in the theory of functions of a complex variable

If is a regular analytic function in the disc , is a positive number, and if

is the average value, then is a non-decreasing function of that is logarithmically convex relative to (cf. Convexity, logarithmic). The theorem was established by G.H. Hardy [1].

The assertion on the logarithmic convexity remains valid for a function that is regular in an annulus (see [1]).

Hardy's theorem generalizes to subharmonic functions (cf. Subharmonic function) in a ball of , (see also [2]).
