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…

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…

Let \[ \Gamma = \{(z+w, zw): |z|\leq 1, |w|\leq 1\} \subset \mathbb{C}^2. \] A $\Gamma$-inner function is defined to be a holomorphic map $h$ from the unit disc $\mathbb{D}$ to $\Gamma$ whose boundary values at almost all points of the unit…

We consider power series over the skew field $\mathbb H$ of real quaternions which are analogous to finite Blaschke products in the classical complex setting. Several intrinsic characteriztions of such series are given in terms of their…

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…

Blaschke factorization allows us to write any holomorphic function $F$ as a formal series $$ F = a_0 B_0 + a_1 B_0 B_1 + a_2 B_0 B_1 B_2 + \cdots$$ where $a_i \in \mathbb{C}$ and $B_i$ is a Blaschke product. We introduce a more general…

In this paper we present a geometric proof of the following fact. Let $D$ be a Jordan domain in $\mathbb{C}$, and let $f$ be analytic on $cl(D)$. Then there is an injective analytic map $\phi:D\to\mathbb{C}$, and a polynomial $p$, such that…

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…

Let $f=B_1/B_2$ be a ratio of finite Blaschke products having no critical points on $\partial\mathbb{D}$. Then $f$ has finitely many critical level curves (level curves containing critical points of $f$) in the disk, and the non-critical…

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…

For a circle $ C $ contained in the unit disk, the necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a triangle inscribed in the unit circle and circumscribed about $ C $ is known as Chapple's formula. The geometric properties of…

In this paper, we consider a family of closed planar algebraic curves $\mathcal{C}$ which are given in parametrization form via a trigonometric polynomial $p$. When $\mathcal{C}$ is the boundary of a compact convex set, the polynomial $p$…

Consider the space $\mathcal{F}$ of all inner functions on the unit open disk under the uniform topology, which is a metric topology induced by the $H^{\infty}$-norm. In the present paper, a class of Blaschke products, denoted by…

Several quantities related to the Zernike circle polynomials admit an expression as an infinite integral involving the product of two or three Bessel functions. In this paper these integrals are identified and evaluated explicitly for the…

For each integer $m \geq 1$, we construct a finite-dimensional family of rational maps, given by Blaschke-type products, whose restriction to the unit circle consists of $2m$-multimodal maps. We show that every post-critically finite…

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…

Assuming that $\phi(t)=o(t^2)$ as $t\to0$, we establish a lemma on simultaneous polynomial approximation in Orlicz-Beurling-Sobolev spaces $\ell_a^{\phi}$. These spaces, endowed with the Luxemburg norm $\Vert \cdot \Vert_{\ell^{\phi}}$,…

Given any square matrix or a bounded operator $A$ in a Hilbert space such that $p(A)$ is normal (or similar to normal), we construct a Banach algebra, depending on the polynomial $p$, for which a simple functional calculus holds. When the…
