On rational components of meromorphic functions and their derivatives (Q1174863)

The author studies comparative growth of the uniform norms of rational and analytic components of meromorphic functions in arbitrary domains and the growth of the \(L^ 1\) norms of the derivatives of the rational components versus that of the uniform norm of its analytic part in domains with a locally rectifiable boundary. For example, he proves that in an arbitrary domain \(G\) on the Riemann sphere \[ \sup\{\| f_ G\|_{C(\partial G)}/\| f\|_{C(\partial G)}\}\leq 50n \] where sup is taken over all meromorphic functions whose principal (rational) part \(f_ G\) has no more than \(n\) poles in \(G\).
