Calculating Hyperbolic Sin faster than using a standard power series












5












$begingroup$


Using $$ sinh x = x + tfrac{x^3}{3!}+ tfrac{x^5}{5!} + tfrac{x^7}{7!}+ cdots$$ as the Standard Power Series. This series takes a very long time to run. Can it be written without using the exponentials divided by a huge factorial. The example functions in Is there a way to get trig functions without a calculator? using the "Tailored Taylor" series representation for sin and cosine are very fast and give the same answers. I want to use it within my calculator program.



Thank you very much.

          Note that $$sinh x=frac{e^x-e^{-x}}2$$
          So all you need is a fast way to calculate the exponential $e^x$. You can use the regular Taylor series, but that's slow. So you can use the definition $$e^x=lim_{ntoinfty}left(1+frac xnright)^n$$
          For calculation purposes, use $n$ as a power of $2$, $n=2^k$. You calculate first $y=1+frac x{2^k}$, then you repeat the $y=ycdot y$ operation $k$ times. I've got the idea about calculating the fast exponential from this article.

            Let me consider the problem from a computing point of view assumin that you do not know how to compute $e^x$.



            The infinite series is
            $$sinh(x)=sum_{n=0}^infty frac{x^{2n+1}}{(2n+1)!}$$ If you compute each term independently of the other, for sure, it is expensive since you have to compute each power of $x$ as well as each factorial.



            But suppose that you write instead
            $$sinh(x)=sum_{n=0}^infty T_n qquad text{where} qquad T_n=frac{x^{2n+1}}{(2n+1)!}qquad text{and} qquad T_0=x$$ then
            $$T_{n+1}= frac {t,, T_n}{(2n+2)(2n+3)}qquad text{where} qquad t=x^2$$ This would be much less expensive in terms of basic operations.



            You could use the same trick for most functions expressed as infinite series.
