+2xy.

Equivalent forms are given by (19.22.22). Also,

19.26.26 RC(x2,y2)=RC(a2,ay),
a=(x+y)/2, x0, y>0,

and

19.26.27 RC(x2,x2-θ)=2RC(s2,s2-θ),
s=x+x2-θ, θx2 or s2.
