Blow--up Solutions of Liouville's Equation and Quasi--Normality

We prove that the family $\mathcal{F}_C(D)$ of all meromorphic functions $f$ on a domain $D\subseteq \mathbb{C}$ with the property that the spherical area of the image domain $f(D)$ is uniformly bounded by $C π$ is quasi--normal of order $\le C$. We also discuss the close relations between this result and the well--known work of Brézis and Merle on blow--up solutions of Liouville's equation. These results are completely in the spirit of Gromov's compactness theorem, as pointed out at the end of the paper.

Estimates for probabilities of independent events and infinite series

This paper deals with (finite or infinite) sequences of arbitrary independent events in some probability space. We find sharp lower bounds for the probability of a union of such events when the sum of their probabilities is given. The results have parallel meanings in terms of infinite series.

Differential inequalities and a Marty-type criterion for quasi-normality

We show that the family of all holomorphic functions $f$ in a domain $D$ satisfying $$\frac{|f^{(k)}|}{1+|f|}(z)\le C \qquad \mbox{ for all } z\in D$$ (where $k$ is a natural number and $C>0$) is quasi-normal. Furthermore, we give a general counterexample to show that for $α>1$ and $k\ge2$ the condition $$\frac{|f^{(k)}|}{1+|f|^α}(z)\le C \qquad \mbox{ for all } z\in D$$ does not imply quasi-normality.

Quasi-normality induced by differential inequalities

We show that the family ${\cal F}_k$ of all meromorphic functions $f$ in a domain $D$ satisfying $$\frac{|f^{(k)}|}{1+|f|}(z)\ge C \qquad \mbox{ for all } z\in D$$ (where $k$ is a natural number and $C>0$) is quasi-normal. The proof relies mainly on the Zalcman-Pang rescaling method.

On the growth of real functions and their derivatives

We show that for any $k$-times continuously differentiable function $f:[a,\infty)\longrightarrow{\mathbb R}$, any integer $q\ge 0$ and any $α>1$ the inequality $$\liminf_{x\to\infty} \frac{x^k \cdot\log x\cdot \log_2 x\cdot\dots\cdot \log_q x \cdot f^{(k)}(x)}{1+|f(x)|^α}\le 0 $$ holds.

Differential inequalities and quasi-normal families

We show that a family ${\cal F}$ of meromorphic functions in a domain $D$ satisfying $$\frac{|f^{(k)}|}{1+|f^{(j)}|^α}(z)\ge C \qquad \mbox{for all} z\in D \mbox{and all} f\in {\cal F}$$ (where $k$ and $j$ are integers with $k>j\ge 0$ and $C>0$, $α>1$ are real numbers) is quasi-normal. Furthermore, if all functions in ${\cal F}$ are holomorphic, the order of quasi-normality of ${\cal F}$ is at most $j-1$. The proof relies on the Zalcman rescaling method and previous results on differential inequalities constituting normality.

A note on spherical derivatives and normal families

We show that a family of meromorphic functions in the unit disk $\dk$ whose spherical derivatives are uniformly bounded away from zero is normal. Furthermore, we show that for each $f$ meromorphic in $\dk$ we have $\inf_{z\in\dk} f^#(z)\le \frac{1}{2}$$ where $f^#$ denotes the spherical derivative of $f$.
