4.Gordon, for instance, gives a similar decomposition which is valid regardless of the sign of Im z. [W. Gordon, Z. Physik, 48, 180 (1928)]. That the same is not the case here may be understood as follows: In the decomposition given by Eq. (7) for Im specifications on the phases are so rigid that no room is left in which to adjust the phases which would reinstate the validity of Eq. (7) for Im

It is to be noted that the W functions defined in these two articles are not exactly the same. The used in the former are what are called here. It is easily seen, however, that the argument in terms of U is analogous to that in terms of W with the replacement of by
