Normal Functions and Normal Families
Yan Xu
Abstract. In this paper, we prove the following theorem: Let F be a family of holomorphic functions in the unit disc D and let a be a nonzero complex number. If, for any f ÎF, f(z)= a Þ f'(z)= a, f'(z)= a Þ f''(z)= a, then F is uniformly normal in D , that is, there exists a positive constant M such that
(1-|z|2) f#(z)£M
for each f ÎF and z ÎD
where M is independently of M. This result improves related results due to [2], [8], and [3].
