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…

We consider orthogonal decompositions of invariant subspaces of Hardy spaces, these relate to the Blaschke based phase unwinding decompositions. We prove convergence in Lp. In particular we build an explicit multiscale wavelet basis. We…

We prove that the composition of two indestructible Blaschke products is again an indestructible Blaschke product. We also show that if an indestructible Blaschke product is the composition of two bounded analytic functions, then both…

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…

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…

We study a natural nonlinear analogue of Fourier series. Iterative Blaschke factorization allows one to formally write any holomorphic function $F$ as a series which successively unravels or unwinds the oscillation of the function $$ F =…

We construct a Schauder basis for the space $Hol(\mathbb D)$, the space of holomorphic functions on the closed unit disk, consisting entirely of finite Blaschke products. The expansion coefficients are given explicitly. Our result remains…

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…

We generalize a well-known sufficient condition for interpolating sequences for the Hilbert Bergman spaces to other Bergman spaces with normal weights (as defined by Shields and Williams) and obtain new results regarding the membership of…

We study the closure in the Hardy space or the disk algebra of algebras generated by two bounded functions, of which one is a finite Blaschke product. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for density or finite codimension of such…

It is proved that exponential Blaschke products are the inner functions whose derivative is in the weak Hardy space. Exponential Blaschke products are described in terms of their logarithmic means and also in terms of the behavior 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 \[ \Gamma = \{(z+w, zw): |z|\leq 1, |w|\leq 1\} \subset \mathbb{C}^2. \] A $\Gamma$-inner function is defined to be a holomorphic map $h$ from the unit disc $\mathbb{D}$ to $\Gamma$ whose boundary values at almost all points of the unit…

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…

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.
