English translation of Frobenius' and Stickelberger's "On the theory of elliptic functions"

Abstract

This is an English translation and digitisation of Frobenius' and Stickelberger's "On the theory of elliptic functions" first published in Journal fur die reine und angewandte Mathematik (Crelle's journal), 83, 175-179 (1877) with the title "Zur Theorie der elliptischen Functionen". The paper derives what is now known as the Frobenius and Stickelberger determinant formula for elliptic functions and generalises determinants derived by Hermite and Kiepert.
