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, tanh1x. The argument x must satisfy

where ε = 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

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.

Example

In this example, tanh1(−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

Additional Example

Example 2

In this example, tanh1(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)
