| In [[mathematics]], '''hyperbolic functions''' are analogs of the ordinary [[trigonometric function|trigonometric]], or circular, functions. The basic hyperbolic functions are the '''hyperbolic sine''' "sinh" ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|s|ɪ|n|tʃ}} or {{IPAc-en|ˈ|ʃ|aɪ|n}}), and the '''hyperbolic cosine''' "cosh" {{IPAc-en|ˈ|k|ɒ|ʃ}}, from which are derived the '''hyperbolic tangent''' "tanh" ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|t|æ|n|tʃ}} or {{IPAc-en|ˈ|θ|æ|n}}), '''hyperbolic cosecant''' "csch" or "cosech" {{IPAc-en|ˈ|k|oʊ|ʃ|æ|k}}, '''hyperbolic secant''' "sech" {{IPAc-en|ˈ|ʃ|æ|k}}, and '''hyperbolic cotangent''' "coth" {{IPAc-en|ˈ|k|oʊ|θ}},<ref>[http://www.mathcentre.ac.uk/resources/workbooks/mathcentre/hyperbolicfunctions.pdf tanh]</ref> corresponding to the derived trigonometric functions. The [[inverse hyperbolic function]]s are the '''area hyperbolic sine''' "arsinh" (also called "asinh" or sometimes "arcsinh")<ref>[http://www.google.com/books?q=arcsinh+-library Some examples of using '''arcsinh'''] found in [[Google Books]].</ref> and so on.

| Just as the points (cos ''t'', sin ''t'') form a circle with a unit radius, the points (cosh ''t'', sinh ''t'') form the right half of the equilateral [[hyperbola]]. Hyperbolic functions occur in the solutions of some important linear [[differential equation]]s, for example the equation defining a [[catenary]], of some [[Cubic function#Trigonometric (and hyperbolic) method|cubic equations]], and of [[Laplace's equation]] in [[Cartesian coordinates]]. The latter is important in many areas of [[physics]], including [[electromagnetic theory]], [[heat transfer]], [[fluid dynamics]], and [[special relativity]].

| The hyperbolic functions take real values for a real argument called a [[hyperbolic angle]].
| |
| The size of a hyperbolic angle is the area of its [[hyperbolic sector]]. The hyperbolic functions may be defined in terms of the [[hyperbolic sector#Hyperbolic triangle|legs of a right triangle]] covering this sector.
| |
| | |
| In [[complex analysis]], the hyperbolic functions arise as the imaginary parts of sine and cosine. When considered defined by a complex variable, the hyperbolic functions are [[rational function]]s of [[exponential function|exponentials]], and are hence [[meromorphic function|meromorphic]].
| |
| | |
| Hyperbolic functions were introduced in the 1760s independently by [[Vincenzo Riccati]] and [[Johann Heinrich Lambert]].<ref>Robert E. Bradley, Lawrence A. D'Antonio, Charles Edward Sandifer. ''Euler at 300: an appreciation.'' Mathematical Association of America, 2007. Page 100.</ref> Riccati used ''Sc.'' and ''Cc.'' (''[co]sinus circulare'') to refer to circular functions and ''Sh.'' and ''Ch.'' (''[co]sinus hyperbolico'') to refer to hyperbolic functions. Lambert adopted the names but altered the abbreviations to what they are today.<ref>Georg F. Becker. ''Hyperbolic functions.'' Read Books, 1931. Page xlviii.</ref> The abbreviations ''sh'' and ''ch'' are still used in some other languages, like European French and Russian.

| The hyperbolic functions are:
| |
| | |
| * Hyperbolic sine:
| |
| ::<math>\sinh x = \frac {e^x - e^{-x}} {2} = \frac {e^{2x} - 1} {2e^x} = \frac {1 - e^{-2x}} {2e^{-x}}</math>
| |
| | |
| * Hyperbolic cosine:
| |
| ::<math>\cosh x = \frac {e^x + e^{-x}} {2} = \frac {e^{2x} + 1} {2e^x} = \frac {1 + e^{-2x}} {2e^{-x}}</math>
| |
| | |
| * Hyperbolic tangent:
| |
| ::<math>\tanh x = \frac{\sinh x}{\cosh x} = \frac {e^x - e^{-x}} {e^x + e^{-x}} = \frac{e^{2x} - 1} {e^{2x} + 1} = \frac{1 - e^{-2x}} {1 + e^{-2x}}</math>
| |
| | |
| * Hyperbolic cotangent:
| |
| ::<math>\coth x = \frac{\cosh x}{\sinh x} = \frac {e^x + e^{-x}} {e^x - e^{-x}} = \frac{e^{2x} + 1} {e^{2x} - 1} = \frac{1 + e^{-2x}} {1 - e^{-2x}}</math>

