Hyperbolic sine and cosine integrals.

The hyperbolic sine integral is

\[\int_0^x \frac{\sinh{t}}{t}dt\]

and the hyperbolic cosine integral is

\[\gamma + \log(x) + \int_0^x \frac{\cosh{t} - 1}{t} dt\]

where \(\gamma\) is Euler’s constant and \(\log\) is the principle branch of the logarithm.

Parameters:

x : array_like

Real or complex points at which to compute the hyperbolic sine and cosine integrals.

Returns:

si : ndarray

Hyperbolic sine integral at x

ci : ndarray

Hyperbolic cosine integral at x

Notes

For real arguments with x < 0, chi is the real part of the hyperbolic cosine integral. For such points chi(x) and chi(x + 0j) differ by a factor of 1j*pi.

For real arguments the function is computed by calling Cephes’ [R568] shichi routine. For complex arguments the algorithm is based on Mpmath’s [R569] shi and chi routines.
