· Integration 471
so that F 1 (z) = Logz + K for z E G - L 0 , K being a constant. But
F1 (1) = 0 and Log 1 = 0, hence J{ = 0, and we obtain
Fi(z) =Log z
Therefore, F(z) = Log z + 2k7ri = log z.
If we let w = Log z and denote by g the inverse of the mapping defined
by F, we see that
z = g(w + 2k7ri)
Thus g (the inverse of the function defined by the integral 7.16-4) is a
periodic function with period 27ri.
