Fibonacci Hyperbolic Functions

Let

			(1)
			(2)
			(3)

(OEIS A104457), where  is the golden ratio, and

			(4)
			(5)

(OEIS A002390).

Define the Fibonacci hyperbolic sine by

			(6)
			(7)
			(8)

The function satisfies

(9)

and for ,

(10)

where  is a Fibonacci number. For , 2, ..., the values are therefore 1, 3, 8, 21, 55, ... (OEIS A001906).

Define the Fibonacci hyperbolic cosine by

			(11)
			(12)
			(13)

This function satisfies

(14)

and for ,

(15)

where  is a Fibonacci number. For , 2, ..., the values are therefore 2, 5, 13, 34, 89, ... (OEIS A001519).

Similarly, the Fibonacci hyperbolic tangent is defined by

(16)

and for ,

(17)

For , 2, ..., the values are therefore 1/2, 3/5, 8/13, 21/34, 55/89, ... (OEIS A001906 and A001519).
