In mathematics, and in particular the study of Weierstrass elliptic functions, the equianharmonic case occurs when the Weierstrass invariants satisfy g₂ = 0 and g₃ = 1; This page follows the terminology of Abramowitz and Stegun; see also the lemniscatic case. (These are special examples of complex multiplication).

In the equianharmonic case, the minimal half period ω₂ is real and equal to

where Γ is the Gamma function. The half period is

Here the period lattice is a real multiple of the Eisenstein integers.

The constants e₁, e₂ and e₃ are given by
