Quantitative estimates are obtained for the (finite) valence of functions analytic in the unit disk with Schwarzian derivative that is bounded or of slow growth. A harmonic mapping is shown to be uniformly locally univalent with respect to…

For analytic functions in the unit disk, general bounds on the Schwarzian derivative in terms of Nehari functions are shown to imply uniform local univalence and in some cases finite and bounded valence. Similar results are obtained for the…

We study locally univalent functions $f$ analytic in the unit disc $\mathbb{D}$ of the complex plane such that $|{f"(z)/f'(z)}|(1-|z|^2)\leq 1+C(1-|z|)$ holds for all $z\in\mathbb{D}$, for some $0<C<\infty$. If $C\leq 1$, then $f$ is…

It is shown (Theorem A and its corollary) that if g is any nonconstant nonunivalent analytic function on a half-plane H and if D is either a half-plane or a smoothly bounded Jordan domain, then there is a function f on D for which f'(D)…

We prove that if the Schwarzian norm of a given complex-valued locally univalent harmonic mapping $f$ in the unit disk is small enough, then $f$ is, indeed, globally univalent and can be extended to a quasiconformal mapping in the extended…

Let ${\mathcal S}$ be the class of all functions $f$ that are analytic and univalent in the unit disk $\ID$ with the normalization $f(0)=f'(0)-1=0$. Let $\mathcal{U} (\lambda)$ denote the set of all $f\in {\mathcal S}$ satisfying the…

Let $\mathcal{S}_H^0$ denote the class of all functions $f(z)=h(z)+\overline{g(z)}=z+\sum^\infty_{n=2} a_nz^n +\overline{\sum^\infty_{n=2} b_nz^n}$ that are sense-preserving, harmonic and univalent in the open unit disk $|z|<1$. The…

Investigating a problem posed by W. Hengartner (2000), we study the maximal valence (number of preimages of a prescribed point in the complex plane) of logharmonic polynomials, i.e., complex functions that take the form $f(z) = p(z)…

Let ${\mathcal S}$ denote the set of all univalent analytic functions $f(z)=z+\sum_{n=2}^{\infty}a_n z^n$ on the unit disk $|z|<1$. In 1946 B. Friedman found that the set $\mathcal S$ of those functions which have integer coefficients…

Let $f=h+\overline{g}$ be a harmonic univalent map in the unit disk $\mathbb{D}$, where $h $ and $g$ are analytic. We obtain an improved estimate for the second coefficient of $h$. This indeed is the first qualitative improvement after the…

A normalized analytic function f is shown to be univalent in the open unit disk D if its second coefficient is sufficiently small and relates to its Schwarzian derivative through a certain inequality. New criteria for analytic functions to…

Let $f$ be a complex-valued harmonic mapping defined in the unit disk $\mathbb D$. We introduce the following notion: we say that $f$ is a Bloch-type function if its Jacobian satisfies $$ \sup_{z\in\mathbb D}(1-|z|^2)\sqrt{|J_f(z)|}<\infty.…

Let $\mathcal{A}$ denote the set of all analytic functions $f$ in the unit disk $\ID=\{z:\,|z|<1\}$ of the form $f(z)=z+\sum_{n=2}^{\infty}a_nz^n.$ Let $\mathcal{U}$ denote the set of all $f\in \mathcal{A}$, $f(z)/z\neq 0$ and satisfying…

The valence of a function f at a point $z_0$ is the number of distinct, finite solutions to $f(z) = z_0.$ In this paper, we bound the valence of complex-valued harmonic polynomials in the plane for some special harmonic polynomials of the…

For normalized harmonic functions $f(z)=h(z)+\bar{g(z)}$ in the open unit disk $\mathbb{U}$, a sufficient condition on $h(z)$ for $f(z)$ to be $p$-valent in $\mathbb{U}$ is discussed. Moreover, some interesting examples and images of $f(z)$…

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…
