The hyperbolic cosecant is defined as

cschz=1/(sinhz)=2/(e^z-e^(-z)).
(1)

It is implemented in the Wolfram Language as Csch[z].

It is related to the hyperbolic cotangent though

cschz=coth(1/2z)-cothz.
(2)

The derivative is given by

d/(dz)cschz=-cothzcschz,
(3)

where cothz is the hyperbolic cotangent, and the indefinite integral by

intcschzdz=ln[sinh(1/2z)]-ln[cosh(1/2z)]+C,
(4)

where C is a constant of integration.

It has Taylor series

cschz=sum_(n=-1)^(infty)(2^(n+1)B_(n+1)(1/2))/((n+1)!)z^n
(5)
=1/z-sum_(n=1)^(infty)(2(2^(2n-1)-1)B_(2n))/((2n)!)z^(2n-1)
(6)
=1/z-z/6+(7z^3)/(360)-(31z^5)/(15120)+...
(7)

(OEIS A036280 and A036281), where B_n(x) is a Bernoulli polynomial and B_n is a Bernoulli number.

Sums include

sum_(k=1)^(infty)csch^2(pik)=1/6-1/(2pi)
(8)
=0.007511723...
(9)

(OEIS A110191; Berndt 1977).
