The identity theorem says analytic functions agreeing on a set with an interior accumulation point agree throughout a connected domain. Analytic continuation is an analytic function on a larger connected domain agreeing on a nonempty overlap. Factor the denominator as . For , contour closure below giveswith a removable value at ; this entire expression is the continuation. For , the displayed real-axis integral encloses only and equals , so it is not that continuation. Finally only at a boundary point of , so the zeros do not determine ; for example is nonzero and has them all.
