Weierstrass’ elliptic functions; addition theorem
Summary:
A dual transformation is discussed, by which a concurrent chart represented by one equation is transformed into an alignment chart or into a tangential contact chart. Using this transformation an alignment chart where three scales coincide and a tangential contact chart consisting of a family of circles, which represent the relation $u+v+w=0$, are constructed. In this case, a form of the addition-theorem for Weierstrass' function involving no derivative is used.
