On the singular factor of a linear combination of holomorphic functions

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We prove that the linear combinations of functions f0,...,fn in Hinfty have "few" singular inner factors, provided that the fj's are suitably smooth up to the boundary, while in general this is no longer true.


The author shows the following two results: NEWLINENEWLINEa) If \(f_0,\dots, f_n\) are linearily independent holomorphic functions on a domain \(\Omega\subseteq \mathbb C\), then there exists a discrete subset \(S\) of \(\Omega\) such that for every \(g=\sum_{j=0}^n \lambda_j f_j\), \(\lambda_j\in \mathbb C\), \(g\not\equiv 0\), the zeros of \(g\) of multiplicity at least \(n\) are contained in \(S\). NEWLINENEWLINEThe proof is a simple application of the Wronskian determined by the \(f_j\). NEWLINENEWLINEb) If \(f_0,\dots, f_n\) are linearily independent in the Hardy space \(H^1_n=\{f\in H^1: f^{(n)}\in H^1\}\) of higher order, then there is a singular inner function \(S\) such the singular inner factor of \(g=\sum_{j=0}^n \lambda_j f_j\), \(\lambda_j\in \mathbb C\), \(g\not\equiv 0\), divides \(S\).
