If is an isolated essential singularity of an analytic function of a complex variable , then every exceptional value in the sense of E. Picard is an asymptotic value of at . For example, the values and are exceptional and asymptotic values of at the essential singularity . This result of F. Iversen [1] supplements the big Picard theorem on the behaviour of an analytic function in a neighbourhood of an essential singularity.

Comments

Iversen's theorem has been extended to subharmonic functions on , notably by W.K. Hayman, see [a1], [a2].
