In [[mathematics]], the '''hyperbolic functions''' are analogs of the ordinary [[trigonometric function|trigonometric]], or circular, functions.

In [[mathematics]], '''hyperbolic functions''' are analogues of the ordinary [[trigonometric function]]s, but defined using the [[hyperbola]] rather than the [[circle]]. Just as the points {{math|(cos ''t'', sin ''t'')}} form a [[unit circle|circle with a unit radius]], the points {{math|(cosh ''t'', sinh ''t'')}} form the right half of the [[unit hyperbola]]. Also, similarly to how the derivatives of {{math|sin(''t'')}} and {{math|cos(''t'')}} are {{math|cos(''t'')}} and {{math|–sin(''t'')}} respectively, the derivatives of {{math|sinh(''t'')}} and {{math|cosh(''t'')}} are {{math|cosh(''t'')}} and {{math|sinh(''t'')}} respectively.

Given <math>\imath \equiv \sqrt {-1}</math> (See [[Complex Numbers]]), these functions are:

Hyperbolic functions are used to express the [[angle of parallelism]] in [[hyperbolic geometry]]. They are used to express [[Lorentz boost]]s as [[hyperbolic rotation]]s in [[special relativity]]. They also occur in the solutions of many linear [[differential equation]]s (such as the equation defining a [[catenary]]), [[Cubic equation#Hyperbolic solution for one real root|cubic equations]], and [[Laplace's equation]] in [[Cartesian coordinates]]. [[Laplace's equation]]s are important in many areas of [[physics]], including [[electromagnetic theory]], [[heat transfer]], and [[fluid dynamics]].

For points on the hyperbola below the {{mvar|x}}-axis, the area is considered negative (see [[:Image:HyperbolicAnimation.gif|animated version]] with comparison with the trigonometric (circular) functions).]]

The hyperbolic functions take a [[Real number|real]] [[argument of a function|argument]] called a [[hyperbolic angle]]. The magnitude of a hyperbolic angle is the [[area]] of its [[hyperbolic sector]] to ''xy'' = 1. The hyperbolic functions may be defined in terms of the [[hyperbolic sector#Hyperbolic triangle|legs of a right triangle]] covering this sector.

::(''hyperbolic cotangent'', pronounced "coth" or "chot")

In [[complex analysis]], the hyperbolic functions arise when applying the ordinary sine and cosine functions to an imaginary angle. The hyperbolic sine and the hyperbolic cosine are [[entire function]]s. As a result, the other hyperbolic functions are [[meromorphic function|meromorphic]] in the whole complex plane.

==Series definitionHistory ==

The first known calculation of a hyperbolic trigonometry problem is attributed to [[Gerardus Mercator]] when issuing the [[Mercator projection|Mercator map projection]] circa 1566. It requires tabulating solutions to a [[transcendental equation]] involving hyperbolic functions.<ref name=":3">{{Cite book |last=George F. Becker |url=https://archive.org/details/hyperbolicfuncti027682mbp/page/n49/mode/2up?q=mercator |title=Hyperbolic Functions |last2=C. E. Van Orstrand |date=1909 |publisher=The Smithsonian Institution |others=Universal Digital Library}}</ref>

It is possible to express the above functions as series:

The first to suggest a similarity between the sector of the circle and that of the hyperbola was [[Isaac Newton]] in his 1687 [[Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica|''Principia Mathematica'']].<ref name=":0">{{Cite book |last=McMahon |first=James |url=https://archive.org/details/hyperbolicfuncti031883mbp/page/n75/mode/2up |title=Hyperbolic Functions |date=1896 |publisher=John Wiley And Sons |others=Osmania University, Digital Library Of India}}</ref>

[[Roger Cotes]] suggested to modify the trigonometric functions using the [[imaginary unit]] <math>i=\sqrt{-1} </math> to obtain an oblate [[spheroid]] from a prolate one.<ref name=":0" />

Hyperbolic functions were formally introduced in 1757 by [[Vincenzo Riccati]].<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":3" /><ref name=":4" /> Riccati used {{math|''Sc.''}} and {{math|''Cc.''}} ({{lang|la|sinus/cosinus circulare}}) to refer to circular functions and {{math|''Sh.''}} and {{math|''Ch.''}} ({{lang|la|sinus/cosinus hyperbolico}}) to refer to hyperbolic functions.<ref name=":0" /> As early as 1759, [[François Daviet de Foncenex|Daviet de Foncenex]] showed the interchangeability of the trigonometric and hyperbolic functions using the imaginary unit and extended [[de Moivre's formula]] to hyperbolic functions.<ref name=":4" /><ref name=":0" />

During the 1760s, [[Johann Heinrich Lambert]] systematized the use functions and provided exponential expressions in various publications.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":4">Bradley, Robert E.; D'Antonio, Lawrence A.; Sandifer, Charles Edward.

