- Looman–Menchoff theorem
In the mathematical field of
complex analysis , the Looman–Menchoff theorem states that a continuous complex-valued function defined in anopen set of thecomplex plane isholomorphic if and only if it satisfies theCauchy-Riemann equations . It is thus a generalization of Goursat's theorem, which in addition to assuming the continuity of "f", also supposes its Fréchet differentiability when regarded as a function from a subset of R2 to R2.A complete statement of the theorem is as follows:
* Let Ω be an open set in C and "f" : Ω → C a continuous function. Suppose that the
partial derivative s and exist everywhere in Ω. Then "f" is holomorphic if and only if it satisfies the Cauchy-Riemann equation:::References
