Solving equations by inversion formulae

[zetafunction]

the idea is let us suppose i must solve

f(x)= 0 (1)

let us suppose that f(x) have SEVERAL (perhaps infinite ) inverses, that is there is a finite or infinite solutions to the equation

f(x)= y by g(y)= x with f^{-1}(x)=g(x)

then solution to equation (1) would be g(0)=x

my problem is what would happen for multi-valued functions (example x^{2} having several 'branches' (is this the correct word ?? )

Using Lagrange inversion theorem g(x) = a<br /> + \sum_{n=1}^{\infty}<br /> \left(<br /> \lim_{w \to a}\left(<br /> \frac{\mathrm{d}^{\,n-1}}{\mathrm{d}w^{\,n-1}}<br /> \left( \frac{w-a}{f(w) - b} \right)^n\right)<br /> {\frac{(x - b)^n}{n!}}<br /> \right).<br />

then simply set x=0 but this would only give an UNIQUE solution to (1)

Lagrange's inversion theorem is a local theorem, i.e. it is only valid in a neighborhood depending on the radius of convergence - different locations result in different power series.
