Imaginary values of meromorphic functions in the disk

Douglas Wayne Townsend

Vol. 96 (1981), No. 1, 225–242
Abstract

Let f be a meromorphic function in the unit disk, and let ϕ(r,f) be the number of solutions of the equation Re f(rei𝜃) = 0 for 0 𝜃 2π. In this paper we bound ϕ(r,f) off an exceptional set of r values, and Φ(r,f) = 0rϕ(t,f)(1 t)1 dt for all r, in terms of the Nevanlinna characteristic function of f. We then give examples to show that the bounds obtained are the best possible.
