simple periodic function

A periodic function of the complex variable all periods of which are integer multiples of a single unique fundamental, or primitive, period , i.e. (). For example, the exponential function is an entire simply-periodic function with fundamental period , and the trigonometric functions and are meromorphic simply-periodic functions with fundamental period .


Comments

More generally, a simply-periodic function on a linear space is a periodic function whose periods are integer multiples of some basic period . A non-constant continuous periodic function of a real variable is necessarily simply-periodic.
