SUMMARY
The discussion centers on proving that for an analytic function \(f: B(0,2) \to B(0,2)\) with the condition \(f(1)=0\), the inequality \(\left| \dfrac{f(z)}{z} \right| \le \left| \dfrac{2(z-1)}{4-z} \right|\) holds for all \(z \in B(0,2)\). Participants express confusion about how to utilize the condition \(f(1)=0\) effectively. A suggestion to define a new function \(g(z)=(z-1)f(z)\) is made, but participants struggle to find a concrete starting point. One participant points out a flaw in the original assertion by providing a counterexample with \(f(z)=a(z-1)\).
