 Meromorphic function - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In complex analysis, a meromorphic function on an open subset D of the complex plane is a function that is holomorphic on all D except a set of isolated points, which are poles for the function.
Every meromorphic function on D can be expressed as the ratio between two holomorphic functions (with the denominator not constant 0) defined on D: the poles then occur at the zeroes of the denominator.
In the language of Riemann surfaces, a meromorphic function is the same as a holomorphic function that maps to the Riemann sphere and which is not constant ∞.

 Holomorphic function - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Holomorphic functions are the central object of study of complex analysis; they are functions defined on an open subset of the complex number plane C with values in C that are complex-differentiable at every point.
A function that is holomorphic on the whole complex plane is called an entire function.
A complex analytic function of several complex variables is defined to be analytic and holomorphic at a point if it is locally expandable (within a polydisk, a cartesian product of disks, centered at that point) as a convergent power series in the variables.

The integral around a closed path of a function which is holomorphic everywhere inside the area bounded by the closed path is always zero; this is the Cauchy integral theorem.
The remarkable behavior of holomorphic functions near essential singularities is described by the Weierstrass-Casorati theorem.
Sometimes, as in the case of the natural logarithm, it is impossible to analytically continue a holomorphic function to a non-simply connected domain in the complex plane but it is possible to extend it to a holomorphic function on a closely related surface known as a Riemann surface.

 Smooth function article - Smooth function mathematics derivatives continuous function exponential function - ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
For example, the exponential function is evidently smooth because the derivative of the exponential function is the exponential function itself.
Smooth functions with given closed support are used in the construction of smooth partitions of unity (see topology glossary for partition of unity); these are essential in the study of smooth manifolds, for example to show that Riemannian metrics can be defined globally starting from their local existence.
From what has just been said, partitions of unity don't apply to holomorphic functions; their different behaviour relative to existence and analytic continuation is one of the roots of sheaf theory.

A holomorphic function; is that analytic or not?
From what I understand, holomorphic is just another term for analytic (as is regular), the only difference being that people whose field of study is not Mathematics use tend to use analytic, while Mathematicians are more partial to holomorphic.
Well, you could either redefine your set to make the function analytic, or simply say that the function has singular points, (Note: for a point to be singular the function must be analytic in the neighborhood of the singularity) e.g., f(z) = 1/z is analytic everywhere except at the singularity z = 0 + 0i.

This means that if a continuous function is first integrated and then differentiated, the original function is retrieved.
An important consequence of this, sometimes called the second fundamental theorem of calculus, allows one to compute integrals by using an antiderivative of the function to be integrated.
The derivative of this function is equal to the infinitesimal change in x per infinitesimal change in time (of course, the derivative itself is dependent on time).

A Riemann surface is a topological space with a collection of "charts": homeomorphisms phi_i of open subsets of X to open subsets of the complex plane, such that the charts cover X, and wherever two charts overlap, the functions phi_i composed with {phi_j}^{-1} is a holomorphic function.
Rational functions are holomorphic maps from the sphere to itself; the points where the denominator goes to zero but the numerator doesn't get mapped to infinity, and infinity gets mapped to the limit of the function as you approach infinity.

 sciforums.com - Cauchy's Integral Theorem
Now if we have a function which is entire in its domain (is analytic everywhere) say exp(z) or cos(z) or even sec(z), then the contour integral is zero.
a meromorphic function (a holomorphic function everywhere but for a point where it has a simple pole) can be considered a holomorphic funcition on the region with the point of its pole removed.
So for the contour integral of f(z) which is holomorphic (analytic) at each point in and on the contour C, the value of the integral is independent of path along the contour between the two endpoints.

The second shows that not every domain in several variables is the natural domain of existence of a holomorphic function.
Besides using ideas from function theory, several complex variables routinely employs techniques from differential geometry, partial differential equations, harmonic analysis, real analysis, operator theory, geometric measure theory, commutative algebra, Lie group theory, and even mathematical logic.
The purpose of this holomorphic mappings conference was to bring together 35 recognized experts to share recent progress in subject areas that find their roots in Poincar\'{e}'s theorem described above.

(In that expression, Re means the real part of a number.) Bernhard Riemann realized that the zeta function can be extended by analytic continuation in a unique way to a holomorphic function ζ(s) defined for all complex numbers s with s ≠ 1.
It is this function that is the object of the Riemann hypothesis.
The zeros of ζ(s) are important because certain path integrals involving the function ln(1/ζ(s)) can be used to approximate the prime counting function π(x) (see prime number theorem).

 Introduction   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
The objective of the first sections is the relationship between the factorisation of scalar functions and the theory of singular integral equations as far as they are relevant to boundary value problems for holomorphic functions.
Since the kernel has uncountably many singularities, the corresponding operator fails to be compact, but its boundedness can be secured on certain classes of functions and the boundary values are described by the formulas of Sokhotski/Plemelj.
After these preliminaries, these problems will be generalized to matrix valued functions and the matrix Riemann as well as the Riemann-Hilbert problems will be dealt with followed by applications in the theory of differential equations.

The process invests old theorems with new meanings, and bestows upon functional analysis an intriguing class of concrete linear operators.
The setting is the simplest one consistent with serious ``function-theoretic operator theory:'' the unit disc U of the complex plane, and the Hilbert space H^2 of functions holomorphic on U with square summable power series coefficients.
Here our story comes full circle: the crucial inequality on the Counting Function is due to Littlewood, and when reinterpreted it becomes a striking generalization of the Schwarz Lemma.

C has a holomorphic extension to A 0.
In this definition we consider the identity component of A inv rather than A inv since if A inv is not connected the holomorphic function on A inv which is 1 on one of the components and 0 on the others has no holomorphic extension to A 0.
It follows from Theorem 3 given in the next section (or see [12, Theorem 3]) that our definition is no more stringent when the range of f is allowed to be any Banach space.
