510TWO THEOEEMS OF CAUCHY.[Juty;Moreover, for all values of z within a region T which does not cut or touch the positive half of the real axis we shall have -TT < <£ + TT < TT, provided we agree to choose at every £oint so that -2TT < > < 0. It follows, upon introducing (6), that when the above agreements are made we may always choose e so small that the improper integral in (7) will converge uniformly for all values of % in T. Whence, the same integral and hence also the second member of (7) will have the analytic properties indicated above.* Thus we reach in summary the theorem stated at the beginning.It may be observed that in case the function g(w) satisfies the conditions demanded except that it has a finite number of singularities in the region of the w plane lying to the right of the line w = a -\ + iy the theorem continues true provided we subtract from the second member of (3) the sum of the residues of the function irg{w){-%y sin irw corresponding to such singularities.
In 1878 Cayley*) proved that a group which is generated by two operators (s l9 s z ) satisfying the condition s l s 2 = slsl cannot have the property that each of its operators may be represented in the form sgsf. Recently Mr. Netto**} considered the same equation and proved, among other things, that s l and s 2 must either be of the same order, or the order of one of these operators is twice the order of the other. This interesting result may be stated more generally äs follows: // the operators s l and s 2 satisfy the equation s l s^^=s\s\^ then either the Orders of s l and s^ are equal to each other, or the order of one of these operators is an odd number and the order of the other is twice this odd number. Mr. Netto also determined the Orders of four groups which result by assigning certain small values to the Orders of s l and $ 2 · The main objects of the present note are to determine these four groups completely and to exhibit more fully the role of the equation given in the heading äs regards some important groups of finite order.Any operator and its inverse may be used for s ± and $ 2 respectively since such operators satisfy the equation Si^ -5 ! 5 !? an( l> ^ s i an d $2 are commutative, each one of them is the inverse of the other. In other words, if the group (G) generated by Sj^ and s z is abelian, it is also cyclic and 8 l9 *t represent respectively a generator of this cyclic group and the
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
