Let $h>0$ be fixed. The Hilger pure imaginary numbers, $\mathring{\iota} \omega$, where $-\dfrac{\pi}{h} < \omega \leq \dfrac{\pi}{h}$ is defined by the formula $$\mathring{\iota} \omega = \dfrac{e^{2\pi i \omega}-1}{h},$$ where $i=\sqrt{-1}$.

Properties

Theorem: Let $h>0$ be fixed. If $-\dfrac{\pi}{h} < \omega \leq \dfrac{\pi}{h}$, then $$\left| \mathring{\iota} \omega \right|=\dfrac{4}{h^2} \sin^2 \left( \dfrac{\omega h}{2} \right).$$
