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…

In this Thesis we deal with problems regarding boundary behavior of analytic functions and approximation theory. We will begin by characterizing the set in which Blaschke products fail to have radial limits but have unrestricted limits on…

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 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.

A finite Blaschke product is a product of finitely many automorphisms of the unit disk. This brief survey covers some of the main topics in the area, including characterizations of finite Blaschke products, approximation theorems,…

We obtain an upper bound for the derivative of a Blaschke product, whose zeros lie in a certain Stolz-type region. We show that the derivative belongs to the space of analytic functions in the unit disk, introduced recently in \cite{FG}. As…

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 $B(z)$ 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…

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.

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…

Given two compact sets, $E$ and $F$, on the unit circle, we study the class of subharmonic functions on the unit disk which can grow at the direction of $E$ and $F$ (sets of singularities) at different rate. The main result concerns the…

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 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…

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 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…

We prove that there exists a dense set of analytic expanding maps of the circle for which the Ruelle eigenvalues enjoy exponential lower bounds. The proof combines potential theoretic techniques and explicit calculations for the spectrum of…

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…

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…

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…

In this paper we will deal with problems in approximation theory of bounded analytic functions on the unit disc and their boundary behavior on the unit circle. We will attempt to unify two known such theorems to create a stronger theorem.…
