Carath\'eodory functions, i.e. functions analytic in the open upper half-plane and with a positive real part there, play an important role in operator theory, $1D$ system theory and in the study of de Branges-Rovnyak spaces. The Herglotz…
Using results from theory of operators on a Hilbert space, we prove approximation results for matrix-valued holomorphic functions on the unit disc and the unit bidisc. The essential tools are the theory of unitary dilation of a contraction…
A Herglotz function is a holomorphic map from the open complex unit disk into the closed complex right halfplane. A classical Herglotz function has an integral representation against a positive measure on the unit circle. We prove a free…
The Herglotz representation theorem for holomorphic functions with non-negative real part is a fundamental result in the theory of holomorphic functions. In this paper, we reinterpret the Herglotz representation in the context of modern…
In this paper a quaternionic sharp version of the Carath\'{e}odory theorem is established for slice regular functions with positive real part, which strengthes a weaken version recently established by D. Alpay et. al. using the Herglotz…
Inner functions are the backbone of holomorphic function theory. This paper studies the inner functions on quotient domains of the open unit polydisc, $\bD^d$, arising from the group action of finite pseudo-reflection groups. Such quotient…
In this paper, the class of (complex) quasi-Herglotz functions is introduced as the complex vector space generated by the convex cone of ordinary Herglotz functions. We prove characterization theorems, in particular, an analytic…
Recently, Charpentier showed that there exist holomorphic functions $f$ in the unit disk such that, for any proper compact subset $K$ of the unit circle, any continuous function $\phi$ on $K$ and any compact subset $L$ of the unit disk,…
We discuss transfer-function realization for multivariable holomorphic functions mapping the unit polydisk or the right polyhalfplane into the operator analogue of either the unit disk or the right halfplane (Schur/Herglotz functions over…
We return to Takagi's variational principle, generalized after forty years to two complex variables by Pfister. Both isolating some extremal rational functions associated to a bounded holomorphic function in the unit disk, respectively the…
We provide a comprehensive analysis of matrix-valued Herglotz functions and illustrate their applications in the spectral theory of self-adjoint Hamiltonian systems including matrix-valued Schr\"odinger and Dirac-type operators. Special…
In this note we revive a transformation that was introduced by H. S. Wall and that establishes a one-to-one correspondence between continued fraction representations of Schur, Carath\'eodory, and Nevanlinna functions. This transformation…
By means of the property of effective local connectivity, the computability of finding the Carath\'eodory extension of a conformal map of a Jordan domain onto the unit disk is demonstrated.
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 this paper, we will establish the inequivalence of closed balls and the closure of open balls under the Carath\'{e}odory metric in some planar domains of finite connectivity greater than $2$, and hence resolve a problem posed by…
For arbitrary $n$ complex numbers $a_{\nu-1}$, $\nu=1,\dots,n$, where $n$ is sufficiently large, we get the representation in the form of power sums: $a_{\nu-1}=\lambda_1^\nu+\dots+\lambda_{2n+1}^\nu$, where $\lambda_k$ are distinct points,…
In this paper we present a proof of Hartogs' extension theorem, following T. Sobieszek's paper from 2003. Hartogs' theorem provides a large class of domains where holomorphic functions have analytic continuation to larger domains, and is "a…
We describe recent nonlinear analytic approximation tools in the classical setting of Hardy spaces in the upper half plane and show how to transfer them to the higher dimensional real setting of harmonic functions in upper half spaces. It…
We prove representation theorems for Carath\'eodory functions in the setting of Banach spaces.
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…
