casinl(3)

casinl3

Complex arc sine

Part of casin(3).

Usage

double complex casin(double complex z); float complex casinf(float complex z); long double complex casinl(long double complex z);

Library

Math library (libm, -lm)

Overview

These functions calculate the complex arc sine of z. If y = casin(z), then z = csin(y). The real part of y is chosen in the interval [-pi/2,pi/2].

One has:

    casin(z) = -i clog(iz + csqrt(1 - z * z))
