    This gives the possibility to extend the well-established theory of complex-differentiable operators, a theory with meany^([sic]) deep results.

    Further it can be shown that the holomorphic function also has a convergent Taylor series, that is, a complex differentiable function is also an analytic function (Section 23.7).

    We can of course regard a function f defined on #92;mathbb#123;R#125;#123;2n#125; as a function defined on #92;mathbb#123;C#125;#123;n#125;. If f is differentiable on #92;mathbb#123;R#125;#123;2n#125;, it is said to be real-differentiable, and if f is differentiable on #92;mathbb#123;C#125;#123;n#125;, it is complex-differentiable. A function is complex-differentiable if and only if it is real-differentiable and the Cauchy-Riemann equations hold.
