Let $U$ be an open subset of $mathbbC$ and $f_n$ be a sequence of holomorphic functions. Suppose that $f_n$ converges uniformly to a function $f$ on compact subsets of $U$ and that $f$ is not identically zero in $U$ and $f(w)=0$ for some $w in U$.



Prove that there exists $N in mathbbN$ and a sequence $z_n$ such that $f_n(z_n) = 0$ for all $n geq N$ and $lim_n rightarrow inftyz_n = w$.



How can I prove the existence of $z_n$ and $f_n(z_n)$ is exactly 0?
Any idea?

  • Hint: try with Hurwitz's theorem.

Hint: Let $Gamma$ be a circle around $w$ such that $Gamma$ and its interior are in $U$, and $f_n$ is nonzero on $Gamma$. Then $$dfrac12pi i oint_Gamma dfracf_n'(z); dzf_n(z)$$ is the number of zeros of $f_n$ (counted by multiplicity) inside $Gamma$
