The main stimulus to the development of the theory has come from the study of meromorphic functions in the neighborhood of an isolated essential singularity. The theorems of Weierstrass and Picard form the first important results in this area. Before stating these theorems we define the cluster set C(f,zo) at a point zo for a function f(z) defined in a domain D, zo &isin; D&macr;, where D&macr; denotes the closure of D.application/pdfengCopyright is held by the author, unless otherwise indicated.
