Felice Casorati (mathematician)
Felice
Casorati
was an
Italian mathematician
who studied at the
University of Pavia
. He was born in
Pavia
and
died
in
Casteggio
.
He is
best
known for the
Casorati–Weierstrass theorem
in
complex analysis
. The
theorem
, named for Casorati and
Karl Theodor Wilhelm Weierstrass
, describes the
remarkable
behavior
of
holomorphic functions
near
essential singularities
.
The Casorati
matrix
is
useful
in the study of
linear difference equations
, just as the
Wronskian
is useful with
linear differential equations
. It is calculated based on n
functions
of the
single input
variable.
Works
, available at
Gallica
. Freely available
copies
of
volume 1
of his best-known
monograph
, the only one ever
published
.
