A single-valued function can be defined, for , by means of an integral as:
(a) Choose a suitable branch-cut with the integrand taking a value at the origin on the upper side of the cut, i.e. at , and describe suitable paths of integration in the two cases and .
(b) Construct the multivalued function by analytic continuation.
(c) Express arcsin in terms of and deduce the periodicity property of .
