A boundary of a domain of a holomorphic function is natural if the function has no analytic continuation through any of its points. For f(z)=∑n≥1​z2n, each root of unity of order a power of two is a singular boundary point: along z=rζ all sufficiently late terms equal r2n and their sum tends to infinity as r↑1. These roots are dense on the unit circle, so no boundary arc admits analytic continuation.
