casin(3) BSD Library Functions Manual casin(3)
NAME
casin -- complex inverse sine function catan -- complex inverse tangent function
SYNOPSIS
#include <complex.h> double complex casin(double complex z); long double complex casinl(long double complex z); float complex casinf(float complex z); double complex catan(double complex z); long double complex catanl(long double complex z); float complex catanf(float complex z);
DESCRIPTION
casin(z) computes the inverse sine of the complex floating-point number z, with branch cuts outside the interval [-1, 1] on the real axis. ctan(z) computes the inverse tangent of the complex floating-point number z, with branch cuts outside the interval [-i, i] on the imaginary axis. Both functions return values in a strip of the complex plane with unbounded imaginary part, and real part in the interval [-Pi/2, Pi/2].
NOTES
casin and catan are defined in terms of the complex inverse hyperbolic functions as follows: casin(z) = -i * casinh(i*z), catan(z) = -i * catanh(i*z).
