An inver'sion formula for incidence functions is given. This formula is applied to certain types of number-theoretic identities, for example, to the arithmetical evaluation of Ramanujan's sum and to the identical equation of a class of multiplicative functions.

β¦ Synopsis
Niederhausen, H., Fast Lagrange inversion, with an application to factorial numbers, Discrete Mathematics 104 (1992) 99-110. Suppose /3(t) and y(t) are a pair of compositional inverse formal powerseries. Lagrange inversion expresses the coefficient oft" in y(t)" in terms of the coefficient of tC" in /c?(t)-". 'Fast Lagrange inversion' calculate the latter for invertible power series with nonzero quadratic term, using only positive powers of /?. The result is given for multivariate series, and illustrated by a bivariate generalization of Stirling numbers.
