Definition
Let be the unit disc. Let be an integer. Let be a finite or infinite sequence of points of , with repetitions allowed, such that The Blaschke product with zeros (of order ) and is the function given by It is a finite Blaschke product when the sequence is finite.
Remarks
Under the condition above, the product converges uniformly on compact subsets of . So is holomorphic with , and its zeros are exactly and the , with multiplicity. Moreover the radial limit of has modulus at almost every point of the circle, so is an inner function. The factor makes the -th factor positive at ; some authors also allow a constant factor of modulus .
Example: for , the single factor is a finite Blaschke product. For one has , so on the circle.
Non-example: the points for fail the summability condition, since . For them the partial products tend to at every point of , so no Blaschke product has these zeros. In fact no bounded holomorphic function other than vanishes at all of them.
