holomorphic function
全纯函数
Meaning in context
A complex-valued function on an open subset of C is holomorphic when its complex difference quotient has a finite limit at every point, with the increment approaching zero through all complex directions.
复平面开集上的复值函数,若每一点的复增量商沿任意方向趋于零时都有同一有限极限,则为全纯函数。
Example
For , the quotient is .
Usage and distinctions
Real differentiability of a map R^2 to R^2 is weaker; complex differentiability requires a complex-linear differential.
