Algebraic Addition Theorems
Classical Analysis and ODEs
2017-12-29 v3 History and Overview
Abstract
We present a self-contained development of the Weierstrass theory of those analytic functions (single-valued or multiform) which admit an algebraic addition theorem. We review the history of the theory and present detailed proofs of the major theorems.

29 pages; . New material on addition theorems in several complex variables...a description of Juan de Vicente's proof of Weierstrass' theorem...the first such proof published. The section on Fosyth's proof appeared in two places, so we removed one place (section 3.9). Finally we added a section on mathoverflow's help on Forsyth's functional equation. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1212.6119, arXiv:1212.6121 by other authors
