The Faber Polynomials for Annular Sectors

The Faber Polynomials for Circular Sectors

The Faber polynomials for a region of the complex plane, which are of interest as a basis for polynomial approximation of analytic functions, are determined by a conformai mapping of the complement of that region to the complement of the unit disc. We derive this conformai mapping for a circular sector {;: \z\ < 1, |argz| < i/a}, where a > 1, and obtain a recurrence relation for the coefficient...

Faber Polynomials for Rational Mapping Functions

Lattice Paths and Faber Polynomials

The rth Faber polynomial of the Laurent series f(t) = t + f0 + f1/t + f2/t + · · · is the unique polynomial Fr(u) of degree r in u such that Fr(f) = tr + negative powers of t. We apply Faber polynomials, which were originally used to study univalent functions, to lattice path enumeration.

Derivatives of Faber Polynomials and Markov Inequalities

We study asymptotic behavior of the derivatives of Faber polynomials on a set with corners at the boundary. Our results have applications to the questions of sharpness of Markov inequalities for such sets. In particular, the found asymptotics are related to a general Markov-type inequality of Pommerenke and the associated conjecture of Erdős. We also prove a new bound for Faber polynomials on p...

Ageneral solution,basedontheseparationofvariablesmethod,for the thermal spreadingresistance incompound annular sectors, is presented. Results are given for three heat  ux distributions: inverse parabolic, uniform, and parabolic proŽ les. The general solution can be used to model any number of equally spaced heat sources on a compound or isotropic annulus. Graphical results are presented for a ...
