A unified presentation of certain families of elliptic-type integrals related to radiation field problems

Motivated by their importance or potential for application in certain problems in radiation physics, several interesting families of elliptic-type integrals were recently studied by many authors. The object of this paper is to present a systematic account of these families in a unified and generalized form which itself is potentially useful in various radiation field problems. Some relevant connections of the general theory developed here with the results obtained earlier are also pointed out. (author)
