Consider a finite Blaschke product $f$ with $f(0) = 0$ which is not a rotation and denote by $f^n$ its $n$-th iterate. Given a sequence $\{a_n\}$ of complex numbers, consider the series $F(z) = \sum_n a_n f^n(z).$ We show that for any $w…

Let $f$ be an inner function with $f(0)=0$ which is not a rotation and let $f^{n}$ be its $n$-th iterate. Let $\{a_{n}\}$ be a sequence of complex numbers. We prove that the series $\sum a_{n}f^{n}(\xi)$ converges at almost every point…

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…

Given a finite Blaschke product $B$ we prove asymptotically sharp estimates on the $\ell^{\infty}$-norm of the sequence of the Fourier coefficients of $B^{n}$ as $n$ tends to $\infty$. We provide constructive examples which show that our…

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 $B$ be a Blaschke product with zeros $\{a_n\}$. If $B' \in A^p_{\alpha}$ for certain $p$ and $\alpha$, it is shown that $\sum_n (1 - |a_n|)^{\beta} < \infty$ for appropriate values of $\beta$. Also, if $\{a_n\}$ is uniformly discrete…

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.

A well-known problem in holomorphic dynamics is to obtain Denjoy--Wolff-type results for compositions of self-maps of the unit disc. Here, we tackle the particular case of inner functions: if $f_n:\mathbb{D}\to\mathbb{D}$ are inner…

We give a constructive and flexible proof of a result of P. Gorkin and R. Mortini concerning a special finite interpolation problem on the unit circle with interpolating Blaschke products. Our proof also shows that the result can be…

We present a relatively simple inductive proof of the classical Levy-Steinitz Theorem saying that for a sequence $(x_n)_{n=1}^\infty$ in a finite-dimensional Banach space $X$ the set of all sums of rearranged series $\sum_{n=1}^\infty…

Forward iteration of holomorphic self-maps generalizes the iteration of a single function in a natural way. This framework arises in complex dynamics, for instance in the study of wandering domains and in seeking suitable extensions of the…

We consider the interpretation and the numerical construction of the inverse branches of $n$ factor Blaschke-products on the disk and show that these provide a generalization of the $n$-th root function. The inverse branches can be defined…

Let $D$ be an open disk of radius $\le 1$ in $\mathbb C$, and let $(\epsilon_n)$ be a sequence of $\pm 1$. We prove that for every analytic function $f: D \to \mathbb C$ without zeros in $D$, there exists a unique sequence $(\alpha_n)$ of…

We consider a sequence $(p_n)_{n=1}^\infty$ of polynomials with uniformly bounded zeros and $\deg p_1\geq 1$, $\deg p_n\geq 2$ for $n\geq 2$, satisfying certain asymptotic conditions. We prove that the function sequence $\left(\frac{1}{\deg…

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…

In a previous paper we produced a complex iteration of a holomorphic function $\phi$ in the immediate basin of a fixed point whose multiplier is a real number and in between zero and one. We further explore this problem, allowing the…

Let $T:X\to X$ be a compact linear (or more generally affine) operator from a Banach space into itself. For each $x\in X$, the sequence of iterates $T^nx, n=0,1,...$ and its averages $\frac{1}{k}\sum_{k=0}^nT^{k-1}x, n=0,1,...$ are either…

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,…

An elegant but elementary result of Wolff from 1921, when interpreted in terms of Banach algebras, shows that it is possible to find a sequence of distinct characters $\phi_n$ on the disc algebra and an $\ell_1$ sequence of complex numbers…

Given a sequence of complex square matrices, $a_n$, consider the sequence of their partial products, defined by $p_n=p_{n-1}a_{n}$. What can be said about the asymptotics as $n\to\infty$ of the sequence $f(p_n)$, where $f$ is a continuous…
