We prove that if $\phi$ is an analytic function bounded by 1 on the bidisk and $\tau$ is a point in a face of the bidisk at which $\phi$ satisfies Caratheodory's condition then both $\phi$ and the angular gradient $\nabla\phi$ exist and are…

The Julia quotient measures the ratio of the distance of a function value from the boundary to the distance from the boundary. The Julia-Carath\'eodory theorem on the bidisk states that if the Julia quotient is bounded along some sequence…

Sarason's Hilbert space version of Carath\'eodory-Julia Theorem connects the non-tangential boundary behavior of functions in de Branges-Rovnyak space $H(b)$ with the existence of angular derivatives in the sense of Carath\'eodory for $b$,…

We describe a generalization of the notion of a Hilbert space model of a function $\varphi$ in the Schur-Agler class of the polydisc. This generalization is well adapted to the investigation of boundary behavior of $\varphi$ at a mild…

We give a formula for the Carath\'eodory distance on the Neil parabola, the variety ${z^2=w^3}$ restricted to the bidisk; thus making it the first variety with a singularity to have its Carath\'eodory distance explicitly computed. In…

We characterize two classical types of conformality of a holomorphic self-map of the unit disk at a boundary point - existence of a finite angular derivative in the sense of Carath\'eodory and the weaker property of angle preservation - in…

The classical Julia-Wolff-Caratheodory theorem gives a condition ensuring the existence of the non-tangential limit of both a bounded holomorphic function and its derivative at a given boundary point of the unit disk in the complex plane.…

In this paper we study differentiability properties of the map $T\mapsto\phi(T)$, where $\phi$ is a given function in the disk-algebra and $T$ ranges over the set of contractions on Hilbert space. We obtain sharp conditions (in terms of…

We show that the space of all bounded derivations from the disc algebra into its dual can be identified with the Hardy space $H^1$; using this, we infer that all such derivations are compact. Also, given a fixed derivation $D$, we construct…

We investigate the behavior of a generalized Hilbert space model of a function in the Schur class of the bidisk at singular boundary points that satisfy a growth condition. We examine the relationship between the boundary behavior of Schur…

Given a two-variable function $f$ without critical points and a compact region $R$ bounded by two level curves of $f$, this note proves that the integral over $R$ of the second-order directional derivative of $f$ in the tangential…

We generalize the Bartsch-Li's splitting lemma at infinity for $C^2$-functionals in [2] and some later variants of it to a class of continuously directional differentiable functionals on Hilbert spaces. Different from the previous flow…

We describe a generalization of the notion of a Hilbert space model of a function in the Schur class of the bidisc. This generalization is well adapted to the investigation of boundary behavior at a mild singularity of the function on the…

We will show the central limit theorem for the general one-dimensional lattice where the space of symbols is a compact metric space. We consider the CLT for Lipschitz-Gibbs probabilities and in the proof we use several properties of the…

A well-known conjecture of Caratheodory states that the number of umbilic points on a closed convex surface in ${\mathbb E}^3$ must be greater than one. In this paper we prove this for $C^{3+\alpha}$-smooth surfaces. The Conjecture is first…

Let $U$ be a bounded open subset of the complex plane and let $A_{\alpha}(U)$ denote the set of functions analytic on $U$ that also belong to the little Lipschitz class with Lipschitz exponent $\alpha$. It is shown that if $A_{\alpha}(U)$…

We show that the derivatives in the sense of Fr\'echet and G\^ateaux can be viewed as derivatives oriented towards a star convex set with the origin as center. The resulting oriented differential calculus extends the mean value theorem, the…

The main result of this paper is: {\bf Theorem.} Let $f:\mathbb{R}^k\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ be a $C^{1}$ function, so that $\nabla f$ is locally Lipschitz continuous. Assume moreover that $f$ is $C^2$ near its generalised saddle points. Fix…

Let $f: D \rightarrow \Omega$ be a complex analytic function. The Julia quotient is given by the ratio between the distance of $f(z)$ to the boundary of $\Omega$ and the distance of $z$ to the boundary of $D.$ A classical…

Assume that $f$ is a real $\rho$-harmonic function of the unit disk $\mathbb{D}$ onto the interval $(-1,1)$, where $\rho(u,v)=R(u)$ is a metric defined in the infinite strip $(-1,1)\times \mathbb{R}$. Then we prove that $|\nabla…
