The uniqueness theorem makes functions well defined. It states
Letand
be analytic on a region
and suppose that
agrees with
on a set
where
has a limit point in
then
on
Ifhas a limit point in
then there are an infinite number of distinct points in
where
Example: Ifand
prove that
Letbe an analytic function on
such that
The setand has a limit point
Furthermore ifthen
so thaton
All the conditions of the uniqueness theorem are satisfied so thaton
