Fundamental normality test

In complex analysis, a mathematical discipline, the fundamental normality test gives sufficient conditions to test the normality of a family of analytic functions. It is another name for the stronger version of Montel's theorem.

Statement

edit

Let   be a family of analytic functions defined on a domain  . If there are two fixed complex numbers a and b such that for all ƒ ∈   and all x , f(x) ∉ {a, b}, then   is a normal family on  .

The proof relies on properties of the elliptic modular function and can be found here: J. L. Schiff (1993). Normal Families. Springer-Verlag. ISBN 0-387-97967-0.
