Abstract

The feasibility of extrapolation of completely monotone functions can be quantified by examining the worst case scenario, whereby a pair of completely monotone functions agree on a given interval to a given relative precision, but differ as much as it is theoretically possible at a given point. We show that extrapolation is impossible to the left of the interval, while the maximal discrepancy to the right exhibits a power law typical for extrapolation of similar classes of complex analytic functions. The power law exponent is derived explicitly, and shows a precipitous drop immediately beyond the right end-point, with a subsequent decay to zero inversely proportional to the distance from the interval. The local extrapolation problem, where the worst discrepancy from a given completely monotone function is sought, is also analyzed. In this case explicit and easily verifiable optimality conditions are derived, enabling us to solve the problem exactly for a single decaying exponential. In the general case, our approach leads to a natural algorithm for computing solutions to the local extrapolation problem numerically. The methods developed in this paper can easily be adapted to other classes of analytic functions represented as integral transforms of positive measures with analytic kernels.

Pre-Schwarzian and Schwarzian norm estimates for harmonic functions with fixed analytic part

In the present article, we discuss about the estimate of the pre-Schwarzian and Schwarzian norms for locally univalent harmonic functions $f=h+\overline{g}$ in the unit disk $\mathbb{D}:=\{z\in\mathbb{C}:\, |z|<1\}$. First, we prove a general result for the estimate of the pre-Schwarzian norm which rectify few earlier flawed results. We also consider a new class $\mathcal{F}_0$ consisting of all harmonic functions $f=h+\overline{g}$ in the unit disk $\mathbb{D}$ such that ${\rm Re\,}\left(1+z\frac{h''(z)}{h'(z)}\right)>0$ for $z\in\mathbb{D}$ with dilatation $ω_f(z)\in Aut(\mathbb{D})$ and obtain best possible estimates of the pre-Schwarzian and Schwarzian norms for functions in the class $\mathcal{F}_0$. Moreover, we obtain the distortion and coefficient estimates of the co-analytic function $g$ when $f=h+\overline{g}\in\mathcal{F}_0$.

The Reciprocal Problem on Weighted Bergman Spaces

The reciprocal problem on weighted Bergman spaces has been posed as an open problem. In this paper, we establish several sufficient conditions for the reciprocal property and clarify the parameter ranges in which the available methods are applicable. In particular, we prove that functions in $A_α^p\cap H^\infty$ enjoy the reciprocal property in the parameter ranges where the required analytic Besov composition theorem is available. In addition, using Hardy boundary estimates, we solve the reciprocal problem in the Drury--Arveson space $H_d^2$ when the dimension is $d=3$, and give an equivalent condition for the reciprocal problem in the four-dimensional Drury--Arveson space.

Möbius Maps, Reflections and Lipschitz Constants

We introduce the chordal isometric circle of a Möbius map, and use this to give a factorization of any Möbius map as the composition of a chordal isometry and either a reflection, or a rotary reflection, across a circle. We then use this to find the chordal, and spherical, Lipschitz constants of a Möbius map, and compare this with related results in the literature.
