Let f(x) and g(x) be two polynomials with arbitrary complex coefficients that are relatively prime. Hence the maximum is positive for all complex x. Since m(x) is continuous and tends to infinity with |x|, the quantity E(f, g) = min m(x) is therefore also positive.

Let s, sn(n = 0, 1, …) be arbitrary complex numbers, and letbe a polynomial, with complex coefficients, which satisfies the normalizing conditionAssociated with such a polynomial is a Nörlund method of summability Np: the sequence {sn} is said to be Np-convergent to s, and we write sn →s (Np), if

Throughout this note we shall consider a fixed polynomial with complex coefficients and of degree n ≥ 2. Its zeros will be denoted by ξ1, ξ2, …, ξn where the numbering is such that Making use of Jensen's integral formula, Mahler (4) showed that, for l ≥ k < n, A slightly weaker result had been established by Feldman in an earlier publication (2). Mahler's inequality (1) is of importance in the study of transcendental numbers, and our first object is to sharpen his bound by proving the following result.

Let L1, …, Ln be n homogeneous linear forms in n variables u1, …, un, with non-zero determinant Δ. Suppose that L1, …, Lr have real coefficients, that Lr+1, …, Lr+s have complex coefficients, and that the form Lr+s+j is the complex conjugate of the form Lr+j for j = 1, …, s, where r + 2s = n. Letfor integral u1, …, un, not all zero. For any n numbers α1, …, αn of the same ‘type’ as the forms L1, …, Ln (that is, α1, …, αr real, αr+1, …, αr+s complex, αr+s+j = ᾱr+j), let

1. In this paper I shall deal with the solutions of the Lamé equationwhen n and h are arbitrary complex or real parameters and k is any number in the complex plane cut along the real axis from 1 to ∞ and from −1 to −∞. Since the coefficients of (1) are periodic functions of am(x, k), we conclude ](5), § 19·4] that there is a solution of (1), y0(x), which has a trigonometric expansion of the formwhere θ is a certain constant, the characteristic exponent, which depends on h, k and n. Unless θ is an integer, y0(x) and y0(−x) are two distinct solutions of the Lamé equation.It is easy to obtain the system of recurrence relationsfor the coefficients cr. θ is determined, mod 1, by the condition that this system of recurrence relations should have a solution {cr} for whichk′ being the principal value of (1−k2)½

Let U be the class of all normalized analytic functionswhere z ∈ E = {z : |z| < 1} and ƒ is univalent in E. Let K denote the sub-class of U consisting of those members that map E onto a convex domain. MacGregor [2] showed that if ƒ1 ∈ K and ƒ2 ∈ K and if1then F ∉ K when λ is real and 0 < λ < 1, and the radius of univalency and starlikeness for F is .In this paper, we examine the expression (1) when ƒ1 ∈ K, ƒ2 ∈ K and λ is a complex constant and find the radius of starlikeness for such a linear combination of complex functions with complex coefficients.

Let F(z, u) denote1where F1(z),… , Fn(z) are rational functions of z with complex coefficients. We shall speak of F (z, u) = 0 as the fundamental algebraic equation and shall adopt z as the independent variable and u as the dependent, except in § 4, where we use x and y instead of them, and where it is understood that x and y are connected birationally with z and u.

In this paper we are concerned with the group of formal power series of the form,the coefficients being elements of a commutative ring R and the group operation being substitution. Little seems to be known of the properties of groups of this type, except in special cases, although groups of formal power series in several variables with complex coefficients have been investigated from a different point of view by Bochner and Martin (1, chap. I) and Gotô (2).

In this note we ask two questions and answer one. The questions can be combined as follows:Does there exist a polynomial of the formwhich starts with prescribed complex coefficients c0, …, cr–1; and satisfiesThese differ from the classical problems of Carathéodory in one essential respect: the values of p and its first r–1 derivatives are given at the point z = 1 on the circumference of the unit circle, while in the original problem they were given at z = 0. Carathéodory's own answer was in terms of his “moment curve”, but the forms studied a few years later by Toeplitz yield a more convenient statement of the solution.
