A remark on the Nevanlinna-Pólya theorem in analytic function theory (Q1917656)

The authors prove an extension of Nevanlinna-Pólya theorem for two analytic functions of a complex variable; more specifically, the two functions can be linearly dependent. The key gradient of the proof is using the fact that \(\Delta|p(z)|^2= 4|p'(z)|^2\) where \(p\) is an analytic function and \(\Delta\) is the Laplacian. For some generalized result, the reader is referred to a paper by \textit{J. P. D'Angelo} [``Several complex variables and the geometry of real hypersurfaces'' (1993; Zbl 0854.32001)].
