growth regularity for the arguments of meromorphic in C \ {0} functions of completely

regular growth

A.YA. KHRYSTIYANYN, O.S. VYSHYNS'KYI

Abstract. We study the asymptotic behaviour for the arguments of meromorphic function in C \ {0} of completely regular growth with respect to a growth function A. We find that that the key role in the description of this behaviour is played by the function Ai (r) = f[ X(t)/tdt.

Keywords: meromorphic function, function of moderate growth, completely regular growth, growth indicator, Fourier coefficients.

1. Introduction

The theory of entire functions of completely regular growth with respect to the function A close to a power function was created in late 30's of the last century by B. Levin and A. Pfluger. This theory has many applications in various areas of modern complex analysis. A full exposition this theory as well as its applications can be found in [1].

Using the Fourier series method developed by L. A. Rubel and B. A. Taylor [2], A. A. Kondratyuk generalized Levin-Pfluger theory of entire functions of completely regular growth. The growth of a function was measured with respect to an arbitrary non-decreasing continuous function A satisfying the condition A(2r) ^ M\(r) for some M > 0 and all r > 0. This generalization made it possible to describe asymptotic behaviour of entire functions of completely regular growth in Lp-metrics. He also introduced the classes of meromorphic functions of completely regular growth [3], [4], [5]. One can find a thorough description of this theory in [6].

The next possible step in this field is to extend and generalize this theory for multiply connected domains. Many authors studied meromorphic functions in multiply connected domains. One of the recent approaches was proposed in [7], [8], [9]. Using a Nevanlinna type characteristic introduced in these works and the notion of finite A-density [9], the notion of holomorphic function of completely regular growth in the punctured plane C* = C \ {0} was introduced in [10] as well as its growth indicators. This work was concerned mainly with the properties of the growth indicators. Another work in this direction is [11], where using the Fourier series method under general assumptions, the problem of description of the sets of holomorphic functions in C* possessing the property of simultaneous regular growth of the logarithm of modulus and argument was solved.

In the present work we make further studies in this direction. Namely, we study the asymptotic behaviour of the arguments of meromorphic functions of completely regular growth in C*.

2. Definitions, notations and main results

Definition 1 ([9]). A positive nondecreasing continuous unbounded function X in [1, is said to be a growth function.

We say that a growth function is a function of moderate growth if there exists positive M such that X(2r) ^ MX(r) for all r ^ 1. Let X be a function of moderate growth. We denote

r

Mr) := j Xf-dt. (1)

Let f be a meromorphic function in C* not vanishing identically. By A* we denote C* without the intervals {z = ra : r ^ 1} if |a| > 1, and {z = ra : 0 ^ r ^ 1} if |a| < 1, where a is a zero or pole of f. Let {aj} be the zeros and {bj} be the poles of f,

№ = № n (z -as )-1 n (z - ).

\aj |=1 \bd |=1

Then [9, Lemma 4.1] there exists m G Z such that for the function F(z) = z-mf (z) and for any given closed path 7 G A* we have

1

This allows us to determine a branch of the logarithm of F( ) in A*. We observe that

m =- [ ) dz,

2™ J\z\ = 1 f(z)

see [9, Lemma 4.1].

We use the following notations for the Fourier coefficients

Remark 1. Note that

ck(t, F) = 1(1 k(t, F) + Lk(t, F)), ak(t, F) = 1(1 k(t, F) - — (t,F)), for > 0 and G Z.

The Nevanlinna type characteristic T0(r, f) for a function f meromorphic on the annulus {z G C : < |z| < R®}, where 1 < R® ^ was introduced in [7]. Namely,

To( r, f) = mo( r, f) + No( r, f), 1 <r<R®,

where

mo ( r, f) = m( r, f)+m^1, f ^ - 2m(1, f),

m(t, î) = 1j log+ | f(t eie )l dd, — <t<Ro,

N»(r, /)=/ i t,

n0(t, f) is the counting function of the poles of f in the annulus 1/t ^ |z| ^ t, t ^ 1. This characteristic possesses the properties (see [7], [8], [9]) similar to the properties of the classical Nevanlinna characteristic T(r, f) [12].

Definition 2 ([9]). Let X be a growth function and f be a meromorphic function in C*. We say that f is of finite X-type ifT0( r, f) ^ AX(B r), for some positive constants A, B and for all r, r^ 1.

