Relation between inverse trigonometric function

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the relationships between inverse trigonometric functions and their hyperbolic counterparts, particularly the validity of certain equations. While some relationships, like arcsinh(x) = i arcsin(-ix) and arctanh(x) = i arctan(-ix), are accepted as correct, the equation arccosh(x) = i arccos(+ix) is disputed and requires clarification. Participants emphasize the importance of defining branch cuts and analytic continuations when discussing these functions. A correct derivation shows that arccosh(x) = i arccos(x) aligns with established mathematical principles. The conversation concludes with a request for a comprehensive list of these relationships.

This relationship is correct?
The second one is incorrect, and the other two are obvious.

And which is the correct form for the second?
Also, where can I find a full list (and correct)?
 
Hey man, you'll let me in the doubt!?

cosh(ix) = cos(x)

therefore:

arcosh(x) = i arccos(x)

It's in the link you provided in the first post. You transcribed it incorrectly, that is all.

All you need to prove the others is:

sinh(ix) = i sin(x) and
tanh(ix) = i tan(x)

Give it a go, if can't work it out - ask again.

So, following your ideia, I got:

asin(x) = -i asinh(+i x)
acos(x) = -i acosh( x)
atan(x) = -i atanh(+i x)
acot(x) = -i acoth(-i x)
asec(x) = -i asech( x)
acsc(x) = -i acsch(-i x)

asinh(x) = -i asin(+i x)
acosh(x) = -i acos( x)
atanh(x) = -i atan(+i x)
acoth(x) = -i acot(-i x)
asech(x) = -i asec( x)
acsch(x) = -i acsc(-i x)

Correct?

I started with

sin(z) = -i sinh(iz) (1)

and I applied the arcsin for get z

arcsin(sin(z)) = z

So I realized that z should appears in the right side of equation (1) and the way this happen is aplying -i arcsinh(ix) in the right side, so:

arcsin(sin(z)) = - i arcsinh(i · -i sinh(iz)) = - i arcsinh(sinh(iz)) = -i·iz = z

...
acosh(x) = -i acos( x)

Check this one.

And that one is not correct with many definitions of inverse hyperbolic cosine and inverse cosine.

Jhenrique, you are ignoring the problems of branch cuts. You have not even defined your definitions of the analytic continuations of the inverse functions. There are many choices; infinitely many. What choices have you made?

Check this one.

x = cos(z) = cosh(iz)

acosh(cosh(iz)) = -i acos(cos(z))

iz = -iz ...

hummm
the formula worked for x = cosh(z) = cosh(iz)

So, which are the correct relations?

No, this is obviously wrong. If you end up with a mathematical absurdity like ##x = -x## for nonzero ##x##, you've made a mistake.

If you want to go from ##\cos z = \cosh iz## to a relationship between the inverse circular and hyperbolic functions, here's one way to proceed:

Put ##iz = \cosh^{-1} x##, where ##z = \frac{1}{i}\cosh^{-1} x = -i\cosh^{-1} x##.

Then the RHS becomes ##x##. The LHS is ##\cos(-i\cosh^{-1}x)##.

You now have ##\cos(-i\cosh^{-1}x) = x##. Take the inverse cosine on both sides and you end up with

##-i\cosh^{-1} x = \cos^{-1}(x)##

Multiply both sides by ##i## to get:

##\cosh^{-1} x = i\cos^{-1}(x)##

which is the exact relationship mentioned in the Italian Wiki page.

So, how would be the complete list?
