First of all, I suspect you meant Limit[Coth[x B], B -> +Infinity] not Limit[Coth[xB], B -> +Infinity] There's a very big difference. Secondly, the limit doesn't exist for ANY non-zero B, since Limit[Coth[x], x -> -Infinity] -1 Limit[Coth[x], x -> Infinity] 1 and letting x approach +/- 1/B Infinity makes x B approach +/- Infinity = = (on the real line).
