An inductive Julia-Caratheodory theorem for Pick functions in two variables

We study the asymptotic behavior of Pick functions, analytic functions which take the upper half plane to itself. We show that if a two variable Pick function $f$ has real residues to order $2N-1$ at infinity and the imaginary part of the remainder between $f$ and this expansion is of order $2N+1,$ then $f$ has real residues to order $2N$ and directional residues to order $2N+1.$ Furthermore, $f$ has real residues to order $2N+1$ if and only if the $2N+1$-th derivative is given by a polynomial, thus obtaining a two variable analogue of a higher order Julia-Carath\'eodory type theorem.
