=== Addition theorems === The functions satisfy the two square relations (dependence on ''m'' suppressed) <math display="block">\operatorname{cn}^2(u) + \operatorname{sn}^2(u) = 1,\,</math> <math display="block">\operatorname{dn}^2(u) + m \operatorname{sn}^2(u) = 1.\,</math> From this we see that (cn, sn, dn) parametrizes an [[elliptic curve]] which is the intersection of the two [[quadric]]s defined by the above two equations. We now may define a group law for points on this curve by the addition formulas for the Jacobi functions<ref name="DLMF22" /> <math display="block"> \begin{align} \operatorname{cn}(x+y) & = {\operatorname{cn}(x) \operatorname{cn}(y) - \operatorname{sn}(x) \operatorname{sn}(y) \operatorname{dn}(x) \operatorname{dn}(y) \over {1 - m \operatorname{sn}^2 (x) \operatorname{sn}^2 (y)}}, \\[8pt] \operatorname{sn}(x+y) & = {\operatorname{sn}(x) \operatorname{cn}(y) \operatorname{dn}(y) + \operatorname{sn}(y) \operatorname{cn}(x) \operatorname{dn}(x) \over {1 - m \operatorname{sn}^2 (x) \operatorname{sn}^2 (y)}}, \\[8pt] \operatorname{dn}(x+y) & = {\operatorname{dn}(x) \operatorname{dn}(y) - m \operatorname{sn}(x) \operatorname{sn}(y) \operatorname{cn}(x) \operatorname{cn}(y) \over {1 - m \operatorname{sn}^2 (x) \operatorname{sn}^2 (y)}}. \end{align} </math> The Jacobi epsilon and zn functions satisfy a quasi-addition theorem: <math display="block">\begin{align}\mathcal{E}(x+y,m)&=\mathcal{E}(x,m)+\mathcal{E}(y,m)-m\operatorname{sn}(x,m)\operatorname{sn}(y,m)\operatorname{sn}(x+y,m),\\ \operatorname{zn}(x+y,m)&=\operatorname{zn}(x,m)+\operatorname{zn}(y,m)-m\operatorname{sn}(x,m)\operatorname{sn}(y,m)\operatorname{sn}(x+y,m).\end{align}</math> Double angle formulae can be easily derived from the above equations by setting ''x'' = ''y''.<ref name="DLMF22" /> Half angle formulae<ref name="WolframJE" /><ref name="DLMF22" /> are all of the form: <math display="block">\operatorname{pq}(\tfrac{1}{2}u,m)^2 = f_{\mathrm p}/f_{\mathrm q}</math> where: <math display="block">f_{\mathrm c} = \operatorname{cn}(u,m)+\operatorname{dn}(u,m)</math> <math display="block">f_{\mathrm s} = 1-\operatorname{cn}(u,m)</math> <math display="block">f_{\mathrm n} = 1+\operatorname{dn}(u,m)</math> <math display="block">f_{\mathrm d} = (1+\operatorname{dn}(u,m))-m(1-\operatorname{cn}(u,m))</math>
