Functions of a complex variable Definition
Meromorphic function
Builds on Holomorphic functionPole
Definition
Let be an open set. A function is meromorphic on if there is a set with these properties.
- has no accumulation point in .
- is holomorphic on .
- Each point of is a pole of .
Remarks
Rational functions , with polynomials and , are meromorphic on . So are , and the Gamma function. If is a domain, and are holomorphic on , and is not identically zero, then is meromorphic on . The meromorphic functions on a domain form a field. The function is not meromorphic on , because its singularity at is essential. The set can be infinite. It is countable, and each compact subset of contains only finitely many points of .
