The class of functions
![]() |
that are regular in the disc and have positive real part there. The class is named after C. Carathéodory, who determined the precise set of values of the system of coefficients
,
, on the class
(see [1], [2]).
The Riesz–Herglotz theorem. In order that be of class
it is necessary and sufficient that it have a Stieltjes integral representation
![]() |
where is a non-decreasing function on
such that
.
By means of this representation it is easy to deduce integral parametric representations for classes of functions which are convex and univalent in the disc, star-shaped and univalent in the disc, and others.
The Carathéodory–Toeplitz theorem. The set of values of the system ,
, on
is the closed convex bounded set
of points of the
-dimensional complex Euclidean space at which the determinants
![]() |
are either all positive, or positive up to some number, beyond which they are all zero. In the latter case one obtains a face of the coefficient body
. Corresponding to each point of
there is just one function in the class
, which has the form
![]() |
where
![]() |
for ,
.
The set of values of the coefficients ,
on
is the disc
; the only functions corresponding to the circle
are
![]() |
The set of values of (
fixed,
) on
is the disc whose diameter is the interval
; the only functions corresponding to the boundary of this disc are
![]() |
Sets of values of systems of functionals of a more general type have also been considered (see [6]). For the class , variational formulas have been obtained by means of which a number of extremal problems in the class
are solved by the functions
,
(see [6]).
The main subclass of is the class
of functions
having real coefficients
,
. In order that
belong to the class
it is necessary and sufficient that it have a representation
![]() |
where is a non-decreasing function on
such that
. By means of this representation many extremal problems in the class
are solved.
