I am trying to solve the following problem. Let $f$ be an analytic function defined on $\mathbb{D}=\{z:|z| <1 \}$ such that range of $f$ is contained in $\mathbb{C}$ \ $(-\infty,0]$.Then there exist an analytic function $g$ such that $Re g(z) \ge 0$ and $g$ is a square root of $f$ on $\mathbb{D}$ and there exist an analytic function $g$ such that $Re g(z) \le0$ and $g$ is a square root of $f$ on $\mathbb{D}$. Clearly fuction $Log(f(z))$ and function $f(z)^{1/n} $are well defined according to given co-domain of $f$ . But these functions are not required function according to me. Then how to find required function $g$. Since $f$ is non zero so $f^{'}/f$ is also analytic and there is a function $g$ such that $g=Log(f(z))$. Now i am stuck please some one help.

i think both branch of square root of f will work... – neelkanth Jun 02 '15 at 10:25

First you map the unit disk to the right-hand half-plane by a fractional-linear transformation. Then apply square root. – Lubin Jun 03 '15 at 04:22

If possible please solve it completely....thanks in advance – neelkanth Jun 04 '15 at 03:02

My comment was completely wrong, sorry. I’ll also comment below. – Lubin Jun 04 '15 at 17:24

Clearly both branches of $f(z)^{1/2}$ will form the required function $g.$

I disagree with these comments. Since $f$ maps into the slit disk (plane minus the nonpositive real axis), a domain on which the square root is well defined in such a way that $\sqrt1=1$, OP may indeed take the square root of $f$ to solve his problem. – Lubin Jun 04 '15 at 17:26

Can you elaborate more on how both the branches of $f(z)^{\frac 12}$ form the required function $g$? – Error 404 Jun 15 '18 at 09:23
