Exercise 1.  Let   be a domain, symmetric with respect to the real axis, having a nonempty intersection with it. Each holomorphic function in D can be expressed uniquely in the form

  for each where

g and h are two holomorphic functions in and real on   Show that

, and for each

 

Exercise 2.   Let be a non-constant holomorphic function on a domain and let be a domain such that its closure is compact and contained in .  Show that, if is constant on the boundary of then there exists at least one zero of in (consider and use a contradiction argument).

 

Exercise 3.      Let be a holomorphic function in the disk and put for

0  Show that

a) is a continuous and increasing function of in 0

b) If is not constant, then is strictly increasing.

 

Exercise 4.  Let be holomorphic in  and put


for

Show that, if denotes the th Taylor coefficient of at then

deduce that, if then

i)  is an increasing continuous function of r;

ii)

iii) is a convex function of log in the case where is not identically (show that ,if we put

we have to show that use the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality on the absolutely convergent series:


Exercise 5.  Let be a holomorphic function on the disk such that on this disk; if there exist two distinct points and in the disk such that then we must have on the disk.

(consider the function with from which we have and in the disk).

 

Exercise 6  Hadamard’s theorem on the real part:  Let   be a holomorphic function in an open set containing the disk For put

i)  Show that is an increasing  continuous function of (notice that).

ii)  If we have in addition then, for we have

(consider the function

iii)  For show that
