Casorati-Weierstrass theorem


Given a domain U, aU, and f:U{a} being holomorphic, then a is an essential singularityMathworldPlanetmath of f if and only if the image of any punctured neighborhoodMathworldPlanetmath of a under f is dense in . Put another way, a holomorphic function can come in an arbitrarily small neighborhood of its essential singularity arbitrarily close to any complex value.
