- Dear Mr. McCULLOUGH,
-
-
- I should say that you were THE ONLY PERSON WHO CORRECTLY UNDER-
- STOOD MY PROOF OF FUNDAMENTAL THEOREM OF ALGEBRA.
-
- Your reasoning in your last posting - is absolutely correct.
-
- As far as your question is concerned, an answer can be given by
- the so called Casorati-Weierstrass Theorem (you can find it in almost
- every textbook on Complex Analysis) it says:
-
- "In every neighborhood of an isolated essential singularity of an
- analytic function, the latter comes arbitrarily close to every complex
- number. Hence has no limit at that singularity".
-
-
-
- Below, I am writing ONLY and ONLY FOR YOU (I will not answer any remarks
- if someone other than you reads and makes them), because you understand
- beautiful, exciting reasoning and analogies:
-
- If you want to have a feel for your question (just a feel, no rigor,
- just a subconscious feeling, vague, but extremely profound) consider
- linear functions (even in Real Analysis) in one variable of simplest form,
- say,
-
- b f(z) = z
-
- Now, if b = 0 (yes, if b = 0) then z = 0 can be considered
-
- as an essential singularity of f(z). But then
-
- 0 f(z) = 0
-
- is satisfied by any value of f(z). Thus, in this particular case not only
- at the point of essential singularity f(z) becomes as close as you
- wish to any complex number, but actually assumes every complex number and
- consequently does not have any limit at O !
- (it behaves worse than stated in Picard's Theorem which allows at most one
- exceptional value). THIS IS ONLY FOR YOU.
-
- With best wishes and regards,
- Alexander Abian
