For many choices of u and v, there is exactly one x>0 satisfying x*cosh(u*x)=v. Guide to related sequences, with graphs included in Mathematica programs:
u.... v.... x
1.... 1.... A069814
1.... 2.... A201939
1.... 3.... A201943
2.... 1.... A201944
3.... 1.... A201945
2.... 2.... A202283
Suppose that f(x,u,v) is a function of three real variables and that g(u,v) is a function defined implicitly by f(g(u,v),u,v)=0. We call the graph of z=g(u,v) an implicit surface of f.
For an example related to A201939, take f(x,u,v)=x*cosh(u*x)-v and g(u,v) = a nonzero solution x of f(x,u,v)=0. If there is more than one nonzero solution, care must be taken to ensure that the resulting function g(u,v) is single-valued and continuous. A portion of an implicit surface is plotted by Program 2 in the Mathematica section.
