SUMMARY
The discussion centers on determining the existence of an analytic function F(z) given its derivative F'(z) in a specified area. It is established that if F'(z) is analytic, then F(z) should also be analytic; however, complications arise if F'(z) has an antiderivative that includes the natural logarithm function, which is not analytic in the given set. The conclusion emphasizes the necessity of examining the nature of the antiderivative to ascertain the analyticity of F(z).
