CHAPTER II FUNCTIONS WHICH HAVE ALGEBRAIC ADDITION-THEOREMS

32. Examples of functions having algebraic addition-theorems

33. The addition-theorem stated

34. Méray's eliminant equation

35. The existence of this equation is universal for functions considered

37a.

38.

39. A form of the general integral of Méray's equation

The Discussion Restricted to One-valued Functions

40. All functions which have the property that $\phi(u+v)$ may be rationally expressed through $\phi(u)$, $\phi'(u)$, $\phi(v)$, $\phi'(v)$ are one-valued

41.

42.

43.

44.

45.

46. Example showing that a function $\phi(u)$ may be such that $\phi(u+v)$ is rationally expressible through $\phi(u)$, $\phi'(u)$, $\phi(v)$, $\phi'(v)$ without having an algebraic addition-theorem

Continuation of the Domain in which the Analytic Function $\phi(u)$ has been Defined, with Proofs that its Characteristic Properties are Retained in the Extended Domain

47. Definition of the function in the neighborhood of the origin

48.

49.

50.

51. The other characteristic properties of the function are also retained. The addition-theorem, while limited to a ring-formed region, exists for the whole region of convergence established for $\phi(u)$
