Definition df-atan 26910

Description: Define the arctangent function. See also remarks for df-asin 26908. Unlike arcsin and arccos, this function is not defined everywhere, because tan(𝑧) ≠ ±i for all 𝑧 ∈ ℂ. For all other 𝑧, there is a formula for arctan(𝑧) in terms of log, and we take that as the definition. Branch points are at ±i; branch cuts are on the pure imaginary axis not between -i and i, which is to say {𝑧 ∈ ℂ ∣ (i · 𝑧) ∈ (-∞, -1) ∪ (1, +∞)}. (Contributed by Mario Carneiro, 31-Mar-2015.)

Assertion

Ref	Expression
df-atan	⊢ arctan = (𝑥 ∈ (ℂ ∖ {-i, i}) ↦ ((i / 2) · ((log‘(1 − (i · 𝑥))) − (log‘(1 + (i · 𝑥))))))
