Abstract: We study a natural nonlinear analogue of Fourier series. Iterative Blaschke factorization allows one to formally write any holomorphic function F as a series which successively unravels or unwinds the oscillation of the function F = a_1 B_1 + a_2 B_1 B_2 + a_3 B_1 B_2 B_3 + dots where aiinmathbbC and Bi is a Blaschke product. Numerical experiments point towards rapid convergence of the formal series but the actual mechanism by which this is happening has yet to be explained. We derive a family of inequalities and use them to prove convergence for a large number of function spaces: for example, we have convergence in L2 for functions in the Dirichlet space mathcalD. Furthermore, we present a numerically efficient way to expand a function without explicit calculations of the Blaschke zeroes going back to Guido and Mary Weiss.


The authors study a nonlinear analogue of Fourier series based on iterative Blaschke factorization, giving rise to so-called unwinding series. After a reminder of related works and notations, the main result (Theorem 1) is presented in the second section of the paper. Also a slight generalization and an unwinding series on $\mathbb R$ are given. In the third section a collection of known facts, additional background material, the Guido and Mary Weiss algorithm, and some applications are presented. The complete proofs of the main theorem and other recalled theorems and corollaries are given in the last section of the paper.
