zeroes of analytic functions are isolated
The zeroes of a non-constant analytic function on are isolated.Let be an analytic functiondefined in some domain andlet for some . Because is analytic,there is a Taylor series
expansion for around whichconverges on an open disk . Write it as, with and ( is the first non-zero term).One can factor the series so that and define so that .Observe that is analytic on .
To show that is an isolated zero of ,we must find so that is non-zero on .It is enough to find so that is non-zeroon by the relation .Because is analytic, it is continuous at .Notice that ,so there exists an so that for all with it follows that .This implies that is non-zero in this set.
