I think it's some sort of function, maybe a trigonometric one. Does anyone know what it means?

tg^2(x) is the same as tg(x)*tg(x), where tg function represents tangens, and can also be written as tan(x). Tg(x) is more common way of denominating tangens in Europe...

This is certainly not a function that I've seen before and I've had no real success finding a good example on the Web. As a mathematician, I'd expect to have run across 'tg' before if it were a trigonometric function.
Although, as the first Answer suggests, it's possible non-U.S. countries refer to 'tangent' as 'tg' instead of 'tan'. That's news to me, but I believe it could be true! See the link below for an example of this usage in a computer-programming context.
Hope this helps!

tg^2(x) means the square of tg(x), that is, tg(x) * tg(x). tg, sometimes tan, is the symbol of the trigonometric function tangent.

tg^2(x)= (tg(x))*(tg(x))
as a^2= a*a

the same as (tan(x))^2
