Order at a Point: Definition and Characterization #
The order of a meromorphic function f
at zโ
, as an element of โค โช {โ}
.
The order is defined to be โ
if f
is identically 0 on a neighbourhood of zโ
, and otherwise the
unique n
such that f
can locally be written as f z = (z - zโ) ^ n โข g z
, where g
is analytic
and does not vanish at zโ
. See MeromorphicAt.order_eq_top_iff
and
MeromorphicAt.order_eq_nat_iff
for these equivalences.
Instances For
The order of a meromorphic function f
at a zโ
is infinity iff f
vanishes locally around
zโ
.
The order of a meromorphic function f
at zโ
equals an integer n
iff f
can locally be
written as f z = (z - zโ) ^ n โข g z
, where g
is analytic and does not vanish at zโ
.
Meromorphic functions that agree in a punctured neighborhood of zโ
have the same order at
zโ
.
Compatibility of notions of order
for analytic and meromorphic functions.
When seen as meromorphic functions, analytic functions have nonnegative order.
Order at a Point: Behaviour under Ring Operations #
We establish additivity of the order under multiplication and taking powers.
The order is additive when multiplying scalar-valued and vector-valued meromorphic functions.
The order is additive when multiplying meromorphic functions.
The order of the inverse is the negative of the order.
The order of a sum is at least the minimum of the orders of the summands.
Helper lemma for MeromorphicAt.order_add_of_unequal_order.
If two meromorphic functions have unequal orders, then the order of their sum is exactly the minimum of the orders of the summands.
Level Sets of the Order Function #
The set where a meromorphic function has infinite order is clopen in its domain of meromorphy.
On a connected set, there exists a point where a meromorphic function f
has finite order iff
f
has finite order at every point.
On a preconnected set, a meromorphic function has finite order at one point if it has finite order at another point.
If the target is a complete space, then the set where a mermorphic function has zero or infinite order is discrete within its domain of meromorphicity.
