# scipy.special.shichi

scipy.special.shichi(x, out=None) = <ufunc 'shichi'>

  Hyperbolic sine and cosine integrals.

  The hyperbolic sine integral is

  \[\int_0^x \frac{\sinh{t}}{t}dt\]

  and the hyperbolic cosine integral is

  \[\gamma + \log(x) + \int_0^x \frac{\cosh{t} - 1}{t} dt\]

  where \(\gamma\) is Euler’s constant and \(\log\) is the principle branch of the logarithm.

  Parameters
    x array_like

      Real or complex points at which to compute the hyperbolic sine and cosine integrals.

  Returns
    si ndarray

      Hyperbolic sine integral at `x`

    ci ndarray

      Hyperbolic cosine integral at `x`

  Notes

  For real arguments with `x < 0`, `chi` is the real part of the hyperbolic cosine integral. For such points `chi(x)` and `chi(x + 0j)` differ by a factor of `1j*pi`.

  For real arguments the function is computed by calling Cephes’ [1] shichi routine. For complex arguments the algorithm is based on Mpmath’s [2] shi and chi routines.
