Definition
The principal branch of the complex inverse secant function is defined as:
- $\forall z \in \C_{\ne 0}: \map \arcsec z := \dfrac 1 i \, \map \Ln {\dfrac {1 + \sqrt {1 - z^2} } z}$
where:
- $\Ln$ denotes the principal branch of the complex natural logarithm
- $\sqrt {1 - z^2}$ denotes the principal square root of $1 - z^2$.
