  2. Essential singularity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Essential_singularity

    In complex analysis, an essential singularity of a function is a "severe" singularity near which the function exhibits striking behavior. The category essential singularity is a "left-over" or default group of isolated singularities that are especially unmanageable: by definition they fit into neither of the other two categories of singularity ...

  3. Isolated singularity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isolated_singularity

    In complex analysis, a branch of mathematics, an isolated singularity is one that has no other singularities close to it. In other words, a complex number z0 is an isolated singularity of a function f if there exists an open disk D centered at z0 such that f is holomorphic on D \ {z 0}, that is, on the set obtained from D by taking z0 out.

  4. Removable singularity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Removable_singularity

    Removable singularity. In complex analysis, a removable singularity of a holomorphic function is a point at which the function is undefined, but it is possible to redefine the function at that point in such a way that the resulting function is regular in a neighbourhood of that point. For instance, the (unnormalized) sinc function, as defined by.

  5. Zeros and poles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeros_and_poles

    t. e. In complex analysis (a branch of mathematics), a pole is a certain type of singularity of a complex-valued function of a complex variable. It is the simplest type of non- removable singularity of such a function (see essential singularity). Technically, a point z0 is a pole of a function f if it is a zero of the function 1/f and 1/f is ...

  6. Casorati–Weierstrass theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casorati–Weierstrass_theorem

    A short proof of the theorem is as follows: Take as given that function f is meromorphic on some punctured neighborhood V \ {z 0}, and that z 0 is an essential singularity. . Assume by way of contradiction that some value b exists that the function can never get close to; that is: assume that there is some complex value b and some ε > 0 such that ‖ f(z) − b ‖ ≥ ε for all z in V at ...

  7. Singularity (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singularity_(mathematics)

    Singularity (mathematics) In mathematics, a singularity is a point at which a given mathematical object is not defined, or a point where the mathematical object ceases to be well-behaved in some particular way, such as by lacking differentiability or analyticity. [1][2][3] For example, the reciprocal function has a singularity at , where the ...

  8. Milnor number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milnor_number

    Milnor number. In mathematics, and particularly singularity theory, the Milnor number, named after John Milnor, is an invariant of a function germ. If f is a complex-valued holomorphic function germ then the Milnor number of f, denoted μ (f), is either a nonnegative integer, or is infinite. It can be considered both a geometric invariant and ...

  9. Milnor map - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milnor_map

    Furthermore, this compact manifold with boundary, which is known as the Milnor fiber (of the isolated singular point of at the origin), is diffeomorphic to the intersection of the closed (+)-ball (bounded by the small (+)-sphere) with the (non-singular) hypersurface where = and is any sufficiently small non-zero complex number.
