It is going to be a silly question, but i'm a bit unsure:

If we know that the function f(z) is analytical in D = {z: |z|<1} is it true that it is analytical in the closure of
D^ = {z: |z|<=1} ?

Well, it must at least be _defined_ on D^.

As far as i understand if f iz analytical at every point z from D, then
it is analytical in some neighborhood of z, and these neighborhoods cover
the unit circle D^.
Where am i wrong?

The assertion "these neighborhoods cover the unit circle D^" is false.
For each _z_ in D, consider the open disk centered at _z_ with radius
equal to the distance r_z from _z_ to the circle { w | |w| = 1 }. Then
each disk D(z,r_z) is a neighborhood of _z_, but their union is just D
itself.
