let be m a measures (by expermients) physical quantity and m0 a 'bare' value of these physical quantity , let us suppose that we can expand

m= m_{0}+f(k,m_{0})+ \sum_{n} u^{n}c_{n}

for some finite quantities c_n and u=log(\Lambda) with lambda a regulator

can we then invert the series above to express

log(\Lambda)= g( f(k,m_{0}) , m , m_{0})

how about if instead of logarithms of regulator there are also powers of regulator i mean quantities proportional to \Lambda ^{k}

One can formally solve every equation \sum_{n=1}^\infty c_nu^n=x
with nonzero c_1 to an equation \sum_{n=1}^\infty d_nx^n=u ; simply substitute one into the other and compare coefficients to get recurrence relations.
