analytic algebraic function (Definition)

Let $ k$ be a field, and let $ k\{x_1,\ldots,x_n\}$ be the ring of convergent power series in $ n$ variables. An element in this ring can be thought of as a function defined in a neighbourhood of the origin in $ k^n$ to $ k$. The most common cases for $ k$ are $ \mathbb{C}$ or $ \mathbb{R}$, where the convergence is with respect to the standard euclidean metric. These definitions can also be generalized to other fields.

Definition 1   A function $ f \in k\{x_1,\ldots,x_n\}$ is said to be $ k$-analytic algebraic if there exists a nontrivial polynomial $ p \in k[x_1,\ldots,x_n,y]$ such that $ p(x,f(x)) \equiv 0$ for all $ x$ in a neighbourhood of the origin in $ k^n$. If $ k=\mathbb{C}$ then $ f$ is said to be holomorphic algebraic and if $ k=\mathbb{R}$ then $ f$ is said to be real-analytic algebraic or a Nash function.

The same definition applies near any other point other then the origin by just translation.

Definition 2   A mapping $ f \colon U \subset k^n \to k^m$ where $ U$ is a neighbourhood of the origin is said to be $ k$-analytic algebraic if each component function is analytic algebraic.
