We give a slight generalization of the characterization of finite Blaschke products given in a previous paper. The characterization uses the boundary behaviour of a weighted local hyperbolic distortion of an analytic self-map of the unit…
Let $B(z)$ be a finite Blaschke product of degree $n$. We consider the problem when a finite Blaschke product can be written as a composition of two nontrivial Blaschke products of lower degree related to the condition $% B\circ M=B$ where…
We study the convergence of a sequence of finite Blaschke products of a fix order toward a rotation. This would enable us to get a better picture of a characterization theorem for finite Blaschke products.
A finite Blaschke product, restricted to the unit circle, is a smooth covering map. The maximum and minimum values of the derivative of this map reflect the geometry of the Blaschke product. We identify two classes of extremal Blaschke…
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 present a numerical model for determining a finite Blaschke product of degree $n+1$ having $n$ preassigned distinct critical points $z_1,\dots,z_n$ in the complex (open) unit disk $\mathbb{D}$. The Blaschke product is uniquely determined…
We establish a sharp upper bound for the absolute value of the derivative of the finite Blaschke product, provided that the critical values of this product lie in a given disk.
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…
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…
Let $f$ be an analytic function mapping the unit disk $\D$ to itself. We give necessary and sufficient conditions on the local behavior of $f$ near a finite set of boundary points that requires $f$ to be a finite Blaschke product.
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…
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 give a generalization of the notion of finite Blaschke products from the perspective of generalized inner functions in various reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces. Further, we study precisely how these functions relate to the so-called…
Given $n$ distinct points $t_1,\ldots,t_n$ on the unit circle $\T$ and equally many target values $\f_1,\ldots,\f_n\in\T$, we describe all Blaschke products $f$ of degree at most $n-1$ such that $f(t_i)=\f_i$ for $i=1,\ldots,n$. We also…
We show that every cubic Blaschke product has a unique hyperbolic inflection point in the unit disk and, moreover, this point lies at the hyperbolic midpoint of the two critical points. Using this structure result for cubic Blaschke…
We show that a nonvanishing analytic function on a domain in the unit disc can be approximated by (a scalar multiple of) a Blaschke product whose zeros lie on a prescribed circle enclosing the domain. We also give a new proof of the…
The determination of a finite Blaschke product from its critical points is a well-known problem with interrelations to other topics. Though existence and uniqueness of solutions are established for long, we present several new aspects which…
Rational inner functions are a generalization of finite Blaschke products to several variables. In this article we survey a variety of results about rational inner functions related to interpolation, sums of squares formulas, and boundary…
We derive lower bounds in best rational approximation of given degree to finite Blaschke products, in the Hardy space $H^2$ of the unit disk. We first consider approximation to $z^N$, and then move on to more general Blaschke products whose…
We prove that, for any finite Blaschke product $w=B(z)$ in the unit disk, the corresponding Riemann surface over the $w$--plane contains a one-sheeted disk of the radius $0.5$. Moreover, it contains a unit one-sheeted disk with a radial…
