(mathematics)

For a complex analytic function in a closed bounded simply connected region its modulus assumes its maximum value on the boundary of the region.

Hence, by the maximum modulus principle, 1/[f.sub.n] [right arrow] 1/[f.sub.0] on whole D.

Thus by [f.sub.n] [right arrow] 0 on D \ E and the maximum modulus principle, [f.sub.n] [right arrow] 0 uniformly on F.

Furthermore, an analog of the maximum modulus principle holds (see [7]).

As in the complex case, the quaternionic Phragmen-Lindelof principle generalizes the maximum modulus principle 2.6 to unbounded domains.

As a consequence of points 1-4, [MATHEMATICAL EXPRESSION NOT REPRODUCIBLE IN ASCII] for all [q.sub.0] [member of] [[partial derivative].sub.[infinity]][OMEGA]' and, by an easy application of the maximum modulus principle 2.6, [absolute value of [[omega].sup.[delta].sub.r] f] [less than or equal to] max {M, [M.sub.r], N} in [OMEGA]'.

As before, the maximum modulus principle 2.6 yields that [[omega].sup.[delta].sub.r] f must be constant.
