1. There are two well-known theorems on the limit of a bounded function at a point.
Montel's Theorem. Suppose that f (z) is regular for | arg z | ≤ α, | z | ≤ 1, except perhaps at z = 0, and that f(z) is bounded in that region. Suppose also that f(z) → l as z → 0 along arg z = β, where | β | < α. Then f(z) → l as z → 0 uniformly for | arg z | ≤ α − δ for every δ > 0.
