In complex analysis, an area of mathematics, Montel's theorem refers to one of two theorems about of holomorphic functions. These are named after Paul Montel, and give conditions under which a family of holomorphic functions is normal.
The first, and simpler, version of the theorem states that a uniformly bounded family of holomorphic functions defined on an open subset of the complex numbers is normal.
This theorem has the following formally stronger corollary. Suppose that is a family of meromorphic functions on an open set . If is such that is not normal at , and is a neighborhood of , then is dense in the complex plane.
