An analytic operator-valued function A is an analytic map A: D → L(E, E), where D = D(A) is an open subset of the complex plane C and E = E(A) is a complex Banach space. For such a function A the singular set σ(A) of A is defined as the set of points z ∈ D such that A(z) is not invertible. It is a relatively closed subset of D.
