Tanhc Function

The tanhc function is defined, by analogy with the tanc function, for complex numbers z with coshz!=0 by

 tanhc(z)={(tanhz)/z   for z!=0; 1   for z=0.
(1)

For z!=0 in this domain, its derivative is

 (dtanhc(z))/(dz)=(sech^2z)/z-(tanhz)/(z^2).
(2)

At the origin, tanhc^'(0)=0. The indefinite integral can apparently not be done in closed form in terms of conventionally defined functions.

For real numbers x, tanhc(x)<=1, with equality iff x=0. Its positive inflection point is at x=0.919937667... (OEIS A133919), the unique root x>0 of

 xsech^2x-tanhx+x^2sech^2xtanhx=0.
(3)

The other real inflection point is its negative.

It has a unique real fixed point at 0.82242927726... (OEIS A133918).
