Abstract

We use hyperbolic functions to parametrize lepton mixing matrix using only one input parameter ϕ\phi. This matrix has three mixing angles as outputs therefore giving two predictions. In particular it predicts Ue3=0U_{e3}=0 besides predicting correct solar and atmospheric mixing. We confine us to real ϕ\phi. For complex ϕ\phi mixing matrix is no longer unitary. Next we accentuate this unitary mixing matrix with an additional small parameter δ\delta while keeping unitarity of the matrix exact. When this second parameter is included, with this framework, one can handle small but non-zero Ue3U_{e3}. In the second case from two input parameters one obtains three mixing angles thus one prediction.