=== Differential equation definitions ===

==Relationship to regular trigonometric functions==

The hyperbolic functions may be defined as solutions of [[differential equation]]s: The hyperbolic sine and cosine are the solution {{math|(''s'', ''c'')}} of the system

Just as the points (cos ''t'', sin ''t'') define a [[circle]], the points (cosh ''t'', sinh ''t'') define the right half of the equilateral [[hyperbola]] ''x''&sup2; - ''y''&sup2; = 1. This is based on the easily verified identity

<math display="block">\begin{align}

:<math>\cosh^2(t) - \sinh^2(t) = 1 \,</math>

c'(x)&=s(x),\\

and the property that cosh ''t > 0'' for all ''t''.

s'(x)&=c(x),\\

\end{align}

</math>

with the initial conditions <math>s(0) = 0, c(0) = 1.</math> The initial conditions make the solution unique; without them any pair of functions <math>(a e^x + b e^{-x}, a e^x - b e^{-x})</math> would be a solution.

{{math|sinh(''x'')}} and {{math|cosh(''x'')}} are also the unique solution of the equation {{math|1=''f''&thinsp;″(''x'') = ''f''&thinsp;(''x'')}},

However, the hyperbolic functions are not [[periodic function|periodic]].

such that {{math|1=''f''&thinsp;(0) = 1}}, {{math|1=''f''&thinsp;′(0) = 0}} for the hyperbolic cosine, and {{math|1=''f''&thinsp;(0) = 0}}, {{math|1=''f''&thinsp;′(0) = 1}} for the hyperbolic sine.

=== Complex trigonometric definitions ===

The parameter ''t'' is not a circular [[angle]], but rather a [[hyperbolic angle]] which represents twice the area between the ''x''-axis, the hyperbola and the straight line which links the origin with the point (cosh ''t'', sinh ''t'') on the hyperbola.

Hyperbolic functions may also be deduced from [[trigonometric function]]s with [[complex number|complex]] arguments:

The function cosh ''x'' is an [[even function]], that is symmetric with respect to the ''y''-axis, and cosh&nbsp;0&nbsp;=&nbsp;1.

* Hyperbolic sine:<ref name=":1" /> <math display="block">\sinh x = -i \sin (i x).</math>

The function sinh ''x'' is an [[odd function]], that is symmetric with respect to the origin, and sinh&nbsp;0&nbsp;=&nbsp;0.

* Hyperbolic cosine:<ref name=":1" /> <math display="block">\cosh x = \cos (i x).</math>

* Hyperbolic tangent: <math display="block">\tanh x = -i \tan (i x).</math>

* Hyperbolic cotangent: <math display="block">\coth x = i \cot (i x).</math>

* Hyperbolic secant: <math display="block"> \operatorname{sech} x = \sec (i x).</math>

* Hyperbolic cosecant:<math display="block">\operatorname{csch} x = i \csc (i x).</math>

where {{mvar|i}} is the [[imaginary unit]] with {{math|1=''i''² = −1}}.

The above definitions are related to the exponential definitions via [[Euler's formula]] (See {{Section link||Hyperbolic functions for complex numbers}} below).

The hyperbolic functions satisfy many identities, all of them similar in form to the [[trigonometric identity|trigonometric identities]]. In fact, '''Osborne's rule''' 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 two sinh's. This yields for example the addition theorems

:<math>\sinh(x+y) = \sinh(x) \cosh(y) + \cosh(x) \sinh(y) \,</math>

:<math>\cosh(x+y) = \cosh(x) \cosh(y) + \sinh(x) \sinh(y) \,</math>

and the "half-angle formulas"

:<math>\cosh^2\left(\frac{x}{2}\right) = \frac{1+\cosh(x)}{2}</math>

:<math>\sinh^2\left(\frac{x}{2}\right) = \frac{\cosh(x)-1}{2}</math>

== Characterizing properties==

The [[derivative]] of sinh ''x'' is given by cosh ''x'' and the derivative of cosh ''x'' is sinh ''x''.

=== Hyperbolic cosine ===

The graph of the function cosh ''x'' is the [[catenary]] curve.

