Defined in header <complex>
template<class T > complex<T> acosh(const complex<T>& z );		(since C++11)

Computes complex arc hyperbolic cosine of a complex value z with branch cut at values less than 1 along the real axis.

Parameters

z

-

complex value

Return value

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

Error handling and special values

Errors are reported consistent with math_errhandling.

If the implementation supports IEEE floating-point arithmetic,

• std::acosh(std::conj(z))==std::conj(std::acosh(z)).
• If z is (±0,+0), the result is (+0,π/2).
• If z is (x,+∞) (for any finite x), the result is (+∞,π/2).
• If z is (x,NaN) (for any finite x), the result is (NaN,NaN) and FE_INVALID may be raised.
• If z is (-∞,y) (for any positive finite y), the result is (+∞,π).
• If z is (+∞,y) (for any positive finite y), the result is (+∞,+0).
• If z is (-∞,+∞), the result is (+∞,3π/4).
• If z is (±∞,NaN), the result is (+∞,NaN).
• If z is (NaN,y) (for any finite y), the result is (NaN,NaN) and FE_INVALID may be raised.
• If z is (NaN,+∞), the result is (+∞,NaN).
• If z is (NaN,NaN), the result is (NaN,NaN).

Notes

Although the C++ standard names this function "complex arc hyperbolic cosine", 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 cosine", and, less common, "complex area hyperbolic cosine".

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

The mathematical definition of the principal value of the inverse hyperbolic cosine is acosh z = ln(z + √z+1√z-1).

For any z, acosh(z) =

√z-1

√1-z

acos(z), or simply i acos(z) in the upper half of the complex plane.

Example

Run this code

#include <complex>#include <iostream>   int main(){std::cout<<std::fixed;std::complex<double> z1(0.5, 0);std::cout<<"acosh"<< z1 <<" = "<<std::acosh(z1)<<'\n';   std::complex<double> z2(0.5, -0.0);std::cout<<"acosh"<< z2 <<" (the other side of the cut) = "<<std::acosh(z2)<<'\n';   // in upper half-plane, acosh = i acos std::complex<double> z3(1, 1), i(0, 1);std::cout<<"acosh"<< z3 <<" = "<<std::acosh(z3)<<'\n'<<"i*acos"<< z3 <<" = "<< i*std::acos(z3)<<'\n';}

Output:

acosh(0.500000,0.000000) = (0.000000,-1.047198) acosh(0.500000,-0.000000) (the other side of the cut) = (0.000000,1.047198) acosh(1.000000,1.000000) = (1.061275,0.904557) i*acos(1.000000,1.000000) = (1.061275,0.904557)
