An abelian or hyperelliptic function is a generalisation of an elliptic function. It is a function of two variables with four periods. In a similar way to an elliptic function it can also be regarded as the inverse function to certain integrals (called Abelian or hyperelliptic integrals) of the form [integral of] dz/[square root of] R(z) where R is a polynomial of degree greater than 4)
