meromorphic extension


Let AB and f:A be analytic. A meromorphic extension of f is a meromorphic function g:B such that g|A=f.

The meromorphic extension of an analytic function to a larger domain (http://planetmath.org/Domain) is unique; i.e. (http://planetmath.org/Ie), using the above notation, if h:B has the property that h|A=f, then g=h on B.

Occasionally, an analytic function and its meromorphic extension are denoted using the same notation. A common example of this phenomenon is the Riemann zeta functionDlmfDlmfMathworldPlanetmath.
