Asymptotic maximum principle.
We introduce the concept of asymptotic stability for a set of complex functions analytic around the origin, implicitly contained in an earlier paper of the first mentioned author (“Finite group actions and asymptotic expansion of ", Combinatorica 17 (1997), 523 – 554). As a consequence of our main result we find that the collection of entire functions with the set of all real polynomials satisfying Hayman’s condition is asymptotically stable. This answers a question raised in loc. cit.
In this note we present a simple proof of a theorem of Hornblower which characterizes those functions analytic in the open unit disk having asymptotic values at a dense set in the boundary. Our method is based on a kind of ∂-mollification and may be of use in other problems as well.
Let T(Δ) be the universal Teichmüller space on the unit disk Δ and T₀(Δ) be the set of asymptotically conformal classes in T(Δ). Suppose that μ is a Beltrami differential on Δ with [μ] ∈ T₀(Δ). It is an interesting question whether [tμ] belongs to T₀(Δ) for general t ≠ 0, 1. In this paper, it is shown that there exists a Beltrami differential μ ∈ [0] such that [tμ] is a non-trivial non-Strebel point for any .
Estudiamos algunas cuestiones estructurales acerca del espacio localmente convexo HV∞, que está formado por funciones analíticas en el disco unidad abierto. Construimos una descomposición atómica de este espacio, usando un retículo de puntos del disco unidad que es más denso que el usual. También demostramos que HV∞ no es nuclear.
Given an orientation-preserving homeomorphism of the plane, a rotation number can be associated with each locally attracting fixed point. Assuming that the homeomorphism is dissipative and the rotation number vanishes we prove the existence of a second fixed point. The main tools in the proof are Carath´eodory prime ends and fixed point index. The result is applicable to some concrete problems in the theory of periodic differential equations.
