Here's this week's problem.

-----

Problem: If $f$ is a holomorphic function on the strip $-1<y<1$, $x\in\mathbb{R}$ with \[\left|f(z)\right|\leq A(1+|z|)^{\eta},\quad\eta\text{ a fixed real number}\]
for all $z$ in that strip, show that for each integer $n\geq 0$ there exists $A_n\geq 0$ so that
\[|f^{(n)}(x)|\leq A_n(1+|x|)^{\eta},\quad\text{for all }x\in\mathbb{R}.\]

No one answered this week's problem. You can find my solution below.

[sp]For $x\in\mathbb{R}$, applying Cauchy's inequalities to $f(z)$ on the open disk $D_r(x)$ centered at $x$ with radius $0<r<1$, we get
$$\begin{aligned}|f^{(n)}(x)| &\leq \frac{n!}{r^n} \sup\limits_{|z-x|=r}|f(z)|\\ & \leq\frac{n!}{r^n} A\sup\limits_{|z-x|=r} (1+|z|)^{\eta}\\ &\leq\frac{n!}{r^n} A(2+|x|)^{\eta}.\end{aligned}$$
Letting $r\rightarrow 1$, we get
$$|f^{(n)}(x)|\leq n! A(2+|x|)^{\eta}.$$
Thus, we can set
$$A_n=n! A\sup\limits_{x\in\mathbb{R}}\frac{(2+|x|)^{\eta}}{(1+|x|)^{\eta}}.$$
This completes the proof.[/sp]
 

FAQ: Cauchy's inequality problem with holomorphic function

What is Cauchy's inequality problem with holomorphic function?

Cauchy's inequality problem with holomorphic function is a mathematical problem that involves finding the maximum value of a holomorphic function on a given compact subset of the complex plane. It is named after the mathematician Augustin-Louis Cauchy who first posed and solved the problem.

What is a holomorphic function?

A holomorphic function is a complex-valued function that is differentiable at every point in its domain. It is often described as being "smooth" or "analytic" and has many useful properties in complex analysis.

What is the significance of Cauchy's inequality problem with holomorphic function?

Cauchy's inequality problem with holomorphic function has many applications in mathematics and physics. It is used to prove the maximum modulus theorem, which states that the maximum value of a holomorphic function on a compact subset of the complex plane occurs on the boundary of the set. It is also used in the proof of the Cauchy integral formula, which is a fundamental result in complex analysis.

How is Cauchy's inequality problem with holomorphic function solved?

The problem is typically solved using the Cauchy integral formula, which relates the integral of a holomorphic function around a closed path to the values of the function on the boundary of the path. This formula is then used to prove the maximum modulus theorem and find the maximum value of the function on the given compact subset.

What are some real-world applications of Cauchy's inequality problem with holomorphic function?

Cauchy's inequality problem with holomorphic function has applications in many fields, including engineering, physics, and economics. It is used to solve problems involving electric fields, fluid dynamics, and optimization. It also has applications in signal processing and image processing, where it is used to analyze and manipulate complex-valued signals and images.
