Extreme points and minimal outer area problem for meromorphic univalent functions (Q1270868)

Let \(S_p\), \(0<p<1\), denote the class of functions \(f\) meromorphic univalent in the unit disc \(D= \{z:| z|<1\}\) with the normalization \(f(0)=0\), \(f'(0)=1\), and \(f(p)=\infty\). Let \(S_p(a)\) be the subclass of \(S_p\) with the fixed residue \(a\). In this note the extreme points of the class \(S_p(a)\) were determined. As an application, the author solved the problem of minimizing the outer area over \(S_p(a)\), which was posed by \textit{S. Zemyan} [J. Anal. Math. 39, 11-23 (1981; Zbl 0481.30018)]. Classes of functions meromorphic univalent in \(D\) with simple pole at \(z=p\), \(0<p<1\), have been discussed in several places in the literature [for example by \textit{L. Landau-Treisner} and \textit{A. E. Livingston}, Can. J. Math. 41, No. 4, 612-625 (1989; Zbl 0689.30013)].
