Edit: original question (paraphrase) :
Suppose fn(z) is a sequence of analytic functions on the unit disk which converge uniformly on compact subsets to a non-zero function f. If each fn has at most m zeroes (counting multiplicity), show that f has at most m zeroes.
Do you know Hurwitz's theorem? It basically comes from the argument principle.

Yes that's right; it's possible for some of the zeroes to wander off, as the example
fk(z) = z-1+1/k
shows. But they can't suddenly appear in the limit. If f had more than n zeros, we could fix a radius r < 1 within which f had more than n zeros, and eventually the fk would have the same number of zeros in that disk, a contradiction.

Sure, just take fn(z) = zk(z - (1-1/n))m-k.
Quote:| i tried,, for k=0 we can take f_n(z)= (z^m)/n - 1/n^2 this has m roots in B(0,1), and f(z)=0 has zero roots, but in general ?? |

The zero function does not have zero roots!

Hello Eigenray,
Was there somebody else here, or are you having a talk with your imaginary friend?

the problem was to find a sequnce of analytic functions as indicated above, and I was wondering that the sequence given by Mr. Eigenray has exactly m zeros inside B(0,1) not at least m zeros.

If it has exactly m zeros then it also has at least m zeros. I suppose you could give it m+1 zeros if you really wanted to.