Definition 3. A meromorphic function f in C* is called a function of the first type completely regular growth (c.r.g.1) if f is of finite X-type and for all k G Z there exist

lim k( , /") =: ck and lim ?( 1 ^P =: c?. r^+œ A(r) r^+œ A(r)

Definition 4. A meromorphic function f in C* is called a function of the second type completely regular growth (c.r.g.2) if f is of finite X-type and for all k G Z there exist

y ck(^ f) + ck(I, f) *

lim -—--=: ck.

X(r) k

We denote by A0'1, A°'2 the classes of meromorphic functions of c.r.g.1 and c.r.g.2 in C* respectively. If f G A0'1 or f G A°'2 we say that f is of completely regular growth (c.r.g.) in C*.

Remark 2. It is obvious that A0'1 C A°'2. However, these classes do not coincide.

For example, take a growth function X and an entire function g of finite X-type, which is not of c.r.g. with respect to X in the entire complex plane C. Without loss of generality we can assume g(0) = 0 and g has no zeros on the unit circle |z| = 1. For z G C* put f(z) = g(z)/g(1/~z). Then f is obviously meromorphic in C*. We have that log lg(1/z)| is bounded as z ^ x>. And because q is not of c.r.g. in C, there exists k G Z such that the limit lim Ck(does not exist

or is infinite (see [3] or [6]). Therefore, there is no finite limit of ^^(-^p as r ^ for that same k. Hence, f G A0'1. On the other hand, ck (r, f) + ck (1, f) = 0 for all k G Z. Thus, f G A°'2.

Definition 5 ([10]). If f is of c.r.g.1 then the functions

h1 ( e, /) = £ eke , h2(e, /) = Y, &zkd

are called the growth indicators of f; in case of c.r.g.2 the growth indicator of f is

h(d, /) =

where ck, ck, c*k are given by Definitions 3 and 4. Our main results are the following theorems.

Theorem 1. Let X be a function of moderate growth, X1 be defined by (1), f be a meromorphic in C* function of c.r.g.1 with respect to X, and h1, h2 be the growth indicators of f. Then for all p G [1,

3. Auxiliary results

Let f be a meromorphic in C* function not vanishing identically, F(z) = z-mf(z), where f and m are determined as above. Let {bj} be the poles of f, Uj = aarg bj. For k G Z we denote ([10])

where every pole bj is counted according to its multiplicity. In particular, no(r, f) is the counting function that appears in the definition of T0(r, f). We assume nk(1, f) = n2k(1, f) = 0 for all k G Z. Thus,

nk(r, f) = nk(r, D + nk(r, D + nk(T, D, k G Z, r ^ 1, where T = {z : |z| = 1} and nk(T, f) = nk(1, f) = ^ e-ikai.

I bj |=1

Remark 3. Note that |nk(r, /)| ^ n0(r, f), i = 1, 2, |nk(T, /)| ^ n0(T, f), and consequently |nk( r, f)| ^ n0(r, f) for all k G Z and r ^ 1.

Let

r r

Nk (r, f) = j ^^ dt, i=1, 2, Nk (r, f) = j ^^ dt, k G Z, r ^ 1. (11) 11

Since F does not have zeros and poles on the unit circle T, we have that log F is holomorphic in some annular neighbourhood of the unit circle, and therefore admits a Laurent series expansion

log F (Z) = Y®kZk (12)

in that neighbourhood.

To prove our main results, we need following auxiliary lemmas.

Proof. In view of (12) we have ak + a-k = 2ck(1, F) and ak — a-k = 2iak(1, F) for all k E Z. Note that

Ck (1,F) = Ck (1, f) — ^ cJ 1,1 — + ^ Ck (l, 1 — -p), k E Z. \aj \=i ^ a" \bj \=i ^

Bearing in mind that |w| = 1, one can easily compute ck(t, 1 — ^) for t = 1. Then by using the continuity of the Fourier coefficients we get that

Ck(1, F) = Ck(1,f ) + 1 ^ (T, ^ — nk(T, f)^j .

Replacing ak(t,F) in (17) by its representation (19), we arrive at obtain (21). Similarly, using (18) in (20), one gets (22). □

Lemma 6. Let X be a function of moderate growth, X1 be defined by (1), f be a function of c.r.g. with respect to X, and ck, ck, c*k be given by Definitions 3, 4. Then

(i) if f E , then for every k E Z there exist limits

(ii) if f G A °° , then for every k G Z there exists

j-^+to X1(r)

Proof. (i) Let f be a function of c.r.g.1 with respect to X.

If k = 0 then from (14), (16) we obtain a0(r, F) = a0( 1, F) = a0(1, F), and obviously

r ap( r,F) v ap( 1 ,F) lim w v = lim r = 0.

j-^+to X1 (r) r^+TO X1(r)

Since f G A , we have

Ck(r, f) = ckX(r) + o(X(r)), 1, f^ = ckX(r) + o(X(r)), r ^ k G Z.

