We give several new characterizations of Caratheodory convergence of simply connected domains. We then investigate how different definitions of convergence generalize to the multiply-connected case.
The Schur (resp. Caratheodory) class consists of all the analytic functions $f$ on the unit disk with $|f|le 1$ (resp. $Re f>0$ and $f(0)=1$). The Schur parameters $gamma_0,gamma_1,dots (|gamma_j|le 1)$ are known to parametrize the coefficients of fu
nctions in the Schur class. By employing a recursive formula for it, we describe the $n$-th coefficient of a Caratheodory function in terms of $n$ independent variables $gamma_1,dots, gamma_n$ with $|gamma_j|le 1.$ The mapping properties of those correspondences are also studied.
Let $E$ be a continuum in the closed unit disk $|z|le 1$ of the complex $z$-plane which divides the open disk $|z| < 1$ into $nge 2$ pairwise non-intersecting simply connected domains $D_k,$ such that each of the domains $D_k$ contains some point $a_
k$ on a prescribed circle $|z| = rho, 0 <rho <1, k=1,...,n,. $ It is shown that for some increasing function $Psi,$ independent of $E$ and the choice of the points $a_k,$ the mean value of the harmonic measures $$ Psi^{-1}[ frac{1}{n} sum_{k=1}^{k} Psi(omega(a_k,E, D_k))] $$ is greater than or equal to the harmonic measure $omega(rho, E^*, D^*),,$ where $E^* = {z: z^n in [-1,0] }$ and $D^* ={z: |z|<1, |{rm arg} z| < pi/n} ,.$ This implies, for instance, a solution to a problem of R.W. Barnard, L. Cole, and A. Yu. Solynin concerning a lower estimate of the quantity $inf_{E} max_{k=1,...,n} omega(a_k,E, D_k),$ for arbitrary points of the circle $|z| = rho ,.$ These authors stated this hypothesis in the particular case when the points are equally distributed on the circle $|z| = rho ,.$
This article gives a complex analysis lighting on the problem which consists in restoring a bordered connected riemaniann surface from its boundary and its Dirichlet-Neumann operator. The three aspects of this problem, unicity, reconstruction and characterization are approached.
The Kohn-Nireberg domains are unbounded domains in the complex Euclidean space of dimension 2 upon which many outstanding questions are yet to be explored. The primary aim of this article is to demonstrate that the Bergman and Caratheodory metrics of
any Kohn-Nirenberg domains are positive and complete.
