The Exponential Versus the Complex Power ez Function Revisited

[EN] The complex exponential function exp is a well-known entire function. In this paper, we recall its relation with the definition of the complex power of a complex number, which emanates that the complex power ez may coincide with it at some complex values. Still, on most occasions, the power rep...
