The hyperbolic cotangent is defined as
|
(1)
|
The notation
is sometimes also used (Gradshteyn and Ryzhik 2000, p. xxix). It is implemented
in the Wolfram Language as Coth[z].
The hyperbolic cotangent satisfies the identity
|
(2)
|
where
is the hyperbolic cosecant.
It has a unique real fixed point where
|
(3)
|
at
(OEIS A085984), which is related to the Laplace limit in the solution of Kepler's
equation.
The derivative is given by
|
(4)
|
where
is the hyperbolic cosecant, and the indefinite
integral by
|
(5)
|
where
is a constant of integration.
The Laurent series of is given by
(OEIS A002431 and A036278), where
is a Bernoulli number and is a Bernoulli polynomial.
An asymptotic series about infinity on the real
line is given by
