On the Ritt order of a certain class of functions.
∗Research supported by the grant No. GAUK 186/96 of Charles University.We introduce the helm topology in the plane. We show that (assuming the helm local injectivity and the Euclidean continuity) each mapping which is oriented at all points of a helm domain U is oriented at U.
Our main result implies the following theorem: Let f be a transcendental meromorphic function in the complex plane. If f has finite order ρ, then every asymptotic value of f, except at most 2ρ of them, is a limit point of critical values of f.We give several applications of this theorem. For example we prove that if f is a transcendental meromorphic function then f'fn with n ≥ 1 takes every finite non-zero value infinitely often. This proves a conjecture of Hayman. The proof makes use of the iteration...
We give several characterizations of the symmetrized n-disc Gₙ which generalize to the case n ≥ 3 the characterizations of the symmetrized bidisc that were used in order to solve the two-point spectral Nevanlinna-Pick problem in ℳ ₂(ℂ). Using these characterizations of the symmetrized n-disc, which give necessary and sufficient conditions for an element to belong to Gₙ, we obtain necessary conditions of interpolation for the general spectral Nevanlinna-Pick problem. They also allow us to give a...
We consider the space of holomorphic functions at the origin which extend analytically on the universal covering of , . We show that this space is stable by convolution product, thus is a resurgent algebra.
