We obtain an alternate formulation as a sum of terms thereby avoiding this difficulty. 1991 AMS Classification Number.

Introduction Many researchers have studied the Lagrange inversion formula obtaining a variety of proofs and extensions. Gessel 4 has collected an extensive set of references. For more recent results see Haiman and Schmitt 6 Goulden and Kulkarni 5 and Section of Bergeron Labelle and Leroux 3 . Let boldface letters denote vectors and let a vector to a vector power be the product of componentwise exponentiation as in xn x 1 xn. Let xn h x denote the coefficient of xn in h x . Let ai jII denote the determinant of the d X d matrix with entries ai j. A traditional formulation of multivariate Lagrange inversion is Theorem 1. Suppose that g x f1 x fd x are formal power series in x such that fi 0 0 for 1 i d. Then the set of equations wi tifi w for 1 i d uniquely determine the wi as formal power series in t and tn g w t xn g x f x n . _ xi @fj x ij fj x @xi 1 where si j is the Kronecker delta. If one attempts to use this formula to estimate tn g w t by steepest descent or stationary phase one hnds that the determinant vanishes near the point where the integrand is maximized and this can lead to difficulties as min ni 1. We derive an alternate formulation of 1 which avoids this problem. In 2 we apply the .
