Abstract

A classical theorem of Lindelöf asserts that if ƒ is a function analytic and bounded in the unit disc δ which has the asymptotic value L at a point ξ ε ∂ δ then it has the non-tangential limit L at ξ. This result does not remain true for functions f analytic in δ whose maximum modulus grows to infinity arbitrarily slowly. However, the second author has recently obtained some results of Lindelöf type valid for these functions. In this paper we obtain new results of this kind. We prove that if f is an analytic function of slow growth in δ and ξ ε ∂ δ, then certain restrictions on the growth of ƒ′ along a segment which ends at ξ do imply that ƒ has a non-tangential limit at ξ.
