Statement

Let U⊆ℂU \subseteq \mathbb{C} be an open set and let f:U→ℂf : U \to \mathbb{C} be holomorphic on UU. Let c∈Uc \in U and r>0r > 0 be such that the open disc D={z:∣z−c∣<r}D = \{z : |z - c| < r\} is contained in UU. Then there are complex numbers a0,a1,a2,…a_0, a_1, a_2, \dots such that the power series ∑n≥0an(z−c)n\sum_{n \ge 0} a_n (z - c)^n converges to f(z)f(z) for each z∈Dz \in D. For each ρ\rho with 0<ρ<r0 < \rho < r, the coefficients are an=12πi∮∣z−c∣=ρf(z)(z−c)n+1 dz.a_n = \frac{1}{2 \pi i} \oint_{|z - c| = \rho} \frac{f(z)}{(z - c)^{n+1}} \, dz. In particular, ff is analytic on UU: near each point of UU, ff is the sum of a convergent power series.

Remarks

Proof idea: in Cauchy's integral formula, expand 1z−a\frac{1}{z - a} as a geometric series in a−cz−c\frac{a - c}{z - c}, and integrate term by term. The radius of convergence of the Taylor series at cc is at least the distance from cc to the boundary of UU. For example, the Taylor series of 1/(1−z)1/(1 - z) at 00 has radius 11, the distance from 00 to the point 11 where the function is not defined. The converse is also true: power series are holomorphic in their disc of convergence.
