This thesis deals with the Open Mapping Theorem for analytic functions on domains in the complex plane: A non-constant analytic function on an open subset of the complex plane is an open map. As applications of this fundamental theorem we study Schwarz’s Lemma and its consequences concerning the groups of conformal automorphisms of the unit disk and of the upper halfplane. In the last part of the thesis we indicate the first steps in hyperbolic geometry. / Denna uppsats behandlar satsen om öppna avbildningar för analytiska funktioner på domäner i det komplexa talplanet: En icke-konstant analytisk funktion på en öppen delmängd av det komplexa talplanet är en öppen avbildning. Som tillämpningar på denna fundamentala sats studeras Schwarz’s lemma och dess konsekvenser för grupperna av konforma automorfismer på enhetsdisken och på det övre halvplanet. I uppsatsens sista del antyds de första stegen inom hyperbolisk geometri.

Constructive reverse mathematics is a programme in which non- and semi-constructive principles are classified in accordance with which other principles they imply or are implied by, relative to the framework of Bishop-style constructive mathematics. One such principle that has come under focus in recent years is an antithesis of Specker's theorem (that theorem being a characteristic result of Russian recursive mathematics): this so-called anti-Specker property is intuitionistically valid, and of considerable utility in proving results of real and complex analysis. We introduce several new weakenings of the anti-Specker property and explore their role in constructive reverse mathematics, identifying implication relationships that they stand in to other notable principles. These include, but are not limited to: variations upon Brouwer's fan theorem, certain compactness properties, and so-called zero-stability properties. We also give similar classification results for principles arising directly from Specker's theorem itself, and present new, direct proofs of related fan-theoretic results. We investigate how anti-Specker properties, alongside power-series-based arguments, enable us to recover information about the structure of holomorphic functions: in particular, they allow us to streamline a sequence of maximum-modulus theorems.

The problem of establishing the correct approach to complexity is a very hot and crucial issue to which this dissertation gives some contributions. This dissertation considers two main possibilities, one, advocated by Tsallis and co-workers, setting the foundation of complexity on a generalized, non-extensive , form of thermodynamics, and another, proposed by the UNT Center for Nonlinear Science, on complexity as a new condition that, for physical systems, would be equivalent to a state of matter intermediate between dynamics and thermodynamics. In the first part of this dissertation, the concept of Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy is introduced. The Pesin theorem is generalized in the formalism of Tsallis non-extensive thermodynamics. This generalized form of Pesin theorem is used in the study of two major classes of problems, whose prototypes are given by the Manneville and the logistic map respectively. The results of these studies convince us that the approach to complexity must be made along lines different from those of the non-extensive thermodynamics. We have been convinced that the Lévy walk can be used as a prototype model of complexity, as a condition of balance between order and randomness that yields new phenomena such as aging, and multifractality. We reach the conclusions that these properties must be studied within a dynamic rather than thermodynamic perspective. The second part focuses on the study of the heart beating problem using a dynamic model, the so-called memory beyond memory, based on the Lévy walker model. It is proved that the memory beyond memory effect is more obvious in the healthy heart beating sequence. The concepts of fractal, multifractal, wavelet transformation and wavelet transform maximum modulus (WTMM) method are introduced. Artificial time sequences are generated by the memory beyond memory model to mimic the heart beating sequence. Using WTMM method, the multifratal singular spectrums of the sequences are calculated. It is clear that the sequence with strong memory beyond memory effect has broader singular spectrum.2003-08

Soit p un polynôme d'une variable complexe z. On peut trouver plusieurs inégalités reliant le module maximum de p et une combinaison de ses coefficients. Dans ce mémoire, nous étudierons principalement les preuves connues de l'inégalité de Visser. Nous montrerons aussi quelques généralisations de cette inégalité. Finalement, nous obtiendrons quelques applications de l'inégalité de Visser à l'inégalité de Chebyshev. / Let p be a polynomial in the variable z. There exist several inequalities between the coefficents of p and its maximum modulus. In this work, we shall mainly study known proofs of the Visser inquality together with some extensions. We shall finally apply the inequality of Visser to obtain extensions of the Chebyshev inequality.
