Borel-Carathéodory theorem #
This file proves the Borel-Carathéodory theorem: for any function f analytic on the
open ball |z| < R such that Re(f z) < M for all |z| < R, we have
‖f z‖ ≤ 2 * M * ‖z‖ / (R - ‖z‖) + ‖f 0‖ * (R + ‖z‖) / (R - ‖z‖)

Implementation Notes #
The proof applies the Schwarz lemma to the transformed function fun z ↦ f z / (2 * M - f z),
which maps the ball |z| < R into the unit disk provided that (f z).re < M for all |z| < R.
After obtaining bounds on w, we invert the transformation to recover bounds on f.

Borel-Carathéodory theorem for functions vanishing at the origin.
If f is analytic on the open ball ‖z‖ < R, satisfies (f z).re < M for all such z,
and f 0 = 0, then ‖f z‖ ≤ 2 * M * ‖z‖ / (R - ‖z‖) for all ‖z‖ < R.
