I don′t see how there could be more than one value. it′s the same as in the following example: x=2^2 ⇒ x=4 x=(−2)^2 ⇒ x=4 but x^2 =4 ⇒ x=−2∨x=2 if we have z_1 ^z_2 we need z_1 =re^(iθ) with r∈R and 0≤θ<2π and z_2 =a+bi ⇒ (re^(iθ) )^(a+bi) =r^(a+bi) e^(iθ(a+bi)) =r^a r^(bi) e^(iaθ) e^(−bθ) = =r^a e^(−bθ) e^(i(aθ+bln r)) which is unique.

z=(2i−1)^(i+1) =[(√5)e^((π−tan^(−1) 2)i) ]^(i+1) =(√5)e^(−π+tan^(−1) 2) [(√5)e^((π−tan^(−1) 2)) ]^i =(√5)e^(−π+tan^(−1) 2) e^((π−tan^(−1) 2+ln (√5))i) it′s principal value is Arg(z)=π−tan^(−1) 2+ln (√5)≈2.839

$${z}=\left(\mathrm{2}{i}−\mathrm{1}\right)^{{i}+\mathrm{1}} =\left[\sqrt{\mathrm{5}}{e}^{\left(\pi−\mathrm{tan}^{−\mathrm{1}} \mathrm{2}\right){i}} \right]^{{i}+\mathrm{1}} \\ $$$$=\sqrt{\mathrm{5}}{e}^{−\pi+\mathrm{tan}^{−\mathrm{1}} \mathrm{2}} \left[\sqrt{\mathrm{5}}{e}^{\left(\pi−\mathrm{tan}^{−\mathrm{1}} \mathrm{2}\right)} \right]^{{i}} \\ $$$$=\sqrt{\mathrm{5}}{e}^{−\pi+\mathrm{tan}^{−\mathrm{1}} \mathrm{2}} {e}^{\left(\pi−\mathrm{tan}^{−\mathrm{1}} \mathrm{2}+\mathrm{ln}\:\sqrt{\mathrm{5}}\right){i}} \\ $$$${it}'{s}\:{principal}\:{value}\:{is} \\ $$$${Arg}\left({z}\right)=\pi−\mathrm{tan}^{−\mathrm{1}} \mathrm{2}+\mathrm{ln}\:\sqrt{\mathrm{5}}\approx\mathrm{2}.\mathrm{839} \\ $$
