A map from an open subset of to a complex Banach space is holomorphic when the displayed limit exists in the Banach-space norm at every point. A norm-convergent power series is holomorphic inside its radius of convergence: on every smaller disk the series of derivatives converges uniformly by the geometric coefficient bound, allowing differentiation term by term. Applying a continuous linear functional produces an ordinary scalar holomorphic function. Scalar Cauchy identities therefore imply the corresponding vector-integral identities when bounded linear functionals separate points, as they do by the Hahn-Banach theorem.
For a Banach algebra-valued holomorphic function, set . These continuous functions decrease to the spectral radius by the spectral radius formula. If , the continuous functions on decrease to the continuous constant . The Dini theorem gives uniform convergence. Apply the norm maximum principle for a Banach-space-valued holomorphic function to each power, and then let . This proof does not assume continuity of spectral radius.
For a compact set in the domain, a norming bounded linear functional at reduces the assertion to the scalar maximum modulus principle. If lies inside , use its connected component of the interior; that component's boundary lies in . If , the inequality is immediate. No smoothness or connectedness assumption on is required.
