I know that for $U \subset _{open} \mathbb{C}$, if a function $f$ is analytic on $U$ and if $f$ can be extended to the whole complex plane, this extension is unique.
Now i am wondering if this is true for real functions. I mean, if $f: \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$, when is it true that there is an analytic $g$ whose restriction to $\mathbb{R}$ coincides with $f$ and also when is $g$ unique.
Surely $f$ needs to be differentiable but this might not be sufficient for existance of such $g$.
edit: I mean, is it easy to see that there is and extension of sine cosine and exponential real functions?
Thanks a lot.
