Coefficient bounds for Banach-valued nonvanishing holomorphic maps
Determine sharp bounds for the norms of the Taylor coefficient vectors c_n in the expansion f(z) = c_0 + c_1 z + c_2 z^2 + ⋯ for nonvanishing holomorphic maps f: D → X whose values lie in the unit ball B(X) of a complex Banach space X. This problem extends the Hummel–Scheinberg–Zalcman coefficient problem from scalar Hardy spaces to Banach-valued holomorphic functions and seeks explicit, optimal estimates on the coefficient norms under the nonvanishing and bounded-range constraints.

One of the interesting extensions of the Hummel-Scheinberg-Zalcman problem (also still unsolved) is to estimate the Taylor coefficients of nonvanishing holomorphic maps f(z) = c_0 + c_1 z + dots of the unit disk D into other complex Banach spaces X.
This problem provides the main inspiration for our study and is still open. Upper bounds, valid for all n\ge 1 simultaneously and strictly smaller than 1 (with approximate values of 0.999\ldots), were obtained in and . The conjecture has been proved for n\le 5 (cf.\/ , , , , and ), including a recent computer-assisted proof for n=6, but remains open to this date for all larger values of n.
