Proposition 5.4.1. There exists a unique function L : (0,∞) → ℝ such that
(i) L 1 = 0; (ii) L is differentiable with derivative 1/x; (iii)
L is strictly increasing, bijective, and L x → -∞ as x → 0⁺ while
L x → ∞ as x → ∞; (iv) L (x*y) = L x + L y for x,y > 0; (v) for
rational q and x > 0, L (x^q) = q * L x.
