MATLAB Function Reference

sech

Hyperbolic secant

Syntax

• Y = sech(X)
  

Description

The sech function operates element-wise on arrays. The function's domains and ranges include complex values. All angles are in radians.

Y = sech(X) returns an array the same size as X containing the hyperbolic secant of the elements of X.

Examples

Graph the hyperbolic secant over the domain

• x = -2*pi:0.01:2*pi; 
  plot(x,sech(x)), grid on
