I need an even function that grows faster than cosh(x)

Question

Does anyone know of any even special functions that grow very fast, faster than $\cosh(x)$? (Not the exponential)

(Further info):

$$\sqrt{\ln\left(\cosh\left(m\theta\right)\left(a+b\theta^{2}\right)\right)}$$

is growing too slowly for me. What I'm trying to do is approximate a lower semi-circle using a function of this root log form. The problem is, root ln grows very slowly; in polars this means that if the first and second derivative of the lower semicircle (in polars) and this $\sqrt{\ln\left(f(\theta)\right)}$ function match, the two curves touch 'for a moment', the length of this moment determined, to some extent, by how fast $\cosh(x)$ grows.

Any other candidates that might speed things up, if you understand?

Answer 1

You can always try $e^{f(t)}$, for an $f$ of your choice. The exponential will take care of the logarithm, and you can design $f$ to handle the root in whichever way you want.
