log·a·rithm

(log'ă-ridhm),
If a number, x, is expressed as a power of another number, y, that is, if x = yn, then n is said to be the logarithm of x to base y. Common logarithms are to the base 10; natural or Napierian logarithms are to the base e, a mathematical constant.

Our main goal is to give a completely reduced expression for the combinatorial logarithm. In Section 2, we describe the irreducible components of [F.sup.c] = Lg(F) and, in particular, of Lg(1 + X) and -Lg(1 - X), together with their exact multiplicities.
