Boundary angular derivatives of generalized Schur functions (Q2840476)

A Schur function \(s\) is analytic in the unit disk and takes values in the closed unit disk. A generalized Schur function \(f\) is of the form \(s/b\) with \(s\) Schur and \(b\) a finite Blaschke product. The paper considers tangential moment problems: given \(t_0\) of modulus 1 and complex numbers \(\{f_j:j=0,\dots,N\}\), find conditions for the existence of a generalized Schur function with asymptotic expansion \(f(z)=\sum_{k=0}^N f_j(z-t_0)^j+o(|z-t_0|^N)\) for \(z\to t_0\) nontangentially. Necessary and sufficient conditions are given. Clearly, \(|f_0|<1\) is sufficient and \(|f_0|\leq 1\) is necessary. So the major problem is to give conditions in the case \(|f_0|=1\).NEWLINENEWLINEFor the solution in the Schur class of the tangential problem with \(N\) finite, see [\textit{V. Bolotnikov}, J.
