Rouché's theorem


Rouché's theorem, named after Eugène Rouché, states that for any two complex-valued functions f and g holomorphic inside some region K with closed contour , if |g(z)| < |f(z)| on , then f and f + g have the same number of zeros inside K, where each zero is counted as many times as its multiplicity. This theorem assumes that the contour is simple, that is, without self-intersections. Rouché's theorem is an easy consequence of a stronger symmetric Rouché's theorem described below.
