Division by zero computing tanh of a real number? That would take talent.
Care to elaborate?
Maybe it was atanh, but it's not the function of a real number, it's the
derivative that causes problems. Certain people here swear by this for
continuous limiter functions in SPICE, but I've found they can go batty
rather often.
Incidentally, The Internet doesn't know that degenerate circuits aren't the
only condition that can create singular matrices.

All derivatives of TANH exist and don't go "batty". You must be
thinking of some other function.

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.
