%N Pi(3): fundamental real period of the Dixonian elliptic functions sm(z) and cm(z).

%C Pi(3) = 5.29991 62508 56349 87194 ... is the real period of the doubly-periodic Dixonian elliptic functions sm(z) (A104133) and cm(z) (A104134): sm(z+Pi(3)) = sm(z); cm(z+Pi(3)) = cm(z). The other period equals Pi(3)*w, where w = exp(2*I*Pi/3).
