This article gives the statement, and possibly proof, of a basic fact in complex analysis.

Statement

Suppose UC is a domain and f:UC is a complex-analytic function: for every point z0U, there exists a real number r>0 and a power series n=0an(zz0)n such that the power series converges and agrees with f in the ball of radius r.

Then, f is a holomorphic function: it is complex-differentiable, and the complex differential is a continuous function. In fact, f is differentiable infinitely often.

Facts used

  1. Power series is infinitely differentiable in disk of convergence

Proof

The proof follows directly from fact (1).
