Certain functions of infinite matrices are known to exist.† This gives rise to the following questions:

1. Whether the power series of matrices

has a zero in the field ‡ of infinite matrices, and

2. If f(A) exists for a certain infinite matrix A, is there an infinite matrix B such that

In other words, is there a matrix period for f(A)?

In this paper theorems concerning zeros and periodicity of functions of semi block infinite matrices § (defined below) are established.
