The special function defined, for real , by

where is the Euler constant and is the integral cosine. The integral hyperbolic cosine can be represented by the series

Sometimes it is denoted by .

Comments

This function, which is seldom used because of its relation with the cosine integral, is also called the hyperbolic cosine integral. It can, of course be defined (as above) for .

One has , where is the integral hyperbolic sine and is the integral logarithm.
