By hypothesis 2 to every f > 0 there corresponds an integer N, such
that n > N, implies that
JFn(z) - F(z)I < f
for all z E C. Therefore, for n > N, we have
j Fn(z)dz-j F(z)dz = j[Fn(z)dz-F(z)]dz:::; EL(C)

where L( C) denotes the length of C. This shows that

Corollary 8.1 Suppose that:
1. The functions f n(z) are continuous on C (n = 1, 2, ... ).
- F(z) = E~=l fn(z) uniformly for all z E C.
Then
j F(z)dz= j fi(z)dz+···+ j fn(z)dz+···

Proof Let Fn(z) = fi(z) + · · · + fn(z). Then the functions Fn(z) (n =
1, 2, ... ) are continuous on C, and Fn(z) ~ F(z) for all z E C, so that the
conditions of Theorem 8.1 are satisfied. Hence,

Corollary 8.2 Suppose that:
- The functions fn(z) are analytic on a simply connected region R.
- F(z) = E~=l fn(z), the convergence being uniform on compact subsets
of R.
Then F( z) is analytic in R.
Proof Let C be any closed contour in R. By Corollary 8.1 we have
j F(z) dz= f j fn(z) dz
