Solve $z+\sin{z}=i$

115 Views Asked by At

How can I find how many solutions following equation have?

$$z+\sin{z}=i$$

I can make substitution $z=it$ and get

$$t+\sinh{t}=1$$

which has one real solution $t\approx0.4900730685$ thus $z\approx0.4900730685i$.

However with Mathematica I found more solutions, some of them: $$z\approx4.440301668+2.209373901i$$ $$z\approx-4.007976440-2.344091437i$$

And if there is infinitely many roots, is it possible to write formula for other roots using only first root I found?
