valid at least for lw - w 01 < E. That is, the series (9.16-2) can be reversed
in a sufficiently small neighborhood of z 0 , and the resulting series (9.16-3)
provides in lw - wo I < fa solution to the equation w = f(z).
Proof Formula (9.16-1) can be written in the form
But

Hence, by using (9.16-6) in (9.16-5) we get, upon term-by-term
integration,

in view of (9.16-1).
Remarks I. The expansion (9.16-3) gives an alternative proof of the
analyticity of z = 1-^1 (w) in a neighborhood of w 0 •
IL Corollary 9.8 justifies the reversion of a power series w = a 1 z +
a 2 z^2 + · · · (a 1 f= 0), as pointed out in Theorem 8.11 (where, for simplicity,
