1-3) Computes the complex arc hyperbolic tangent of z with branch cuts outside the interval [−1; +1] along the real axis.

  1. Type-generic macro: If z has type long double complex, catanhl is called. if z has type double complex, catanh is called, if z has type float complex, catanhf is called. If z is real or integer, then the macro invokes the corresponding real function (atanhf, atanh, atanhl). If z is imaginary, then the macro invokes the corresponding real version of atan, implementing the formula atanh(iy) = i atan(y), and the return type is imaginary.

[edit] Return value

If no errors occur, the complex arc hyperbolic tangent of z is returned, in the range of a half-strip mathematically unbounded along the real axis and in the interval [−iπ/2; +iπ/2] along the imaginary axis.

[edit] Error handling and special values

Errors are reported consistent with math_errhandling

If the implementation supports IEEE floating-point arithmetic,

[edit] Notes

Although the C standard names this function "complex arc hyperbolic tangent", the inverse functions of the hyperbolic functions are the area functions. Their argument is the area of a hyperbolic sector, not an arc. The correct name is "complex inverse hyperbolic tangent", and, less common, "complex area hyperbolic tangent".

Inverse hyperbolic tangent is a multivalued function and requires a branch cut on the complex plane. The branch cut is conventionally placed at the line segmentd (-∞,-1] and [+1,+∞) of the real axis.

The mathematical definition of the principal value of the inverse hyperbolic tangent is atanh z = .

For any z, atanh(z) =

[edit] Example

#include <stdio.h> #include <complex.h>   int main(void) { double complex z = catanh(2); printf("catanh(+2+0i) = %f%+fi\n", creal(z), cimag(z));   double complex z2 = catanh(conj(2)); // or catanh(CMPLX(2, -0.0)) in C11 printf("catanh(+2-0i) (the other side of the cut) = %f%+fi\n", creal(z2), cimag(z2));   // for any z, atanh(z) = atan(iz)/i double complex z3 = catanh(1+2I); printf("catanh(1+2i) = %f%+fi\n", creal(z3), cimag(z3)); double complex z4 = catan((1+2I)*I)/I; printf("catan(i * (1+2i))/i = %f%+fi\n", creal(z4), cimag(z4)); }

Output:

catanh(+2+0i) = 0.549306+1.570796i catanh(+2-0i) (the other side of the cut) = 0.549306-1.570796i catanh(1+2i) = 0.173287+1.178097i catan(i * (1+2i))/i = 0.173287+1.178097i
