Repeated derivatives of tanh, sech, ... and associated polynomials

Abstract

Elementary problems like the evaluation of repeated derivatives of ordinary transcendent functions can usefully be treated by the use of special polynomials and of a formalism borrowed from combinatorial analysis. Motivated by previous researches in this field, we review the results obtained by other authors and develop a complementary point of view for the repeated derivatives of sec(.), tan(.) and for their hyperbolic counterparts.