| |
| | |
| The [[complex number|complex]] forms in the definitions above derive from [[Euler's formula]].
| |
| | |
| ==Useful relations==
| |
| Odd and even functions:
| |
| :<math>\begin{align}
| |
| \sinh (-x) &= -\sinh x \\
| |
| \cosh (-x) &= \cosh x
| |
| \end{align}</math>
| |
| | |
| Hence:
| |
| :<math>\begin{align}
| |
| \tanh (-x) &= -\tanh x \\
| |
| \coth (-x) &= -\coth x \\
| |
| \operatorname{sech} (-x) &= \operatorname{sech} x \\
| |
| \operatorname{csch} (-x) &= -\operatorname{csch} x
| |
| \end{align}</math>
| |
| | |
| It can be seen that cosh ''x'' and sech ''x'' are [[even function]]s; the others are [[odd functions]].
| |
| | |
| :<math>\begin{align}
| |
| \operatorname{arsech} x &= \operatorname{arcosh} \frac{1}{x} \\
| |
| \operatorname{arcsch} x &= \operatorname{arsinh} \frac{1}{x} \\
| |
| \operatorname{arcoth} x &= \operatorname{artanh} \frac{1}{x}
| |
| \end{align}</math>
| |
| | |
| Hyperbolic sine and cosine satisfy the identity
| |
| :<math>\cosh^2 x - \sinh^2 x = 1\,</math>
| |
| | |
| which is similar to the [[Pythagorean trigonometric identity]]. One also has
| |
| :<math>\begin{align}
| |
| \operatorname{sech} ^{2} x &= 1 - \tanh^{2} x \\
| |
| \operatorname{csch} ^{2} x &= \coth^{2} x - 1
| |
| \end{align}</math>
| |
| | |
| for the other functions.

| |
| | |
| ==Taylor series expressions==
| |
| It is possible to express the above functions as [[Taylor series]]:
| |
| | |
| :<math>\sinh x = x + \frac {x^3} {3!} + \frac {x^5} {5!} + \frac {x^7} {7!} +\cdots = \sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{x^{2n+1}}{(2n+1)!}</math>
| |
| The function sinh ''x'' has a Taylor series expression with only odd exponents for ''x''. Thus it is an [[odd function]], that is, −sinh ''x'' = sinh(−''x''), and sinh 0 = 0.
| |
| | |
| :<math>\cosh x = 1 + \frac {x^2} {2!} + \frac {x^4} {4!} + \frac {x^6} {6!} + \cdots = \sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{x^{2n}}{(2n)!}</math>
| |
| | |
| The function cosh ''x'' has a Taylor series expression with only even exponents for ''x''. Thus it is an [[even function]], that is, symmetric with respect to the ''y''-axis. The sum of the sinh and cosh series is the [[infinite series]] expression of the [[exponential function]].
| |
| | |
| :<math>\begin{align}
| |
| | |
| \tanh x &= x - \frac {x^3} {3} + \frac {2x^5} {15} - \frac {17x^7} {315} + \cdots = \sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{2^{2n}(2^{2n}-1)B_{2n} x^{2n-1}}{(2n)!}, \left |x \right | < \frac {\pi} {2} \\
| |
| | |
| \coth x &= x^{-1} + \frac {x} {3} - \frac {x^3} {45} + \frac {2x^5} {945} + \cdots = x^{-1} + \sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{2^{2n} B_{2n} x^{2n-1}} {(2n)!}, 0 < \left |x \right | < \pi \\
| |
| | |
| \operatorname {sech}\, x &= 1 - \frac {x^2} {2} + \frac {5x^4} {24} - \frac {61x^6} {720} + \cdots = \sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{E_{2 n} x^{2n}}{(2n)!} , \left |x \right | < \frac {\pi} {2} \\
| |
| | |
| \operatorname {csch}\, x &= x^{-1} - \frac {x} {6} +\frac {7x^3} {360} -\frac {31x^5} {15120} + \cdots = x^{-1} + \sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{ 2 (1-2^{2n-1}) B_{2n} x^{2n-1}}{(2n)!} , 0 < \left |x \right | < \pi

