Definition:Area Hyperbolic Cosecant
Definition
Complex
The principal branch of the complex inverse hyperbolic cosecant function is defined as:
- $\forall z \in \C_{\ne 0}: \map \Arcsch z := \map \Ln {\dfrac {1 + \sqrt {z^2 + 1} } z}$
where:
- $\Ln$ denotes the principal branch of the complex natural logarithm
- $\sqrt {z^2 + 1}$ denotes the principal square root of $z^2 + 1$.
Real
The inverse hyperbolic cosecant $\arcsch: \R_{\ne 0} \to \R$ is a real function defined on the non-zero real numbers $\R_{\ne 0}$ as:
- $\forall x \in \R_{\ne 0}: \map \arcsch x := \map \ln {\dfrac 1 x + \dfrac {\sqrt {x^2 + 1} } {\size x} }$
where:
- $\sqrt {x^2 + 1}$ denotes the positive square root of $x^2 + 1$
- $\ln$ denotes the natural logarithm of a (strictly positive) real number.
