Circle averages of log⁺ ‖f‖⁻¹ and a Fatou bound #
For f meromorphic on a circle, log⁺ ‖f‖⁻¹ = log⁺ ‖f‖ - log ‖f‖ is circle integrable, and its
circle average is the difference of the circle averages of log⁺ ‖f‖ and of log ‖f‖. This is the
identity ValueDistribution.proximity_sub_proximity_inv_eq_circleAverage of Nevanlinna theory, for
a function meromorphic only on the circle and a circle with arbitrary centre. Since the integrand is
nonnegative, the same identity also computes the lower Lebesgue integral of log⁺ ‖f‖⁻¹ over one
period. Fatou's lemma then bounds the measure of angles where values on a sequence of circles
approach zero through nonzero values; this last result only needs circle integrability.

log⁺ ‖f‖ is circle integrable if f is continuous on the circle.
log⁺ ‖f‖ is circle integrable over every circle inside a disc on which f is
holomorphic.
Circle averages of log⁺ ‖f - a‖ are at most those of log⁺ ‖f‖ plus
log⁺ ‖a‖ + log 2, whenever both integrands are circle integrable.
If f is meromorphic on a circle, then log⁺ ‖f‖⁻¹ is circle integrable there.
If f is meromorphic on a circle, then the circle average of log⁺ ‖f‖⁻¹ is the difference
of the circle averages of log⁺ ‖f‖ and of log ‖f‖.
If f is meromorphic on a circle, then the lower Lebesgue integral of log⁺ ‖f‖⁻¹ over one
period (0, 2π] of the circle is 2π times the difference of the circle averages of log⁺ ‖f‖
and of log ‖f‖.
Fatou's lemma on circles. If log⁺ ‖f‖⁻¹ is integrable on the circles about c of
radii ρ n, and its circle averages there are at most B, then the angles in one period along
which f (circleMap c (ρ n) θ) tends to 0 through nonzero values form a null set.
