Statement

Let U⊆ℂU \subseteq \mathbb{C} be an open set and let f:U→ℂf : U \to \mathbb{C} be holomorphic on UU. Then the complex derivative f′f' is holomorphic on UU. Thus, for each n≥1n \ge 1, the nn-th complex derivative f(n)f^{(n)} exists and is holomorphic on UU. As a function of two real variables (x,y)(x, y) with z=x+iyz = x + iy, ff has continuous partial derivatives of all orders on UU.

Remarks

Proof: near each point, ff is the sum of a power series by holomorphic functions are analytic. A power series can be differentiated term by term, and the result is again a power series. There is no real analogue: x↦x∣x∣x \mapsto x |x| is differentiable on ℝ\mathbb{R}, but its derivative 2∣x∣2|x| is not differentiable at 00. The formula for the derivatives gives each f(n)f^{(n)} as a circle integral.
