[Math] Uniform convergence on each compact subset implies uniform convergence in the whole open set for analytic functions

complex-analysisreal-analysis

Given an open region $D$, a sequence of functions $\{f_n\}$ analytic on $D$, and a function $f$ such that $\{f_n\}$ converges to $f$ uniformly on every compact subset of $D$, then the function $f$ is itself analytic.

Why is this true? Does it have something to do with the analyticity?

Best Answer

Uniform convergence on all of $D$ is not implied. However, being analytic is a local property, so since the functions converge uniformly in a neighborhood of each point, the limit is locally holomorphic and thus holomorphic.
