Prove that the following sum is a branch of log(z)

45 Views Asked by At

Problem statement:

Let $f(z) :$

$$f(z) = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty}{(-1)^{n-1}\cdot\left(\frac{(z-1)^{n}}{n}\right)} $$

Q: How can we prove that the previous mapping is a branch of logarithm on $\mathbb{D}(1,1)\;$ (open disk)

Thanks in advance for your help.

EDIT: If $U \subset \mathbb{C}^{*}$ an open set and $f$ a branch of logarithm prove that :

i) $ f$ is analytic

ii) $f'(z) = \frac{1}{z} $
