(since it'seems,that the plus-sign disappears in postings and I do not realize how to keep them I use the # sign in the following)I am fiddling with some type of generalizing of sinh/cosh and sin/cos-function and am searching a way to find an inverse, like
the ln()-series as inverse of the exp()-series
Taking v as the 2'nd complex root of 1 (v=-1) the cosh/sinh-pair is defined as
cosh(x) = (exp(x) # exp(v*x))/2
sinh(x) = (exp(x) # v*exp(v*x))/2
Then, for instance
cosh(x) # sinh(x) = exp(x)
cosh(x) - sinh(x) = exp(-x)
cosh(x)' = sinh(x), sinh(x)' = cosh(x)
and much more.
Taking v as the 3'rd complex root of 1 (v=0.5(-1 # sqrt(3)i), which are he basis for the eisenstein-integers, I can construct:
f(x) = (exp(x) # exp(vx) # exp(vvx))/3
g(x) = (exp(x) # vv exp(vx) # v exp(vvx))/3
h(x) = (exp(x) # v exp(vx) # vv exp(vvx))/3
Since v+vv=-1 and v*vv=1 I get for instance:
f(x) # g(x) # h(x) = exp(x)
f(2x) = f(x)^2 # g(x)h(x)
g(2x) = g(x)^2 # h(x)f(x)
h(2x) = h(x)^2 # f(x)g(x)
f(3x) = f(x)^3 # g(x)^3 # g(x)^3 # 6 f(x)g(x)h(x)
g(3x) = 3( f(x)^2 g(x) # g(x)^2 h(x) # h(x)^2 f(x))
h(3x) = 3( g(x)^2 f(x) # h(x)^2 g(x) # f(x)^2 h(x))
f(x)' = h(x) g(x)'=f(x) h'(x) = g(x)
and some more interesting properties.
First I would like to find series expressions for the inverses of this functions to be able to play with other properties numerically.
A bit more complicated is with cos/sin-function; here we have
v=4'th primitive complex root of 1 = i , and w = vv
and the according representation of cos(x) and sin(x) is
more tedious.
But analoguously as for instance
cos(x) = 1 # vv x^2/2! # x^4/4! # vv x^6/6! ....
which we are used to with the alternating plus and minus sign,
I created the f(),g(),h()-functions, now using the primitive 9'th complex root of 1, thus, for instance
f(x) = 1 # vv x^3/3! # v x^6/6! # x^9/9! ...
g(x) = x/1! # vv x^4/4! # v x^7/7! # x^10/10! ...
which are functions with the oscillating property like cos/sin, but diverging with growing x.
I have not many properties of this group of functions; but to proceed I would like to find also a series for the inverse, so that I can try some properties at least by numerical approximation.
