Suppose $E$ is a subset of the unit circle $\mathbb{T}$ and $H^\infty\subset L^\infty$ is the Hardy subalgebra. We examine the problem of finding the distance from the characteristic function of $E$ to $z^nH^\infty$. This admits an…
In the Hardy spaces $H^1$ and $H^\infty$, there are neat and well-known characterizations of the extreme points of the unit ball. We obtain counterparts of these classical theorems when $H^1$ (resp., $H^\infty$) gets replaced by the…
We consider an overdetermined problem for Laplace equation on a disk with partial boundary data where additional pointwise data inside the disk have to be taken into account. After reformulation, this ill-posed problem reduces to a bounded…