By (17) we get

ak (r, F) = - kckX1(r) + 0(X1(r)) + ak -a-k - ^fc--1 (n^ T, ^ - nk (T, /)) , k> 0.

Hence,

lim a k (T] . ) = — ikck r^+œ Ai(r) k

for all integer k > 0. Using the properties a-k(r, F) = ak(r, F) and ¿k = ck, we obtain that

lim ^ihll = —%kck, k G Z. r^+TO X (r) k

Similarly, using (18), we have

lim k (^ . ) = ik ck, k E Z.

r^+TO X (r) k

(ii) Let now f be a function of c.r.g.2 with respect to X. By (14) and (16) we obtain that a0(r, F) - a0(£, F) = 0. It follows from (17), (18) that

ak (r, F) - a^ 1, F^ = -ik ckX1 (r) + o(X1 (r)) - ^^ ^ (t, ^ - nk (T, f)^ , k> 0.

Similarly as in case (i) this implies that

4. Connection between the indicators of completely regularly growing

MEROMORPHIC function IN C*

Let f be a meromorphic in C* function of c.r.g. with respect to X. It does not matter what type of c.r.g. the function f actually is of, it is assumed to be of finite X-type in C* anyway. This implies that the growth indicators, h1 and h2 in the case of c.r.g.1 or h in the case of c.r.g.2, belong to L2[0, 2tt\. For holomorphic functions f this was proved in [10]. The assumption that f is meromorphic in C* give rise to no significant changes in the proof of that result.

We note that by the definition, the indicators h1, h2, and h are the growth indicators of log |f| with respect to X. However, Lemmata 6 and 8 allow us to introduce the notion of the growth indicators of argF with respect to X1. We denote

1 r ak(^ F) 2 r ak(1 ,F) , -o,1

ak = lim A . . , ak = lim A . . if t G AA , k X1 (r) k X1(r)

and A A be the class of holomorphic functions of c.r.g.1 in C*. Using the inverse formulas for the Fourier coefficients ck(r, f) + ck (f) from [15] it was proved in [10, Theorem 3] that if f e A A then the sum of the growth indicators h1 + h2 is w-trigonometrically convex [1] for u e [k, p], where

„2 M_______ A(0

k = lim inf , p = lim sup

r^+œ A2(rY r^+œ A2(r)

The presence of the poles of does not complicate the proof essentially.

It turns out that for our purpose we need both h1 and h2 to possess the property of w-trigonometrical convexity separately in the case f e A0,1. And if f e A^2 we need this property for h as well. Analyzing the proof of Theorem 3 from [10], we conclude that the key role in showing w-trigonometrical convexity is played by the inverse formulae for the Fourier coefficients. While such formulae from [15] for the sum ck (r, f) + ck (1, f ) can be obtained in the case f e A^2, we need formulae (21) and (22) for the case f e A°,:L. So, once we have them, in

the similar way as in [10] by taking a meromorphic in C* function f either of c.r.g.1 or c.r.g.2, and using the inverse formulae for the Fourier coefficients ck(r, f), ck, f) given by Lemma 5, one can prove that the indicators h\, h2, or h are ш-trigonometrically convex for ш E [к,р] in the appropriate case.

Each trigonometrically convex function is differentiable almost everywhere [1]. It follows from (35) that the Fourier coefficients of the functions g\ and —h[, g2 and h'2, g and —h' coincide and

9l(6, f) = —h\(e, f), д2(в, f) = h'2(e, f), g(6, f) = — h(9, f) (36)

almost everywhere.

5. Proof of the main results

Proof of Theorem 1. Let gg2 be the functions defined in the previous section. The Fourier

coefficients of ^ —дг(в, Д ше ¡(Г) ] —д2{в, /) are —a\ and ^r(^ -a2k respectively,

Together with (36) this proves (5), (6) for p = 2. Furthermore, in view of (27), (34), and (35), by applying Hausdorff-Young Theorem [14] we obtain (5), (6) for p > 2. Taking into account the monotonicity of the pth integral means, we establish that relations (5), (6) hold for all p G [1, +ro). □

Proof of Theorem 2. One can prove this theorem by considering the Fourier coefficients of argF(re (re ) _ g(Q, y), using appropriate part of Lemma 6, and arguing just as in the

proof of Theorem 1. □

Proof of Theorems 3, 4. Relations (8), (9), (10) are implied immediately by Theorem 2 in [10] and Theorems 1, 2 by Minkowski inequality [16] and Remark 4. □
