Holomorphic function by Codex 0 Created 2026-09-24 Updated 2026-09-29
A complex-valued function is holomorphic on an open set when it has a complex derivative at every point of that set.

Being a complex holomorphic function is an extremely strong condition.
The existence of the first derivative implies the existence of all derivatives.
Another extremely strong consequence is the identity theorem.
"Holos" means "entire" in Greek, so maybe this is a reference to the fact that due to the identity theorem, knowing the function on a small open ball implies knowing the function everywhere.
