Schwarz-Pick inequalities for hyperbolic domains in the extended plane (Q1771149): Difference between revisions

Let \(D\) and \(G\) be two hyperbolic, simply connected domains in the extended complex plane \(\widehat{C}=C\cup \{\infty\}\) and let \(z_o\in D\setminus \{\infty\}\). Suppose that \(f:D\to G\) be a holomorphic (or meromorphic) function. The authors prove sharp upper bounds for \(| f^{(n)}(z_o)| \). The bounds involve the densities \(\lambda_D(z_o)\) and \(\lambda_G(f(z_o))\) of the hyperbolic metrics on \(D\) and \(G\) and also the hyperbolic distances \(d_D(z_o,\infty)\) and \(d_G(f(z_o),\infty)\). This result improves earlier estimates by the same authors and is related to results of St.Ruscheweyh. The authors provide also some improvements of the upper bounds when \(G\) is convex.
