ATANH
This function evaluates the arc hyperbolic tangent.
Function Return Value
ATANH — Function value. (Output)
Required Arguments
X — Argument for which the arc hyperbolic tangent is desired. (Input)
FORTRAN 90 Interface
Generic: ATANH (X)
Specific: The specific interface names are ATANH, DATANH, CATANH, and ZATANH
FORTRAN 77 Interface
Single: ATANH (X)
Double: The double precision function name is DATANH.
Complex: The complex name is CATANH.
Double Complex: The double complex name is ZATANH.
Description
ATANH(X) computes the inverse hyperbolic tangent of x, tanh‑1x. The argument x must satisfy
where ɛ = AMACH(4) is the machine precision. Note that ∣x∣ must not be so close to one that the result is less accurate than half precision.
Comments
Informational Error
Type | Code | Description |
|---|
3 | 2 | Result of ATANH(X) is accurate to less than one‑half precision because the absolute value of the argument is too close to 1.0. |
Examples
Example 1
In this example, tanh‑1(‑1/4) is computed and printed.
USE ATANH_INT
USE UMACH_INT
IMPLICIT NONE
! Declare variables
INTEGER NOUT
REAL VALUE, X
! Compute
X = -0.25
VALUE = ATANH(X)
! Print the results
CALL UMACH (2, NOUT)
WRITE (NOUT,99999) X, VALUE
99999 FORMAT (' ATANH(', F6.3, ') = ', F6.3)
END
Output
ATANH(-0.250) = -0.255
Example 2
In this example, tanh‑1(1/2 + i/2) is computed and printed.
USE ATANH_INT
USE UMACH_INT
IMPLICIT NONE
! Declare variables
INTEGER NOUT
COMPLEX VALUE, Z
! Compute
Z = (0.5, 0.5)
VALUE = ATANH(Z)
! Print the results
CALL UMACH (2, NOUT)
WRITE (NOUT,99999) Z, VALUE
99999 FORMAT (' ATANH((', F6.3, ',', F6.3, ')) = (', &
F6.3, ',', F6.3, ')')
END
Output
ATANH(( 0.500, 0.500)) = ( 0.402, 0.554)
