What is the difference between Complex derivative and Complex differentiability? And if they are different how you define Complex derivative? Is it same as definition of complex differentiability?

1If a function is complex differentiable at a point, then it has a complex derivative at that point.... – 2012-08-27

3Same thing basically. A functions is 'complex differentiable' iff it has a complex derivative (over $\mathbb{C}$). Generally the point is that being differentiable over $\mathbb{C}$ is a lot stronger than being differentiable over $\mathbb{R}$. – 2012-08-27

In general, differentiability is the property of having a derivative. The difference is the same as that between the inverse and invertibility.

0the question should be of course: What is the difference between Complex derivative and Complex differentiable? – 2012-08-27

0@alvoutila: Apart from the apparent linguistic difference, there is nothing else. Complex derivative exists for a function if and only if it is complex differentiable. – 2012-08-27
