On Complex Multiplicative Integration

Abstract

In the present paper we extend the multiplicative integral to complex-valued functions of complex variable. The main difficulty in this way, that is the multi-valued nature of the complex logarithm, is avoided by division of the interval of integration to a finite number of local intervals, in each of which the complex logarithm can be localized in one of its branches. Interestingly, the complex multiplicative integral became a multi-valued function. Some basic properties of this integral are considered. In particular, it is proved that this integral and the complex multiplicative derivative bonded in a kind of fundamental theorem.
