Generalized Hyperbolic FunctionsIn 1757, V. Riccati first recorded the generalizations of the Hyperbolic Functions defined by
 | (1) |
for , ..., , where is Complex, with the value at defined by
 | (2) |
This is called the -hyperbolic function of order of the th kind. The functions satisfy
 | (3) |
where
 | (4) |
In addition,
 | (5) |
The functions give a generalized Euler Formula
 | (6) |
Since there are th roots of , this gives a system of linear equations. Solving for gives
 | (7) |
where
 | (8) |
is a Primitive Root of Unity.
The Laplace Transform is
 | (9) |
The generalized hyperbolic function is also related to the Mittag-Leffler Function by
 | (10) |
The values and give the exponential and circular/hyperbolic functions (depending on the sign of ),respectively.
For , the first few functions are
