    Here, we have performed fits of the pseudoscalar masses and decay constants, from a variety of the RBC-UKQCD Collaboration’s domain wall fermion ensembles, to SU(2) partially quenched chiral perturbation theory at next-to-leading order (NLO) and next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO). We report values for 9 NLO and 8 linearly independent combinations of NNLO partially quenched low-energy constants, which we compare to other lattice and phenomenological determinations. We discuss the size of successive terms in the chiral expansion and use our large set of low-energy constants to make predictions for mass splittings due to QCD isospin-breaking effects and the S-wave ππ scattering lengths. Lastly, we conclude that, for the range of pseudoscalar masses explored in this work, 115 MeV≲mPS≲430 MeV, the NNLO SU(2) expansion is quite robust and can fit lattice data with percent-scale accuracy.
