Sinhc Function


Sinhc
SinhcReIm

By analogy with the sinc function, define the sinhc function by

 sinhc(z)={(sinhz)/z   for z!=0; 1   for z=0.
(1)

Since sinhx/x is not a cardinal function, the "analogy" with the sinc function is one of functional structure, not mathematical properties. It is quite possible that a better term than sinhc(x) could be coined, although there appears to be no other name previously assigned to this function.

The function has derivative

 (dsinhc(z))/(dz)=(coshz)/z-(sinhz)/(z^2)
(2)

and indefinite integral

 intsinhc(z)dz=Shi(z)+C,
(3)

where Shi(z) is the Shi function.

SinhcFunctionFixedPoints

The function has real fixed points at 1.31328371835... (OEIS A133916) and 2.63924951389... (OEIS A133917).
