Let $\Omega$ be a zone, $f_n \in H(\Omega)$, $n=1,2,3,\ldots$ and functions $f_{n}$ don't have zero in $\Omega$ and the chain $(f_n)$ converges uniformly towards $f$ over the complex subset of $\Omega$. Verify that $f$ either doesn't have zeroes inside $\Omega$ or $f(z)=0$, for all $z \in \Omega$.

Welcome to MSE! Please typeset the question clearly. Use $...$ only for wrapping formulas, not complete sentences. – lhf Jul 3 '12 at 12:29
Do you mean uniform convergence over the compact subsets of $\Omega$? – Davide Giraudo Jul 3 '12 at 12:31

zone is probably region, chain is probably sequence. – lhf Jul 3 '12 at 12:33

What have you tried? If this is homework, tag it as such. – lhf Jul 3 '12 at 12:58

... and complex is probably compact. – GEdgar Jul 3 '12 at 14:20

This is called Hurwitz's Theorem. Wikipedia has a (not particularly well-written) webpage on this at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurwitz%27s_theorem_(complex_analysis) It's also in standard textbooks like Ahlfors and so on.
