Hyperbolic sinc function

1.6k Views Asked by At

Cardinal sine function or sinc function is defined by: \begin{equation} \mathrm{sinc}x=\begin{cases}\frac{\sin x}{x}, & x \neq 0,\\ 1, & x = 0,\end{cases} \end{equation}

Is there any established name and notation for "hyperbolic sinc" function, where $\sin x$ is replaced by $\sinh x$?

Better late than never. I would refer to it as the "hyperbolic sinc."

The notation I've seen used is sinhc x.

There's an article Here, which provides a geometric interpretation for it.
