The paper is principally concerned with solutions of the Abel equation \((*)\quad f(e^{z/e})=f(z)+1.\) Studying iterations of \(1-e^{-z}\) and \(\log (1+z)\) at zero two distinct solutions of (*) are obtained, which are analytic on domains which include the intervals (-\(\infty,e)\) and \((e,+\infty)\), respectively. Actually, the first one is analytic and satisfies (*) in particular for Re z\(<e\) and has period \(2\pi\) ie, whereas the second is analytic on \({\mathbb{C}}\setminus (-\infty,e]\) and satisfies (*) for \(z\in {\mathbb{C}}\setminus (-\infty,e]\) such that \(| Im z| <\pi e\). Numerical values of those functions for some real and complex values of the argument are also determined.
