power series generalized to allow negative powers
Cauchy–Riemann equations
system of linear partial differential equations characterizing holomorphic (complex differentiable) functions
pole
isolated singularity of a holomorphic function 𝑓 such that 1/𝑓 has a zero and is holomorphic at the singularity
residue
coefficient of the term of order −1 in the Laurent expansion of a function holomorphic outside a point, whose value can be extracted by a contour integral
bounded function
function or sequence whose possible values form a bounded set

winding number
number of times a curve wraps around a point in the plane
logarithmic derivative
ratio of a function's derivative to the function; d(ln|f(x)|)/dx
Cauchy product
concept in mathematics
essential singularity
isolated singularity that is neither removable nor a pole
Kramers–Kronig relations
relations connecting the real and imaginary parts of any complex function that is analytic in the upper half-plane
asymptotic expansion
series which gives an approximation to a function as the argument tends to some point
isolated singularity
isolated singularity is one that has no other singularities close to it
domain coloring
technique for visualizing complex functions
monodromy
thumb|The imaginary part of the complex logarithm. Trying to define the complex logarithm on \C-\{0\} gives different answers along different paths. This leads to an infinite cyclic monodromy group and a covering of \C-\{0\} by a [[helicoid (an example of a Riemann surface).]]

Hilbert's inequality
inequality applying to sequences of complex numbers
Antiholomorphic function

hyperfunction
In mathematics, hyperfunctions are generalizations of functions, as a 'jump' from one holomorphic function to another at a boundary, and can be thought of informally as distributions of infinite order. Hyperfunctions were introduced by Mikio Sato in 1958 in Japanese, (1959, 1960 in English), building upon earlier work by Laurent Schwartz, Grothendieck and others.
