Etymology: From Diedrich Knickerbocker, the pseudonym adopted by Washington Irving for his 1809 A History of New York, probably for the Knickerbackers of Schaghticoke, New York, descended from the Dutch immigrant Harmen Jansen van Bommel(l), who went variously by the names van Wy(y)e, van Wyekycback(e), Kinnekerbacker, Knickelbacker, Knickerbacker, Kinckerbacker, Nyckbacker, and Kynckbacker. The surname is of uncertain etymology, being variously explained as a corruption of Wyekycback, Dutch knacker (“cracker”) + German Bäcker, Dutch bakker (“baker”), or Dutch knicker (“marble (toy)”) + German Bäcker, Dutch bakker.

examples: This gives the possibility to extend the well-established theory of complex-differentiable operators, a theory with meany^([sic]) deep results.
Further it can be shown that the holomorphic function also has a convergent Taylor series, that is, a complex differentiable function is also an analytic function (Section 23.7).
We can of course regard a function f defined on #92;mathbb#123;R#125;#123;2n#125; as a function defined on #92;mathbb#123;C#125;#123;n#125;. If f is differentiable on #92;mathbb#123;R#125;#123;2n#125;, it is said to be real-differentiable, and if f is differentiable on #92;mathbb#123;C#125;#123;n#125;, it is complex-differentiable. A function is complex-differentiable if and only if it is real-differentiable and the Cauchy-Riemann equations hold.
