With sign pattern +--+--: numerators of expansion of 2^(-1/2) * arcsinh(cosh(x)).
Odd coefficients are zero, denominators are 2^n.
FORMULA
arcsinh(cos(x)) = log(sqrt(2)+1) + 1/sqrt(2) * (-(1/2)*x^2/2! - (1/4)*x^4/4! + (11/8)*x^6/6! + (491/16)*x^8/8! + ...).
arccosh(cos(x)) = Pi/2 - log(sqrt(2)+1) + 1/sqrt(2) * ((1/2)*x^2/2! + (1/4)*x^4/4! - (11/8)*x^6/6! - (491/16)*x^8/8! - ...).
