HACT Inverse Hyperbolic Cotangent

HACT.1 Introduction

Let $x$ be a complex variable of $\mathbb{C} \setminus \{-1,1\}$ .The function Inverse Hyperbolic Cotangent (noted $\operatorname{arccoth}$ ) is defined by the following second order differential equation

$\begin{equation*} \begin{split} 2 x \frac{\partial y (x)}{\partial x} + \bigl(x^{2} - 1\bigr) \frac{\partial^{2} y (x)}{\partial x^{2}}& =0. \end{split} \end{equation*}$
