Cotangent function

Expressions for the odd moments in terms of even moments, and for the even moments in terms of the odd ones, have been reported [177]. We expand the hyperbolic cotangent function according to...

Give the domains of the cotangent (cot) and cosecant (cosec) functions. 

The behavior of the functions r(co) and t(w) is complicated by a series of interference oscillations due to the complex cotangent. Fora transparent layer [n(co) real], the oscillations have zero minima for r to) at n(co)a)e/nc = integers. In the case of weak absorption by the phonon continuum (n = v + in, k 0), the back-face reflection component, for a sufficiently thick sample, is absorbed, and we obtain... 

A more general theoretical model [29], which results in Equation 11.38, provides a better description of an elastomeric stress-strain curve all the way up to fracture, by including the finite extensibilities of the chains. In this equation, 1 is the inverse Langevin function. " is a transcendental function which is defined by Equation 11.39. Coth is the hyperbolic cotangent function. The superscript of -1 represents the functional inversion (and not merely simple reciprocal) of the function in square brackets. 

The ordinary trigonometric functions include the sine, the cosine, the tangent, the cotangent, the secant, and the cosecant. These are sometimes called the circular trigonometric Junctions to distinguish them from the hyperbolic trigonometric functions discussed briefly in the next section of this chapter. 

The other hyperbolic trigonometric functions are the hyperbolic tangent, denoted by tanh(x) the hyperbolic cotangent, denoted by coth(x) the hyperbolic secant, denoted by sech(x) and the hyperbolic cosecant, denoted by csch(x). These functions are given by the equations...

Mean-field theories of the surface tension of polymer solutions have been developed using the Cahn square gradient approach for interfacial properties of solutions and mixtures both for attractive and for repulsive air/liquid interfaces (Cahn and Hilliard 1958), in a way analogous to the treatment of surface segregation in polymer blends given in section 5.1. For situations in which a surface excess was formed, the volume fraction profile was a hyperbolic cotangent, whereas repulsive profiles were described by hyperbolic tangent functions. Values of the surface tension of semi-dilute solutions of polyst)n ene in toluene (a depletion layer) and polydimethyl siloxane in toluene (an attractive interface, a surface excess formed) were well described by this theory. 

In expressions (181a), the cotangent function then becomes... 

Thus, the phase space of a mechanical system has a natural symplectic structure, which fact will be used for our further purposes. In our concrete example of a system with two degrees of freedom, the cotangent bundle T M has a structure of a four-dimensional real-analytic symplectic manifold. The motion of the system is described by the Hamiltonian equations sgrad F, where the Hamiltonian F will be thought of as a real analytic function on T M. The Hamiltonian will be taken in the following form F(x,() = K(x,() -f C/(x), where for all x Af the function K(Xf() is a quadratic form in the variables ( T M and the function f(x) depends only on x M. The functions AC(a , f) and l/(x) will be treated as real-analytic on the manifolds T M and Af, respectively. The quadratic form K(x, () is usually identified with the kinetic energy of the system and the function... 

If the surface and the Hamiltonian F are analytic, then both conditions 1 and 2 of Theorem 5.2.3 are automatically fulfilled (the property 1 requires special proof), and therefore in an analytic case Theorem 5.2.3 immediately implies Theorem 5.2.1. More generally, if a compact orient able surface M is nonhomeo-morphic to a sphere and to a torus then the above-mentioned equations of system motion do not have a new integral which is a smooth function on T M analytic for fixed x M on cotangent two-dimensional planes T M and having only a finite number of distinct critical values. The number of critical points is not necessarily finite. Functions polynomial in momenta are an example of integrals analytic in the momenta... 

A function F on a cotangent bundle T M is a first integral of a Hamiltonian system with the Hamiltonian H if and only if the Poisson bracket H, F is identical zero. If the manifold M is two-dimensional, then the integrals quadratic in momenta are of the form F = where B = (6 y) is a symmetric matrix of... 

Results in Eq. 8.114 are identical to those derived by Markham [68] for an analogous Hamiltonian worked out to describe spectra of electron traps in crystals. In the classical limit, jS ti(Ok, we can take a first-order expansion of the hyperbolic cotangent function coth (phcbk/l) IksT/fimk, thus obtaining the expressions... 

The trigonometric functions illustrate a general property of the functions that we deal with. They are single-valued for each value of the angle a, there is one and only one value of the sine, one and only one value of the cosine, and so on. The sine and cosine functions are continuous everywhere. The tangent, cotangent, secant, and cosecant functions are piecewise continuous (discontinuous only at isolated points, where they diverge).

There are many practical applications in engineering for the trigonometric functions sine, cosine, tangent, secant, cosecant, and cotangent. These functions are defined as the ratios of the sides of plane right triangles. These functions are shown in Table 7.12. 

As opposed to the previous techniques, certain functions can be derived from existing ones. Such a choice should be made only if it does not contribute significantly to the loss of execution speed. A trivial example is the coding of cotangent, cosecant etc. values through tangent, cosine etc. functions.
