Schur parameters and Carathéodory class (1902.02000v1)

Abstract: The Schur (resp. Carath\'eodory) class consists of all the analytic functions $f$ on the unit disk with $|f|\le 1$ (resp. $\Re f>0$ and $f(0)=1$). The Schur parameters $\gamma_0,\gamma_1,\dots (|\gamma_j|\le 1)$ are known to parametrize the coefficients of functions in the Schur class. By employing a recursive formula for it, we describe the $n$-th coefficient of a Carath\'eodory function in terms of $n$ independent variables $\gamma_1,\dots, \gamma_n$ with $|\gamma_j|\le 1.$ The mapping properties of those correspondences are also studied.
