The sine substitution with an inverse square-root weight #
On the monotone branch of sine, substituting t = sin θ replaces dθ by
(1 - t²)^(-1/2) dt. The integral identity and its integrability equivalence include
both endpoints ±π/2; the resulting algebraic integrand can be singular at ±1.
These formulas turn trigonometric elliptic integrals into algebraic integrals.
The integral identity adapts B. Braams' Carlson.integral_legendre_eq in
lean-codes/Carlson/Elliptic/Standard.lean (Apache-2.0), allowing either orientation
and arbitrary endpoints in the monotone branch. Integrability uses the same substitution.
The substitution t = sin θ, including the singular endpoints of the inverse
square-root weight. No integrability hypothesis is needed for this identity of total integrals.
Integrability under the sine substitution. The equivalence includes the endpoints
t = ±1, where the inverse square-root weight is singular.
