Weierstrass factorization theorem


There are several different statements of this theorem, but in essence this theorem will allow us to prescribe zeros and their orders of a holomorphic functionMathworldPlanetmath. It also allows us to factor any holomorphic function intoa product of zeros and a non-zero holomorphic function. We will need to knowhere how an infinite product converges. It can then be shownthat if k=1fk(z) converges uniformly and absolutely (http://planetmath.org/AbsoluteConvergenceOfInfiniteProduct)on compact subsets, then it converges to a holomorphic function given that all the fk(z) are holomorphic. This is what we will by the infinite product in what follows.

Note that once we can prescribe zeros of a function then we can also prescribe the poles as well and get a meromorphic function just by dividingtwo holomorphic functions f/h where f will contribute zeros, andh will make poles at the points where h(z)=0. So let’s start with the existence statement.

Theorem (Weierstrass Product).

Let GC be a domain, let {ak} be a sequence ofpoints in G with no accumulation pointsPlanetmathPlanetmath in G, and let {nk} be anysequence of non-zero integers (positive or negative).Then there exists a functionf meromorphic in G whose poles and zeros are exactly at the points akand the order of the pole or zero at ak is nk(a positive order stands for zero, negative stands for pole).

Next let’s look at a more specific statement with more . Forone let’s start looking at the whole complex plane and further let’s forget about poles for now to make the following formulas simpler.

Definition.

We call

E0(z):=1-z,
Ep(z):=(1-z)ez+12z2++1pzp  for p1,

an elementary factor.

Now note that for some a\\{0}, Ep(z/a) has a zero (zero of order 1) at a.

Theorem (Weierstrass Factorization).

Suppose f be an entire functionMathworldPlanetmath and let {ak} be the zeros of fsuch that ak0 (the non-zero zeros of f). Let m be the order ofthe zero of f at z=0 (m=0 if f does not have a zero at z=0). Thenthere exists an entire function g and a sequence of non-negativeintegers {pk} such that

f(z)=zmeg(z)k=1Epk(zak).

Note that we can always choose pk=k-1 and the product above will converge as needed, but we may be able to choose better pk for specific functions.

Example.

As an example we can try to factorize the function sin(πz), which has zeros at all the integers. Applying the Weierstrass factorization theorem directly we get that

sin(πz)=zeg(z)k=-,k0(1-zk)ez/k,

where g(z) is some holomorphic function. It turns out that eg(z)=π,and rearranging the product we get

sin(πz)=zπk=1(1-z2k2).

This is an example where we could choose the pk=1 for all k and thuswe could then get rid of the ugly parts of the infinite product. For calculations in this example see Conway [1].
