Definition:Inverse Hyperbolic Cotangent/Complex/Definition 1

Definition
Let $S$ be the subset of the complex plane:
 * $S = \C \setminus \set {-1 + 0 i, 1 + 0 i}$

The inverse hyperbolic cotangent is a multifunction defined on $S$ as:


 * $\forall z \in S: \map {\coth^{-1} } z := \set {w \in \C: z = \map \coth w}$

where $\map \coth w$ is the hyperbolic cotangent function.
