Analytic functions. Definition A function f is analytic at zo if the following conditions are fulfilled: 1. f is derivable at z0 ; 2. There exists a neighborhood V of zo such that f is derivable at every point of V . Definition A function which is analytic on the whole of C is called an entire function. Teorema A polynomial function is analytic at every point of C , i.e. is an entire function. A rational function is analytic at each point of its domain. Example Let (i.e. Then: , i.e. and C-R equations mean here ). , i.e. Thus, the origin is the only point where f can be derivable and f is nowhere analytic. Example If every point of With , the function f is analytic at we have Thus: ď‚·Cauchy-Riemann equations are verified by the first partial derivatives, and these derivatives are continuous functions on their domain. The function is differentiable at every point of its domain The function f is analytic at every point of Example Let , i.e. and We have: Thus, Cauchy-Rieman equations are verified if, and only if, , i.e. . It follows that can be derivable only . For any point on the line whose equation is on this line, every non empty open ball centered at has points out of the line, therefore analytic anywhere (see Figure ). cannot be Figure: Why a function is nowhere analytic
