namespace boost { namespace math { template <class T1, class T2> calculated-result-type heuman_lambda(T1 k, T2 phi); template <class T1, class T2, class Policy> calculated-result-type heuman_lambda(T1 k, T2 phi, const Policy&); }} // namespaces
This function evaluates the Heuman Lambda Function Λ0(φ, k)
The return type of this function is computed using the __arg_pomotion_rules when the arguments are of different types: when they are the same type then the result is the same type as the arguments.
Requires -1 <= k <= 1, otherwise returns the result of domain_error (outside this range the result would be complex).
The final Policy argument is optional and can be used to control the behaviour of the function: how it handles errors, what level of precision to use etc. Refer to the policy documentation for more details.
Note that there is no complete analogue of this function (where φ = π / 2) as this takes the value 1 for all k.
These functions are trivially computed in terms of other elliptic integrals and generally have very low error rates (a few epsilon) unless parameter φ is very large, in which case the usual trigonometric function argument-reduction issues apply.

The tests use a mixture of spot test values calculated using values calculated at wolframalpha.com, and random test data generated using MPFR at 1000-bit precision and a deliberately naive implementation in terms of the Legendre integrals.
The function is then implemented in terms of Carlson's integrals RJ and RF using the relation:
This relation fails for |φ| >= π/2 in which case the definition in terms of the Jacobi Zeta is used.
