Wikipedia说a branch point of a multi-valued function is a point such that if the function is n-valued at that point, all of its neighborhoods contain a point that has more than $n$ values.
MathWorld说A branch point of an analytic function is a point in the complex plane whose complex argument can be mapped from a single point in the domain to multiple points in the range
例如0是$1/z$的奇点, 但不是branch point
例如0是$\sqrt z$的奇点(在0不可导), 且为branch point

MathWorld有一个表格, 在最后一行可见$\sqrt{z}$的branch cut为$(-\infty,0)$, 是不包含0的, 所以说branch cut不一定包含branch point
它还说In addition to branch cuts, singularities known as branch points also exist. It should be noted, however, that the endpoints of branch cuts are not necessarily branch points.
即, branch cut的端点不一定是branch point. |
