Bilinear Maps Complex Analysis

Click For Summary
To find an analytic function g in the disk |z|≤2 that satisfies g(2/3)=0 and |g(z)|=1 on |z|=2, the discussion emphasizes using bilinear maps. The bilinear map Bα(z) is noted to map the unit circle |z|=1 to itself, suggesting a modification to map |z|=2 to |z|=1. The approach involves adjusting the parameters in the bilinear map to ensure that g(2/3)=0 is satisfied. The maximum modulus theorem is deemed unnecessary for this problem, as the bilinear map provides a more direct solution. The focus remains on leveraging the properties of bilinear maps for the desired function.

Homework Statement


Find a function g analytic in |z|\leq 2, with g(2/3)=0 and |g(z)|= 1 on |z|=2


Homework Equations


Bilinear maps

B_{\alpha}(z)=\frac{z-\alpha}{1-\overline{\alpha}z}


|B_{\alpha}(z)|=1 on |z|=1


The Attempt at a Solution


I tried using the maximum modulus theorem but I did not manage to find such a function.

Why are you messing around with the maximum modulus theorem when your relevant equation is a bilinear map? Use the bilinear map. It maps the unit circle |z|=1 to the unit circle. Modify it so it maps the circle |z|=2 to |z|=1. Now you still have an 'a' in the function. Fix 'a' so that g(2/3)=0.
 
Question: A clock's minute hand has length 4 and its hour hand has length 3. What is the distance between the tips at the moment when it is increasing most rapidly?(Putnam Exam Question) Answer: Making assumption that both the hands moves at constant angular velocities, the answer is ## \sqrt{7} .## But don't you think this assumption is somewhat doubtful and wrong?
