If $f$ is an entire function with $|f(z)|>|f(\bar{z})|$ for all complex numbers $z$ in the upper half plane. How does this imply that $f$ has no zeros in the upper half plane?

    Where? If you're talking about zeros in the upper half plane then $f(z) = 0$ implies $0>|f(\bar z)|$ which cannot hold. – SBF Sep 21 '11 at 16:22
  • @Gortaur: I fixed it; I mean zeros in the upper half plane. – lenov Sep 21 '11 at 16:46

The answer is simple: for each $z$ in the upper half plain $|f(z)|>|f(\bar z)|\geq 0$ hence $f(z)\neq 0$.
