Meromorphic functions on the extended plane
[6/17%]Recall that a divisor of a rational function on is a set , consisting of zeros and poles of (including the point ), counted with their multiplicities . Let and be two rational functions with disjoint divisors. Prove that
Prove that every meromorphic function on is rational.
Let be a function, regular on the set , except for a single simple pole . Prove that if , then is a linear function, i.e., , where , and if , then is a fractional-linear function, i.e., , where , .
Let and be polynomials of degree and , respectively, having no common zeros. Prove that the zeros of the polynomial , and only these points, are poles of the function , and the function has no other singular points in the finite plane. Show that the point is a pole of order of the function if , and a point of regularity if .
Let a meromorphic function have, in , only a finite number of poles (the point may also be a pole). Prove that is a rational function (a ratio of two polynomials) and is represented in the form
where and are, respectively, the principal parts of the Laurent series of the function in the neighborhoods of the points and .
Let an entire function satisfy, in some domain , the condition , where and is an integer. Prove that is a polynomial.
