Extract

Lagrange's inversion formula is usually presented in the following form. Let f be a regular (= analytic or holomorphic) complex function with the properties

Then it is a standard theorem that it has a regular inverse function g, such that g (f (z)) = z, with similar properties. (I assume here standard results to be found in appropriate text books.
