We prove a sharp Schwarz-type lemma for meromorphic functions with spherical derivative uniformly bounded away from zero. As a consequence we deduce an improved quantitative version of a recent normality criterion due to Grahl & Nevo and…

We study normality of a family of meromorphic functions, whose differential polynomials satisfy a certain condition, which significantly improves and generalizes some recent results of Chen (Filomat, 31(14) 2017, 4665-4671). Moreover, we…

In this paper we prove some normality criteria for a family of meromorphic functions concerning shared analytic functions, which extend or generalized some result obtained by Y. F. Wang, M. L. Fang~\cite{WF} and J. Qui, T. Zhu ~\cite{QZ}.

Let $\mathcal{A}$ denote the class of analytic functions $f$ on the unit disk $\mathbb{D}=\{z\in\mathbb{C} : |z|<1\}$, normalized by $f(0)=0$ and $f^{\prime}(0)=1$. For $-\pi/2<\alpha<\pi/2$, let $\mathcal{S}_{\alpha}$ be the subclass of…

We consider the Schwarzian derivative $S_f$ of a complex polynomial $f$ and its iterates. We show that the sequence $S_{f^n}/d^{2n}$ converges to $-2(\partial G_f)^2$, for $G_f$ the escape-rate function of $f$. As a quadratic differential,…

The primary objective of this paper is to derive sharp bounds for the norms of the Schwarzian and pre-Schwarzian derivatives in the Ozaki close-to-convex functions $f$, expressed in terms of their value $f^{\prime\prime}(0)$, in particular,…

Let $\mathcal{S}^*(\varphi)$ be the class of all analytic functions $f$ in the unit disk $\mathbb{D}=\{z\in\mathbb{C}:|z|<1\}$, normalized by $f(0)=f'(0)-1=0$ that satisfy the subordination relation $zf'(z)/f(z)\prec\varphi(z)$, where…

Let $A$ be an integral $k$-algebra of finite type over a field $k$ of characteristic zero. Let ${\cal{F}}$ be a family of $k$-derivations on $A$ and $M_{\cal{F}}$ the $A$-module spanned by ${\cal{F}}$. In this paper, we generalize a result…

For every countable ordinal number $\alpha$ we construct an entire function $f=f_\alpha$ such that the family $\left\{f(nz):n\in\mathbb{N}\right\}$ is exactly $Q_\alpha$-normal in the unit disk.

In this article we prove some normality criteria for a family of meromorphic functions which involves sharing of a non-zero value by certain differential monomials generated by the members of the family. These results generalizes some of…

Let F and G be two families of meromorphic functions on a domain D, and let a, b and c be three distinct points in the extended complex plane. Let G be a normal family in D such that all limit functions of G are non-constant. If for each f…

We improve well-known results concerning normal families and shared values of meromorphic functions in the plane. In particular, we obtain two corollaries concerning meromorphic functions $f \colon {\mathbb C} \to {\widehat{\mathbb C}}$: i)…

Given a quaternionic slice regular function $f$, we give a direct and effective way to compute the coefficients of its spherical expansion at any point. Such coefficients are obtained in terms of spherical and slice derivatives of the…

In the paper, we use the idea of normal family to find out the possible solution of the following special case of algebraic differential equation \[P_k\big(z,f,f^{(1)},\ldots, f^{(k)}\big)=f^{(1)}(f-\mathscr{L}_k(f))-\varphi (f-a)(f-b)=0,\]…

A theorem of A. Ostrowski describing meromorphic functions f such that the family {f(kz):k in C*} is normal, is generalized to holomorphic maps from $C*$ to a projective space.

We construct in this paper a large class of superoscillating sequences, more generally of $\mathscr F$-supershifts, where $\mathscr F$ is a family of smooth functions (resp. distributions, hyperfunctions) indexed by a real parameter…

Let $(M,g)$ be a pseudo-Riemannian manifold. We propose a new approach for defining the conformal Schwarzian derivatives. These derivatives are 1-cocycles on the group of diffeomorphisms of $M$ related to the modules of linear differential…

A fundamental result of Lappan [Comment. Math. Helv. \textbf{49} (1974), 492-495.] states that a meromorphic function $f$ in the unit disk $\mathbb{D}$ is normal if and only if its spherical derivative is bounded on a five-point subset $E…

The purpose of this paper is to introduce the notion of a generalized derivation which derivates a prescribed family of smooth vector-valued functions of several variables. The basic calculus rules are established and then a result derived…
