Hyperbolic function
In mathematics, hyperbolic functions are analogs of the ordinary trigonometric, or circular, functions. The basic hyperbolic functions are the hyperbolic sine "sinh" ( /snt/ or /an/), and the hyperbolic cosine "cosh" ( /k/), from which are derived the hyperbolic tangent "tanh" ( /tnt/ or [1] , and so on, corresponding to the derived trigonometric functions. The inverse hyperbolic functions are the area hyperbolic sine "arsinh" (also called "asinh" or sometimes "arcsinh")[2] and so on. Just as the points (cost,sint) form a circle with a unit radius, the points (cosht,sinht) form the right half of the equilateral A ray through the origin intercepts the hyperbola in the point hyperbola. Hyperbolic functions occur in the , where is twice the area between the ray and the -axis. solutions of some important linear For points on the hyperbola below the -axis, the area is considered negative (see animated version with comparison with the trigonometric (circular) differential equations, for example the functions). equation defining a catenary, and 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. In complex analysis, they are simply rational functions of exponentials, and so are meromorphic. Hyperbolic functions were introduced in the 1760s independently by Vincenzo Riccati and Johann Heinrich Lambert.[3] 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.[4] The abbreviations sh and ch are still used in some other languages, like French and Russian.

Note that, by convention, sinh2 x means (sinh x)2, not sinh(sinh x); similarly for the other hyperbolic functions when used with positive exponents. Another notation for the hyperbolic cotangent function is ctnhx, though cothx is far more common.
Useful relations
Hence:
It can be seen that cosh x and sech x are even functions; the others are odd functions.

for the other functions. The hyperbolic tangent is the solution to the nonlinear boundary value problem[5] :
It can be shown that the area under the curve of coshx is always equal to the arc length:[6]

Standard Integrals
For a full list of integrals of hyperbolic functions, see list of integrals of hyperbolic functions
The function sinhx has a Taylor series expression with only odd exponents for x. Thus it is an odd function, that is, sinhx=sinh(x), and sinh0=0.
The function coshx 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.
Hyperbolic function
(Laurent series)
(Laurent series) where is the nth Bernoulli number is the nth Euler number
and the "half-argument formulas"[8] Note: This is equivalent to its circular counterpart multiplied by 1. Note: This corresponds to its circular counterpart. The derivative of sinhx is coshx and the derivative of coshx is sinhx; this is similar to trigonometric functions, albeit the sign is different (i.e., the derivative of cosx is sinx).
Hyperbolic function 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 acosh(x/a) is the catenary, the curve formed by a uniform flexible chain hanging freely between two fixed points under uniform gravity.
and
These expressions are analogous to the expressions for sine and cosine, based on Euler's formula, as sums of complex exponentials.
so:
Thus, hyperbolic functions are periodic with respect to the imaginary component,with period hyperbolic tangent and cotangent).
