On the unimodality of the Taylor expansion coefficients of Jacobian elliptic functions

Abstract: The Jacobian elliptic functions are standard forms of elliptic functions, and they were independently introduced by C.G.J. Jacobi and N.H. Abel. In this paper, we study the unimodality of Taylor expansion coefficients of the Jacobian elliptic functions sn(u,k) and cn(u,k). By using the theory of gamma-positivity, we obtain that the Taylor expansion coefficients of sn(u,k) are symmetric and unimodal, and that of cn(u,k) are unimodal and alternatingly increasing.