| ==Comparison with circular functions==
| |
| | |
| [[File:Circular and hyperbolic angle.svg|right|250px|thumb|Circle and hyperbola tangent at (1,1) display geometry of circular functions in terms of [[sector of a circle|circular sector]] area ''u'' and hyperbolic functions depending on [[hyperbolic sector]] area ''u''.]]
| |
| The hyperbolic functions represent an expansion of [[trigonometry]] beyond the [[circular function]]s. Both types depend on an [[argument of a function|argument]], either [[angle|circular angle]] or [[hyperbolic angle]].
| |
| | |
| Since the [[circular sector#Area|area of a circular sector]] is <math>\frac {r^2 u} {2} ,</math> it will be equal to ''u'' when ''r'' = [[square root of 2]]. In the diagram such a circle is tangent to the hyperbola ''x y'' = 1 at (1,1). The yellow sector depicts an area and angle magnitude. Similarly, the red augmentation depicts an area and magnitude as hyperbolic angle.
| |
| | |
| The legs of the two [[right triangle]]s with hypotenuse on the ray defining the angles are of length √2 times the circular and hyperbolic functions.
| |
| | |
| ==Identities==
| |
| The hyperbolic functions satisfy many identities, all of them similar in form to the [[trigonometric identity|trigonometric identities]]. In fact, '''Osborn's rule'''<ref>G. Osborn, [http://links.jstor.org/sici?sici=0025-5572(190207)2%3A2%3A34%3C189%3A1MFHF%3E2.0.CO%3B2-Z Mnemonic for hyperbolic formulae], The Mathematical Gazette, p. 189, volume 2, issue 34, July 1902</ref> states that one can convert any trigonometric identity into a hyperbolic identity by expanding it completely in terms of integral powers of sines and cosines, changing sine to sinh and cosine to cosh, and switching the sign of every term which contains a product of 2, 6, 10, 14, ... sinhs. This yields for example the addition theorems
| |
| :<math>\begin{align}
| |
| \sinh(x + y) &= \sinh (x) \cosh (y) + \cosh (x) \sinh (y) \\
| |
| \cosh(x + y) &= \cosh (x) \cosh (y) + \sinh (x) \sinh (y) \\

| |
| \tanh 2x &= \frac{2\tanh x}{1 + \tanh^2 x}

| |
| | |
| The [[derivative]] of sinh ''x'' is cosh ''x'' and the derivative of cosh ''x'' is sinh ''x''; this is similar to trigonometric functions, albeit the sign is different (i.e., the derivative of cos ''x'' is −sin ''x'').
| |
| | |
| The [[Gudermannian function]] gives a direct relationship between the circular functions and the hyperbolic ones that does not involve complex numbers.
| |
| | |
| The graph of the function ''a'' cosh(''x''/''a'') is the [[catenary]], the curve formed by a uniform flexible chain hanging freely between two fixed points under uniform gravity.
| |
| | |
| ==Relationship to the exponential function==
| |
| From the definitions of the hyperbolic sine and cosine, we can derive the following identities:
| |
| | |
| :<math>e^x = \cosh x + \sinh x</math>
| |
| | |
| and
| |
| | |
| :<math>e^{-x} = \cosh x - \sinh x</math>
| |
| | |
| These expressions are analogous to the expressions for sine and cosine, based on [[Euler's formula]], as sums of complex exponentials.

| Since the [[exponential function]] can be defined for any [[complex number|complex]] argument, we can extend the definitions of the hyperbolic functions also to complex arguments. The functions sinh ''z'' and cosh ''z'' are then [[holomorphic]].
| |
| | |
| Relationships to ordinary trigonometric functions are given by [[Euler's formula]] for complex numbers:
| |
| | |
| :<math>\begin{align}
| |
| e^{i x} &= \cos x + i \;\sin x \\
| |
| e^{-i x} &= \cos x - i \;\sin x
| |
| \end{align}</math>
| |
| | |
| so:
| |
| | |
| :<math>\begin{align}
| |
| \cosh ix &= \frac{1}{2} \left(e^{i x} + e^{-i x}\right) = \cos x \\
| |
| \sinh ix &= \frac{1}{2} \left(e^{i x} - e^{-i x}\right) = i \sin x \\
| |
| \cosh(x+iy) &= \cosh(x) \cos(y) + i \sinh(x) \sin(y) \\
| |
| \sinh(x+iy) &= \sinh(x) \cos(y) + i \cosh(x) \sin(y) \\
| |
| \tanh ix &= i \tan x \\
| |
| \cosh x &= \cos ix \\
| |
| \sinh x &= - i \sin ix \\
| |
| \tanh x &= - i \tan ix
| |
| \end{align}</math>
| |
| | |
| Thus, hyperbolic functions are [[periodic function|periodic]] with respect to the imaginary component, with period <math>2 \pi i</math> (<math>\pi i</math> for hyperbolic tangent and cotangent).
