A removable singularity is a singular point of a function
for which it is possible to assign
a complex number in such a way that
becomes analytic.
A more precise way of defining a removable singularity is as a singularity
of a function
about which the function
is bounded. For example, the point
is a removable singularity in the sinc
function
,
since this function satisfies
.
