Definition

Extracted from the shipped row's source by AST (complete multi-line lambdas, phi triple (dh = phi3, g = phi3/(phi1 - i*phi2), a Weierstrass-representation identity)) and reproduced numerically against the shipped callables over the complex plane, exactly -- no scalar slack.

Sources

Weierstrass data reproduced numerically against the shipped implementation (math_art/minsurf/zoo.py, row TILT_SCHERK) by sampling g and dh over rings in the complex plane at the row's default parameters: g: matches over 144 complex samples (worst 5.24e-16); dh: matches over 144 complex samples (worst 0).
