Statement

It is possible to have a function f defined on all of R such that f is a locally analytic function everywhere on R but f is not a globally analytic function.

Proof

Consider the function:

f(x):=1x2+1

This is locally analytic everywhere, but not globally analytic. In fact, the radius of convergence of its power series at any point x0 is x02+1.
