  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.
Thus, this function is not meromorphic in the whole complex plane.

A meromorphic function is a function that is holomorphic everywhere on the complex plane except at points in a set of isolated poles, which are certain well-behaved singularities.
Every meromorphic function can be expressed as the ratio between two entire functions (with the denominator not constant 0): 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 from the complex plane to the Riemann sphere which is not constant ∞.

 Cousin problems - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mathematics, the Cousin problems are two questions in several complex variables, concerning the existence of meromorphic functions that are specified in terms of local data.
The attack on this problem by means of taking logarithms, to reduce it to the additive problem, meets an obstruction in the form of the first Chern class; and this implies that it cannot always be solved on a Stein manifold M unless the cohomology group
In terms of sheaf theory, these problems can be expressed via quotient sheaves: of the sheaf of meromorphic functions modulo holomorphic functions, for the first problem, and for the sheaf of non-vanishing meromorphic functions modulo non-vanishing holomorphic functions, in the second case.

A meromorphic function is a complex function that is analytic everywhere except for possibly a discrete subset of its domain, that is, except at some, possibly infinitely many, points.
Here is the definition given by the CRC Concise Encyclopedia of Mathematics: A meromorphic function is complex analytic in all but a discrete subset of its domain, and at those singularities it must go to infinity like a polynomial (i.e., have no essential singularities).
An equivalent definition of a meromorphic function is a complex analytic map to the Riemann Sphere.

The field of meromorphic functions on $T$ can be identified with the field of doubly-periodic functions on $\C$, which in turn can be generated by the Weierstra\ss\ $\wp$ function and its derivative $\wp'$ subject to the relation $$\wp'(z,\tau)^2=4\wp(z,\tau)^3-g_2(\tau)\wp(z,\tau)-g_3(\tau)\.\tag 3-1$$ Here everything depends on the lattice parameter $\tau $.
The field of meromorphic function on the torus corresponds to the field of rational functions on the curve $E$ $$\C(X)[Y]/\big(Y^2-f(X)\big), \quad f(T)=4(T-e_1)(T-e_2)(T-e_3)\.\tag 3-7$$ Every meromorphic function on the torus can be described as a rational function (i.e.
A function $f$ is called regular on a subset of the curve $E$ if $f$ can be given as quotient of polynomials such that the the denominator polynomial does not vanish on $E$.

Assuming that the size of a generation of a population depends solely on the size of the previous generation and may thus be expressed as a function of it, questions concerning the further development of the population reduce to iteration of this function.
From this point of view, the iteration theory of entire functions and of meromorphic functions with one pole which is an omitted value is quite different from that of general meromorphic functions, which have at least two poles or only one pole which is not omitted.
For transcendental functions, $\Si(f^{-1})$ may of course be infinite (and simple examples like $f(z)=e^z+z+1$ or $f(z)=e^z+z+2$ show that there may, in fact, be infinitely many cycles of immediate attractive basins and Leau domains), but for a rational function $f$ of degree $d$ there are at most $2d-2$ singularities of $f^{-1}$.

Recall that we proved that a meromorphic function on the sphere was a rational function, and hence, the sum of the orders of the zeros (including those at oo) equals the sum of the orders of the poles (including those at oo).
However, it is valid for a meromorphic 1 form rather than a meromorphic function.
For any nonconstant meromorphic function f on a compact Riemann surface, the sum of the orders of the zeros of f equals the sum of the orders of the poles of f.

 Elliptic Curves and Modular Functions
Modular and elliptic functions are both special cases of the concept of an automorphic function, which is a meromorphic function of 1 or more complex variables defined on a particular complex manifold and invariant under a particular group of analytic transformations (symmetries) of the manifold.
the modular functions, are essentially the meromorphic functions on D considered as a Riemann surface by its isomorphism with H/ We have stressed this idea of symmetry because of the way it relates the analytic and geometric properties of an object like a Riemann surface to the algebraic properties of a group.
Thus the elliptic functions are essentially the automorphic functions on the extended complex plane corresponding to the group of translations by two non-collinear values.

For many such series of interest, the corresponding function can be extended to a meromorphic function on the whole plane by a process known as "analytic continuation".

 Weierstrass P-Function
A singularly periodic function p(x) on R which satisfies f(x + nw) = f(x) is determined by the values on the interval [0,w] - the values at 0 and w are the same, so it can be pictured as two endpoints that have been glued together.
By Liouville's theorem, a meromorphic function which is bounded on all of C must be a constant.
To set the stage for an important fact, since a meromorphic function (analytic in nature, except at a discrete set of points were it has singularity - or poles - everywhere else it is differentiable) can only have finitely many poles.
