Definition

Let denote a lattice in . The Weierstrass p-function corresponding to , denoted , is a doubly periodic function with period lattice , defined as:

It turns out that all even -periodic functions are rational functions in , and all periodic functions in can be expressed in the form where are rational functions in .
