Definition

The principal branch of the complex inverse secant function is defined as:

$\forall z \in \C_{\ne 0}: \map \arcsec z := \dfrac 1 i \, \map \Ln {\dfrac {1 + \sqrt {1 - z^2} } z}$

where:

$\Ln$ denotes the principal branch of the complex natural logarithm
$\sqrt {1 - z^2}$ denotes the principal square root of $1 - z^2$.
