Extract

If f is meromorphic in D = {,|z| < 1}, we say that f has the asymptotic value a at ζ, ζ ∈ C(={|z| = 1}), if there exists an arc Γ such that Γ ends at ζ, (Γ − {ζ}) ⊂ D, and f has the limit a as |z| → 1 on Γ. The class (M) originally defined by G. R. MacLane ((8), p. 8), consists of those functions that are non-constant and holomorphic (meromorphic) in D and that have asymptotic values at a dense subset of C. In (8), p. 36, MacLane has shown the following three conditions are sufficient for a non-constant holomorphic function f to be in :