It can be shown that the [[area under the curve]] of the hyperbolic cosine (over a finite interval) is always equal to the [[arc length]] corresponding to that interval:<ref>{{cite book | title=Golden Integral Calculus | first1=Bali | last1=N.P. | publisher=Firewall Media | year=2005 | isbn=81-7008-169-6 | page=472 | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=hfi2bn2Ly4cC&pg=PA472}}</ref>

==Inverse hyperbolic functions==

The [[inverse function|inverse]]s of the hyperbolic functions are often called the arc hyperbolic functions:

==Useful relations==

Expansion series can be obtained for the above functions:

{{Anchor|Osborn}}

The hyperbolic functions satisfy many identities, all of them similar in form to the [[trigonometric identity|trigonometric identities]]. In fact, '''Osborn's rule'''<ref name="Osborn, 1902" /> states that one can convert any trigonometric identity (up to but not including sinhs or implied sinhs of 4th degree) for <math>\theta</math>, <math>2\theta</math>, <math>3\theta</math> or <math>\theta</math> and <math>\varphi</math> 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 containing a product of two sinhs.

Odd and even functions:

:<math>\operatorname{arcsinh} (x) = x - \left( \frac {1} {2} \right) \frac {x^3} {3} + \left( \frac {1 \cdot 3} {2 \cdot 4} \right) \frac {x^5} {5} - \left( \frac {1 \cdot 3 \cdot 5} {2 \cdot 4 \cdot 6} \right) \frac {x^7} {7} +\cdots = \sum_{n=0}^\infty \left( \frac {(-1)^n(2n)!} {2^{2n}(n!)^2} \right) \frac {x^{2n+1}} {(2n+1)} , \left| x \right| < 1

<math display="block">\begin{align}

\sinh (-x) &= -\sinh x \\

\cosh (-x) &= \cosh x

\end{align}</math>

Hence:

<math display="block">\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>

Thus, {{math|cosh ''x''}} and {{math|sech ''x''}} are [[even function]]s; the others are [[odd functions]].

<math display="block">\begin{align}

\operatorname{arsech} x &= \operatorname{arcosh} \left(\frac{1}{x}\right) \\

\operatorname{arcsch} x &= \operatorname{arsinh} \left(\frac{1}{x}\right) \\

\operatorname{arcoth} x &= \operatorname{artanh} \left(\frac{1}{x}\right)

\end{align}</math>

Hyperbolic sine and cosine satisfy:

<math display="block">\begin{align}

\cosh x + \sinh x &= e^x \\

\cosh x - \sinh x &= e^{-x}

\end{align}</math>

which are analogous to [[Euler's formula]], and

<math display="block">

\cosh^2 x - \sinh^2 x = 1

</math>

which is analogous to the [[Pythagorean trigonometric identity]].

:<math>\operatorname{arctanh} (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)} , \left| x \right| < 1

===Inequalities===

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]]; their Taylor series expansions are given in the [[Taylor series]] article.

The following inequality is useful in statistics:<ref>{{cite news |last1=Audibert |first1=Jean-Yves |date=2009 |title=Fast learning rates in statistical inference through aggregation |publisher=The Annals of Statistics |page=1627}} [https://projecteuclid.org/download/pdfview_1/euclid.aos/1245332827]</ref>

Relationships to regular trigonometric functions are given by [[Euler's formula]] for complex numbers:

<math display="block">\operatorname{cosh}(t) \leq e^{t^2 /2}.</math>

==Taylor series expressions==

It is possible to express explicitly the [[Taylor series]] at zero (or the [[Laurent series]], if the function is not defined at zero) of the above functions.

<math display="block">\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>

This series is [[convergent series|convergent]] for every [[complex number|complex]] value of {{mvar|x}}. Since the function {{math|sinh ''x''}} is [[odd function|odd]], only odd exponents for {{math|''x''}} occur in its Taylor series.

<math display="block">\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>

This series is [[convergent series|convergent]] for every [[complex number|complex]] value of {{mvar|x}}. Since the function {{math|cosh ''x''}} is [[even function|even]], only even exponents for {{mvar|x}} occur in its Taylor series.

The sum of the sinh and cosh series is the [[infinite series]] expression of the [[exponential function]].

The following series are followed by a description of a subset of their [[___domain of convergence]], where the series is convergent and its sum equals the function.

