Abstract

Let H\mathcal{H} be the class of all analytic self-maps of the open unit disk D\mathbb{D}. Denote by Hnf(z)H^n f(z) the nn-th order hyperbolic derivative of fHf\in \mathcal H at zDz\in \mathbb{D}. For z0Dz_0\in \mathbb{D} and γ=(γ0,γ1,,γn1)Dn\gamma = (\gamma_0, \gamma_1 , \ldots , \gamma_{n-1}) \in {\mathbb D}^{n}, let H(γ)={fH:f(z0)=γ0,H1f(z0)=γ1,,Hn1f(z0)=γn1}{\mathcal H} (\gamma) = \{f \in {\mathcal H} : f (z_0) = \gamma_0,H^1f (z_0) = \gamma_1,\ldots ,H^{n-1}f (z_0) = \gamma_{n-1} \}. In this paper, we determine the variability region V(z0,γ)={f(n)(z0):fH(γ)}V(z_0, \gamma ) = \{ f^{(n)}(z_0) : f \in {\mathcal H} (\gamma) \}, which can be called ``the generalized Schwarz-Pick Lemma of nn-th derivative". We then apply the generalized Schwarz-Pick Lemma to establish a nn-th order Dieudonn\'e's Lemma, which provides an explicit description of the variability region {h(n)(z0):hH,h(0)=0,h(z0)=w0,h(z0)=w1,,h(n1)(z0)=wn1}\{h^{(n)}(z_0): h\in \mathcal{H}, h(0)=0,h(z_0) =w_0, h'(z_0)=w_1,\ldots, h^{(n-1)}(z_0)=w_{n-1}\} for given z0z_0, w0w_0, w1,,wn1w_1,\dots,w_{n-1}. Moreover, we determine the form of all extremal functions.
