Well, I've prepared some graphs in the hope that I can address the question about my super-logarithm extension. The question was "are you sure?" about my super-logarithm definition not working for bases between
. My only answer is to look at the graphs.
These are some graphs of the first three coefficients of the super-logarithm, i.e. the Abel function of
. In each graph there are multiple curves, each curve corresponds to a specific approximation; the approximations shown are roughly
and the independant axis represents the base
. What follows are graphs of
as functions of b for
for the functional equation
with
.
As you can see, when the base is between
, although the matrix equation has a solution, the solutions (coefficients) do not seem to converge. This is what leads me to beleive that my super-logarithm definition will only work for
.
