In summary, the proof shows that the set of poles of a meromorphic function cannot have a limit point, as this would contradict the definition of an isolated point. The same argument can be applied to the set of zeros, showing that they must also be isolated points. This proof is valid and supported by the link provided.

Prove that the zeros and the poles of a meromorphic function dose not have a limit point

Solution:
Let P be the set of the poles of f suppose that it has a limit point.
p is a pole of f so it is an isolated point such that [tex]\lim_{z \rightarrow p} \mid f(z) \mid= \infty [/tex]
from isolated point definition there exist an R>0 such that f is analytic at the set B={z : 0<|z-p|<R }
but B is open and p in B, and B intersect U\{p} is not phi so f is not analytic at B
Contradiction

what about the set of zeros, and is my proof right ?

FAQ: Prove Zeros & Poles of Meromorphic Function Have No Limit Point

What is a meromorphic function?

A meromorphic function is a type of complex-valued function that is defined and continuous everywhere, except for finite number of points where it has poles. It is a combination of a rational function and an analytic function.

What are zeros and poles of a meromorphic function?

Zeros and poles are special points on the complex plane where a meromorphic function takes the value of 0 and infinity, respectively. Zeros are the roots of the rational function component of a meromorphic function, while poles are the points where the analytic function component becomes infinite.

Why is it important to prove that the zeros and poles of a meromorphic function have no limit point?

This proof is important because it guarantees that a meromorphic function has a well-defined and continuous behavior on the entire complex plane, except for a finite number of singularities. This allows for more accurate analysis and application of meromorphic functions in various fields of mathematics and science.

How is the proof of this statement typically approached?

The proof usually involves showing that if a meromorphic function has a limit point for its zeros or poles, then it must also have an infinite number of zeros or poles, which goes against the definition of a meromorphic function. This is usually done through the use of analytic continuation and the properties of holomorphic functions.

Can this statement be extended to other types of functions?

Yes, this statement can be extended to other types of functions such as holomorphic functions, entire functions, and rational functions. However, the proof may differ depending on the specific type of function being considered.
