     For each nonvanishing function ${\displaystyle h}$, which is a solution of (2.1), we consider ${\displaystyle \Omega }$ as above and we define
     ${\displaystyle \Omega _{i}=d\Omega (e_{i}),\;\;\;W={\frac {\Omega }{h}}}$

     This means that the vector space of solutions of (2.25) near ${\displaystyle \lambda =0}$ is generated by
     ${\displaystyle \sigma _{1}(\lambda )}$ holomorphic and nonvanishing at 0,
     ${\displaystyle \left(\lambda \sigma _{2}(\lambda )+(log\lambda )\sigma _{1}(\lambda )\right)}$ where a ${\displaystyle \sigma _{2}}$ is holomorphic and nonvanishing at 0.

     Lemma 2 Let ${\displaystyle F(T)}$ be a nonzero element of the fraction field of ${\displaystyle \mathbb {Z} _{p}]}$ for which ${\displaystyle F(\zeta -1)}$ is well defined and nonvanishing for all ${\displaystyle \zeta \in {\mathcal {Z}}}$. Then ${\displaystyle \{|F(\zeta -1)|\mid \zeta \in {\mathcal {Z}}\}}$ is bounded above and below.
