We show that a family ${\cal F}$ of meromorphic functions in a domain $D$ satisfying $$\frac{|f^{(k)}|}{1+|f^{(j)}|^\alpha}(z)\ge C \qquad \mbox{for all} z\in D \mbox{and all} f\in {\cal F}$$ (where $k$ and $j$ are integers with $k>j\ge 0$…

We prove that if D is a domain in C, alpha>1 and c>0, then the family F of functions meromorphic in D such that |f'(z)|/(1+|f(z)|^alpha)>c for every z in D is normalin D. For alpha=1, the same assumptions imply quasi-normality but not…

In this article, we consider the family of functions $f$ analytic in the unit disk $|z|<1$ with the normalization $f(0)=0=f'(0)-1$ and satisfying the condition $\big |\big (z/f(z)\big )^{2}f'(z)-1\big |<\lambda $ for some $0<\lambda \leq…

There exists a family $\{B_{\alpha}\}_{\alpha<\omega_1}$ of sets of countable ordinals such that o $\max B_{\alpha}=\alpha$, o if $\alpha\in B_{\beta}$ then $B_{\alpha}\subseteq B_{\beta}$, o if $\lambda\leq \alpha$ and $\lambda$ is a limit…

We show that a family of meromorphic functions in the unit disk $\dk$ whose spherical derivatives are uniformly bounded away from zero is normal. Furthermore, we show that for each $f$ meromorphic in $\dk$ we have $\inf_{z\in\dk} f^#(z)\le…

In the past several subclasses of starlike functions are defined involving real part and modulus of certain expressions of functions under study, combined by way of an inequality. In the similar fashion, we introduce a new class…

Let F be a family of holomorphic functions and let K be a constant less than 4. Suppose that for all f in F the second iterate of f does not have fixed points for which the modulus of the multiplier is greater than K. We show that then F is…

We consider the family of all functions holomorphic in the unit disk for which the zeros lie on one ray while the 1-points lie on two different rays. We prove that for certain configurations of the rays this family is normal outside the…

In this paper, we will consider normality and uniqueness property of a family $\mathcal{F}$ of meromorphic functions when $[Q(f)]^{(k)}$ and $[Q(g)]^{(k)}$ share $\alpha$ ignoring multiplicities, for any $f,g\in \mathcal{F}$, where $Q$ is a…

We study families of analytic and meromorphic functions with bounded generalized Schwarzian derivative $S_k(f)$. We show that these families are quasi-normal. Further, we investigate associated families, such as those formed by derivatives…

The authors lay the foundations for the study of normal families of holomorphic functions and mappings on an infinite-dimensional normed linear space. Characterizations of normal families, in terms of value distribution, spherical…

Schwick, in [6], states that let $\mathcal{F}$ be a family of meromorphic functions on a domain $D$ and if for each $f\in\mathcal{F}$, $(f^n)^{(k)}\neq 1$, for $z\in D$, where $n, k$ are positive integers such that $n\geq k+3$, then…

It is proved that any family of analytic functions with spherical derivative uniformly bounded away from zero ist normal.

Let $\mathcal{A}$ denote the class of analytic functions $f$ in the unit disk $\mathbb{D}=\{z\in\mathbb{C}:|z|<1\}$ normalized by $f(0)=0$, $f'(0)=1$. For $-\pi/2<\alpha<\pi/2$, let $\mathcal{S}_{\alpha}$ be the subclass of $\mathcal{A}$…

We consider the family of all analytic and univalent functions in the unit disk of the form $f(z)=z+a_2z^2+a_3z^3+\cdots$. Our objective in this paper is to estimate the difference of the moduli of successive coefficients, that is $\big |…

We characterize normal families in the unit ball as those families of analytic functions whose restrictions to each complex line through the origin are normal. We then generalize this result to a characterization of normal functions…

The main purpose of this paper is to study the concept of normal function in the context of harmonic mappings from the unit disk $\mathbb{D}$ to the complex plane. In particular, we obtain necessary conditions for that a function $f$ to be…

For a relational structure ${\mathbb X}$ we investigate the partial order $\langle {\mathbb P} ({\mathbb X}) ,\subset \rangle$, where ${\mathbb P} ({\mathbb X}):=\{ f[X]: f\in \mathop{\rm Emb}\nolimits ({\mathbb X})\}$. Here we consider…

Let D be a domain, n, k be positive integers and n >= K+3. Let F be a family of functions meromorphic in D. If each f in F satisfies (f^n)^(k) not equal to 1 for z in D, then F is normal family. This result was proved by Schwick. In this…

Let $G$ be a countable cancellative amenable semigroup and let $(F_n)$ be a (left) F{\o}lner sequence in $G$. We introduce the notion of an $(F_n)$-normal element of $\{0,1\}^G$. When $G$ = $(\mathbb N,+)$ and $F_n = \{1,2,...,n\}$, the…
