Definition df-logb 15180

Description: Define the log_b operator. This is the logarithm generalized to an arbitrary base. It can be used as (𝐵 log_b 𝑋) for "log base B of X". In the most common traditional notation, base B is a subscript of "log". The definition will only be useful where 𝑥 is a positive real apart from one and where 𝑦 is a positive real, so the choice of (ℂ ∖ {0, 1}) and (ℂ ∖ {0}) is somewhat arbitrary (we adopt the definition used in set.mm).
