This paper complements the work done on simultaneous approximation results in classical Banach spaces, by focusing on approximation by finite Blaschke products. We prove the existence of a finite Blaschke product that approximates a…

We show that the modulus of an inner function can be uniformly approximated in the unit disk by the modulus of an interpolating Blaschke product.

We show that on separable Banach spaces admitting a separating polynomial, any uniformly continuous, bounded, real-valued function can be uniformly approximated by Lipschitz, analytic maps on bounded sets.

We obtain an estimate for uniform approximation rate of bounded analytic in the unit disk functions by logarithmic derivatives of $C$-polynomials, i.e., polynomials, all of whose zeros lie on the unit circle $C:|z|=1$.

In this paper we will deal with problems in approximation theory of bounded analytic functions on the unit disc and their boundary behavior on the unit circle. We will attempt to unify two known such theorems to create a stronger theorem.…

On a compact subset of the plane with connected complement, is it possible to uniformly approximate a continuous function, holomorphic and non-vanishing on the interior, with polynomials non-vanishing on the entire compact set? In this…

It is well known that a ramified holomorphic covering of a closed unitary disc by another such a disc is given by a finite Blaschke product. The inverse is also true. In this note we give an explicit description of holomorphic ramified…

We investigate asymptotic polynomial approximation for a class of weighted Bloch functions in the unit disc. Our main result is a structural theorem on asymptotic polynomial approximation in the unit disc, in the flavor of the classical…

Let $\mathbb{D}$ be the unit disk in the complex plane. Among other results, we prove the following curious result for a finite Blaschke product: $$B(z)=e ^{is}\prod_{k=1}^d \frac{z-a_k}{1-z \overline{a_k}}.$$ The Lebesgue measure of the…

We consider the classical problem of maximizing the derivative at a fixed point over the set of all bounded analytic functions in the unit disk with prescribed critical points. We show that the extremal function is essentially unique and…

We obtain an upper bound for the derivative of a Blaschke product, whose zeros lie in a certain Stolz-type region. We show that the derivative belongs to the space of analytic functions in the unit disk, introduced recently in \cite{FG}. As…

We prove a variant of the Mergelyan approximation theorem that allows us to approximate functions that are analytic and nonvanishing in the interior of a compact set K with connected complement, and whose interior is a Jordan domain, with…

For Banach spaces of analytic functions on the disc for which the polynomials are dense and their pointt evaluations continuous, we prove the following: If they contain a function such that the limit superior of its modulus is infinite…

In this survey, we use (more or less) elementary means to establish the well-known result that for any given smooth multivariate function, the respective multivariate Bernstein polynomials converge to that function in all derivatives on…

We give a survey of results on zero distribution and factorization of analytic functions in the unit disc in classes defined by the growth of $\log|f(re^{i\theta})|$ in the uniform and integral metrics. We restrict ourself by the case of…

We prove some results on when functions on compact sets $K \subset \mathbb C$ can be approximated by polynomials avoiding values in given sets. We also prove some higher dimensional analogues. In particular we prove that a continuous…

We give a necessary and sufficient condition for the convergence of an infinite product of rational inner functions on the polydisk, and explore generalization to the polydisk of Malmquist- Takenaka bases and various versions of unwinding

A finite Blaschke product is a product of finitely many automorphisms of the unit disk. This brief survey covers some of the main topics in the area, including characterizations of finite Blaschke products, approximation theorems,…

In this survey paper, we discuss the problem of characterizing the critical sets of bounded analytic functions in the unit disk of the complex plane. This problem is closely related to the Berger-Nirenberg problem in differential geometry…

On any metric space, I provide an intrinsic characterization of those complex-valued functions which are uniform limits of Lipschitz functions. There are applications to function theory on complete Riemannian manifolds and, in particular,…
