Let be compact and contained in . For , , hence uniformly on . The tail is therefore absolutely and uniformly convergent by the Weierstrass M-test. Its finitely many remaining summands are holomorphic on a neighborhood of .
The theorem that a locally uniform limit of holomorphic functions is holomorphic now proves that the sum is analytic on . Absolute convergence also permits a shift of the integer index:
Thus the function has period one.
