If $U$ is a domain in the complex plane $\bold C$ and the function $\psi(z)$ is holomorphic in $U$, then let $M_\psi(U)=\sup\{|\psi (z)|\colon z\in U\}$, and denote by $n_\psi(U)$ the number of roots of $\psi(z)$ in $U$ (counting multiplicity). Also, let $D_r=\{z\colon |z| Question mark \? %% Commercial at \@ Left bracket \[ Backslash \\ %% Right bracket \] Circumflex \^ Underscore \_ %% Grave accent \` Left brace \{ Vertical bar \| %% Right brace \} Tilde \~} \endinput
