Function $f(z)=z+\sum_{n=2}^{\infty} a_n z^n$, normalized, analytic and univalent in the unit disk $\mathbb D=\{z:|z|<1\}$, belongs to the class $\mathcal{U}$. if, and only if, \[ \left| \left(\frac{z}{f(z)}\right)^2 -1\right|<1 \quad\quad…
This paper extends the Kadison duality between compact convex sets and function systems to the setting of partial convexity. A partially convex set is a set that is convex in a designated set of convex variables when the others are held…
In the article the authors consider the class ${\mathcal H}_0$ of sense-preserving harmonic functions $f=h+\overline{g}$ defined in the unit disk $|z|<1$ and normalized so that $h(0)=0=h'(0)-1$ and $g(0)=0=g'(0)$, where $h$ and $g$ are…
We show that any $(1,2)$-rational function with a unique fixed point is topologically conjugate to a $(2,2)$-rational function or to the function $f(x)={ax\over x^2+a}$. The case $(2,2)$ was studied in our previous paper, here we study the…
Let D^n be the closed unit polydisk in C^n. Consider the ring C_r of complex-valued continuous functions on D^n that are real symmetric, that is, f(z)=(f(z^*))^* for all z in D^n. It is shown that C_r is projective free, that is, finitely…
Let $D$ be a convex subset of a real vector space. It is shown that a radially lower semicontinuous function $f: D\to \mathbf{R}\cup \{+\infty\}$ is convex if and only if for all $x,y \in D$ there exists $\alpha=\alpha(x,y) \in (0,1)$ such…
In this paper we study the class $\mathcal{U}$ of functions that are analytic in the open unit disk ${\mathbb D}=\{z:|z|<1\}$, normalized such that $f(0)=f'(0)-1=0$ and satisfy \[\left|\left [\frac{z}{f(z)} \right]^{2}f'(z)-1…
In this paper, we prove necessary and sufficient conditions for a sense-preserving harmonic function to be absolutely convex in the open unit disk. We also estimate the coefficient bound and obtain growth, covering and area theorems for…
Several results concerning pairs of polynomially convex sets whose union is not even rationally convex are given. It is shown that there is no restriction on how two spaces can be embedded in some $\C^N$ so as to be polynomially convex but…
It is a classical result that every subharmonic function, defined and ${\mathcal{L}}^p$-integrable for some $p$, $0<p<+\infty$, on the unit disk $\mathbb{D}$ of the complex plane ${\mathbb{C}}$ is for almost all $\theta$ of the form $o((1-|…
Let $g \in L^2(\mathbb{R})$ be a rational function of degree $M$, i.e. there exist polynomials $P, Q$ such that $g = {{P} \over {Q}}$ and $deg(P) < deg(Q) \leq M$. We prove that for any $\varepsilon>0$ and any $M \in \mathbb{N}$ there…
The paper gives the following characterization of the disc algebra in terms of the argument principle: A continuous function f on the unit circle T extends holomorphically through the unit disc if and only if for each polynomial P such that…
For a univalent smooth mapping $f$ of the unit disk $\ID$ of complex plane onto the manifold $f(\ID)$, let $d_f(z_0)$ be the radius of the largest univalent disk on the manifold $f(\ID)$ centered at $f(z_0)$ ($|z_0|<1$). The main aim of the…
Let $f$ and $g$ be analytic functions on the open unit disc $\mathbb D$ such that $|f|=|g|$ on a set $A$. We give an alternative proof of the result of Perez that there exists $c$ in the unit circle $\mathbb T$ such that $f=cg$ when $A$ is…
In this paper, we introduce a new subclass of harmonic functions $f=s+\overline{t}$ in the open unit disk $U =\left \{ z\in C:\left \vert z\right \vert <1\right \} $ satisfying ${\text{Re}}\left[ \gamma s^{\prime }(z)+\delta zs^{\prime…
Let $h$ be a harmonic function defined on a spherical disk. It is shown that $\Delta^k |h|^2$ is nonnegative for all $k\in \mathbb{N}$ where $\Delta$ is the Laplace-Beltrami operator. This fact is generalized to harmonic functions defined…
We show that every bounded domain $D$ in $\mathbb R^n$ with smooth $p$-convex boundary for $2\le p < n$ admits a smooth defining function $\rho$ which is $p$-plurisubharmonic on $\overline D$; if in addition $bD$ has no $p$-flat points then…
It is known that the hyperbolic plane admits a countable infinity of compactifications into a closed disk such that the isometric action of SL(2;R) acts analytically on the compactified space. We prove that among those compactifications,…
We extend a classical result of Caughran/Schwartz and another recent result of Gunatillake by showing that if D is a bounded, convex domain in n-dimensional complex space, m is a holomorphic function on D and bounded away from zero toward…
The well-known Zalcman conjecture, which implies the Bieberbach conjecture, states that the coefficients of univalent functions $f(z) = z + \sum\limits_2^{\infty} a_n z^n$ on the unit disk satisfy $|a_n^2 - a_{2n-1}| \le (n-1)^2$ for all $n…
