Does there exist a bounded holomorphic function in the unit disk $D$ such that
$$fleft(1-frac1nright) = frac(-1)^nn$$
for $n = 1,2,3,dots$ ?
Sorry it's not homework so I've no idea how should I begin. I only noticed that $1-1/n$ has a limit point out of $D$. Also $f'(1)$ does not exist.

The obvious candidate for such $f$ is $ f(z)=(1-z)cosfracpi1-z$, but that is not bounded

I'm still wondering about the proof from fred, because if $f$ is bounded and analytic then why should the value at $1$ on the boundary not exist? If it would not I would even say the function is not holomorph.

Diger, f(z)=1/(1-z) is holomorphic on the open unit disk and is not bounded there.

@HagenvonEitzen Is guessing enough? Seems identity theorem doesn't apply here.

It is a well known consequence of Jensen's inequality that if $g$ is a non-zero bounded analytic function in the unit disk and its zeros are $a_1,a_2,...$ the $sum [1-|a_n|] <infty$. Let $g(z)=f(z)-(1-z)$. Then its zeros include $1-frac 1 2n$ which do not satisfy the summability condition. Hence $f(z)equiv (1-z)$. But this does not satisfy the hypothesis for odd $n$ so there is no bounded analytic function with the given property.

The section on Blaschke Products in Rudin's RCA has a proof of the result I have used in my answer.

Thanks for the reference. It's theorem 15.23 (in my edition). Took me a while to dig up what $U$ means in that setting. I had a guess, and Rudin does provide a list of symbols :-). I was a bit surprised that $U$ is reserved for the open unit disk because in topology books it is more often a generic open set.

@JyrkiLahtonen I didn't give you the theorem number because I have an Indain edition of the book and theorem numbers don't match with international editions.
– Kavi Rama Murthy
Aug 6 at 7:55
That's fine. Mentioning Blaschke products is sufficient. After all, that section is not too long. Also, theorem numbers may vary from one edition to another. Mine is the 3rd.
