ArcCosh / Computation Layer

Calculate the inverse hyperbolic cosine (arccosh) of values in a column. Similar to pandas arccosh(), numpy.arccosh(), or R's acosh() function.

Mathematical form: $y_{i} = arccosh (x_{i}) = ln (x_{i} + x_{i}^{2} - 1)$ where:

Input domain: $x_{i} \geq 1$
Output range: $y_{i} \geq 0$

Common applications:

Relativistic physics calculations
Quantum mechanics analysis
Signal processing
Hyperbolic geometry
Catenary curve analysis
Network theory calculations

Note: Returns null for inputs < 1 and preserves existing nulls. Results are always non-negative real numbers.

column

The numeric column for inverse hyperbolic cosine calculation. Examples:

Energy levels (1.0 → 0.0)
Boost parameters (2.0 → 1.317...)
Growth factors (5.0 → 2.292...)
Scaling ratios (10.0 → 2.993...)

Values must be greater than or equal to 1

Name for the new column. If not provided, the system generates a unique name. If AsColumn matches an existing column, the existing column is replaced. The name should follow valid column naming conventions.
