Derivatives at the Boundary for Analytic Lipschitz Functions

Abstract

We consider the behaviour of holomorphic functions on a bounded open subset of the plane, satisfying a Lipschitz condition with exponent α\alpha, with 0<α<10<\alpha<1, in the vicinity of an exceptional boundary point where all such functions exhibit some kind of smoothness. Specifically, we consider the relation between the abstract idea of a bounded point derivation on the algebra of such functions and the classical complex derivative evaluated as a limit of difference quotients. We show that whenever such a bounded point derivation exists at a boundary point bb, it may be evaluated by taking a limit of classical difference quotients, for approach from a set having full area density at bb.
