Lipschitz spaces and spaces of harmonic functions in the unit disc (Q581710)

The author solves a problem posed by \textit{A. L. Shields} and \textit{D. L. Williams} [J. Reine Angew. Math. 299/300, 256-279 (1978; Zbl 0367.46053)]. On one hand, he considers classes \(h_{\infty,n}(\Psi)\) of functions harmonic in the unit disk and obeying certain radial growth conditions depending on the growth of a function \(\Psi\), and on the other hand, he considers the Lipschitz spaces \(Lip_ n(\phi)\) of harmonic functions continuous on the closed unit disk and subject to conditions on their oscillatory behaviour on the unit circle (depending on a function \(\phi)\). For certain classes of function \(\Psi\) and \(\phi\), he proves a necessary and sufficient condition relating \(\Psi\) to \(\phi\) which yields isomorphy between \(h_{\infty,n}(\Psi)\) and \(Lip_ n(\phi)\). This result generalizes, in particular, classical theorems of Hardy/Littlewood and of Zygmund.