<math display="block">\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)!}, \qquad \left |x \right | < \frac {\pi} {2} \\

\coth x &= x^{-1} + \frac {x} {3} - \frac {x^3} {45} + \frac {2x^5} {945} + \cdots = \sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{2^{2n} B_{2n} x^{2n-1}} {(2n)!}, \qquad 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)!} , \qquad \left |x \right | < \frac {\pi} {2} \\

\operatorname{csch} x &= x^{-1} - \frac {x} {6} +\frac {7x^3} {360} -\frac {31x^5} {15120} + \cdots = \sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{ 2 (1-2^{2n-1}) B_{2n} x^{2n-1}}{(2n)!} , \qquad 0 < \left |x \right | < \pi

\end{align}</math>

where:

*<math>B_n </math> is the ''n''th [[Bernoulli number]]

*<math>E_n </math> is the ''n''th [[Euler number]]

==Infinite products and continued fractions==

The following expansions are valid in the whole complex plane:

:<math>\sinh x = x\prod_{n=1}^\infty\left(1+\frac{x^2}{n^2\pi^2}\right) =

\cfrac{x}{1 - \cfrac{x^2}{2\cdot3+x^2 -

\cfrac{2\cdot3 x^2}{4\cdot5+x^2 -

\cfrac{4\cdot5 x^2}{6\cdot7+x^2 - \ddots}}}}

</math>

:<math>\cosh x = \prod_{n=1}^\infty\left(1+\frac{x^2}{(n-1/2)^2\pi^2}\right) = \cfrac{1}{1 - \cfrac{x^2}{1 \cdot 2 + x^2 - \cfrac{1 \cdot 2x^2}{3 \cdot 4 + x^2 - \cfrac{3 \cdot 4x^2}{5 \cdot 6 + x^2 - \ddots}}}}</math>

:<math>\tanh x = \cfrac{1}{\cfrac{1}{x} + \cfrac{1}{\cfrac{3}{x} + \cfrac{1}{\cfrac{5}{x} + \cfrac{1}{\cfrac{7}{x} + \ddots}}}}</math>

==Comparison with circular functions==

[[File:Circular and hyperbolic angle.svg|right|upright=1.2|thumb|Circle and hyperbola tangent at (1,1) display geometry of circular functions in terms of [[sector of a circle|circular sector]] area {{mvar|u}} and hyperbolic functions depending on [[hyperbolic sector]] area {{mvar|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]] with radius {{mvar|r}} and angle {{mvar|u}} (in radians) is {{math|1=''r''²''u''/2}}, it will be equal to {{mvar|u}} when {{math|1=''r'' = {{sqrt|2}}}}. In the diagram, such a circle is tangent to the hyperbola ''xy'' = 1 at (1,1). The yellow sector depicts an area and angle magnitude. Similarly, the yellow and red regions together depict a [[hyperbolic sector]] with area corresponding to hyperbolic angle magnitude.

The legs of the two [[right triangle]]s with [[hypotenuse]] on the ray defining the angles are of length {{radic|2}} times the circular and hyperbolic functions.

The hyperbolic angle is an [[invariant measure]] with respect to the [[squeeze mapping]], just as the circular angle is invariant under rotation.<ref>[[Mellen W. Haskell|Haskell, Mellen W.]], "On the introduction of the notion of hyperbolic functions", [[Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society]] '''1''':6:155–9, [https://www.ams.org/journals/bull/1895-01-06/S0002-9904-1895-00266-9/S0002-9904-1895-00266-9.pdf full text]</ref>

The [[Gudermannian function]] gives a direct relationship between the circular functions and the hyperbolic functions that does not involve complex numbers.

The graph of the function {{tmath|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==

The decomposition of the exponential function in its [[even–odd decomposition|even and odd parts]] gives the identities

<math display="block">e^x = \cosh x + \sinh x,</math>

and

<math display="block">e^{-x} = \cosh x - \sinh x.</math>

Combined with [[Euler's formula]]

<math display="block">e^{ix} = \cos x + i\sin x,</math>

this gives

<math display="block">e^{x+iy}=(\cosh x+\sinh x)(\cos y+i\sin y)</math>

for the [[general complex exponential function]].

Additionally,

<math display="block">e^x = \sqrt{\frac{1 + \tanh x}{1 - \tanh x}} = \frac{1 + \tanh \frac{x}{2}}{1 - \tanh \frac{x}{2}}</math>

Since the [[exponential function]] can be defined for any [[complex number|complex]] argument, we can also extend the definitions of the hyperbolic functions to complex arguments. The functions {{math|sinh ''z''}} and {{math|cosh ''z''}} are then [[Holomorphic function|holomorphic]].

Relationships to ordinary trigonometric functions are given by [[Euler's formula]] for complex numbers:

<math display="block">\begin{align}

e^{i x} &= \cos x + i \sin x \\

e^{-i x} &= \cos x - i \sin x

\end{align}</math>

so:

<math display="block">\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 \\

\tanh(ix) &= i \tan 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(x+iy) &= \frac{\tanh(x) + i \tan(y)}{1 + i \tanh(x) \tan(y)} \\

\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).
