0 Introduction

In this paper, a unit disc {z:|z|<1} is denoted by D. The Möbius transformation of D is defined by:

φ a ( z ) = a - z 1 - a ¯ z , a D

Note that

β ( z , w ) = 1 2 l o g 1 + ρ ( z , w ) 1 - ρ ( z , w )

is the hyperbolic metric for any z,wD, where ρ(z,w)=|φz(w)| is the pseudohyperbolic distance for any z,wD. For 0<p<, an analytic function f belongs to the space Qp if

f Q p 2 = s u p a D D | f ' ( z ) | 2 ( 1 - | φ a ( z ) | 2 ) p d A ( z ) < (1)

where dA(z) is an area measure on D normalized, which makes DdA(z)=1.

Equipped with the norm |f(0)|+fQp, the space Qp is Banach. Generally, Qp is the Bloch space if p>1. If p=1,Q1 coincides with BMOA, analytic function of bounded mean oscillation. Q0 is just the Dirichlet space. Regarding the theory of Qp spaces, readers may refer to Refs. [1-4].

An analytic function f belongs to the Bloch space, denoted by B, if

f B = s u p z D ( 1 - | z | 2 ) | f ' ( z ) | <

The space H consists of all bounded analytic functions f on D with:

s u p z D | f ( z ) | <

For a subarc ID, θ acts as the midpoint of I and denotes the Carleson box:

S ( I ) = { z D : 1 - | I | < | z | < 1 , | θ - a r g z | < | I | 2 }

for |I|1 and S(I)=D for |I|>1. A positive measure μ is a p-Carleson measure if

μ p = s u p I D μ ( S ( I ) ) | I | p <

where |I| denotes the arc length of I. An analytic function fQp if and only if the positive measure |f'(z)|2(1-|z|2)pdA(z) is a p-Carleson measure.

The sequence space SCMp consists of all complex numbers {λj}, so that j=1(1-|zj|2)p|λj|2δzj is a p-Carleson measure, where δz denotes the unit point-mass measure at zD and {zj}n=1D.

A sequence {zn}n=1 is called an interpolating sequence for QpH if, for each bounded sequence {λn}n=1 of complex values, there exists an fQpH such that f(zn)=λn for all n.

A sequence {zn}n=1 in D is separated if infmnρ(zn,zm)>0.

Usually {zn}n=1 is an interpolating sequence for H if and only if {zn}n=1 in D is separated and n(1-|zn|2)δzj is a Carleson measure for H. See Ref.[5] for interpolating sequence in H. Readers can refer to Refs.[6,7] about the Hardy and Bergman space theory. See Ref.[8] for more interpolating sequences. Sundberg solved the interpolating question for BMOA in Ref.[9]. A necessary and sufficient condition is obtained for the interpolating sequence in the Bloch space [10]. Pascuas characterized the interpolating sequence in the Bloch space by the p-Carleson measure, as details in Ref. [11]. Ref. [12] gave a characterization of the interpolating sequence for QpH and HQp,0. The main result is listed as follows:

Theorem 1[12] Let p(0,1). A sequence {zn}n=1 of points in the unit disc is an interpolating sequence for QpH if and only if {zn}n=1 in D is separated and n(1-|zn|2)pδzn(z) is a p-Carleson measure.

In the following analysis, fg (for two functions f and g) if there is a constant C such that fCg. fg (that is, f is comparable with g) whenever gfg.

1 Interpolating Sequence in QpH

If the sequence {zn} is an interpolating sequence for the Bloch space, then

β ( z n , z m ) C β ( z n , 0 ) (2)

The aforementioned condition represents the separation criterion. It is subsequently reformulated into the following condition

1 - ρ ( z n , z m ) C ( 1 - | z n | ) λ (3)

where λ is the constant from the separation condition (2), coinciding with the one used in Ref.[13]. Readers can refer to Refs.[8] and [13] about the separation condition (3). The condition (2) holds, then {zn} is separated.

To a point z, a region Vz is defined by

V z = { w : w D , | w - z * | ( 1 - | z | ) β } (4)

where z* denotes the radial projection z|z| of z and 0<β<1. If the two regions Vzn, Vzm intersect and |zn|>|zm|, then (1-|zn|)(1-|zm|)η can be obtained and zm is outside of Vzn. The constants β(0<β<1) and η(η>1) are chosen so that 1<η<2β-11-λ and ηβ>1. Those implications of the separation condition can be found in Ref. [13].

This paper chooses a constant ρ so that 1>ρ>β. The constant ρ will be needed to define the support of the function g in the following Lemma 1. The paper constructs a function living essentially in a region Vz, with reasonable estimates of how it behaves for all points.

Lemma 1   Let s>-1 and 0<p<2. For any given point bD, there exists a function gb so that:

f b ( w ) = D g b ( u ) ( 1 - | u | ) s ( 1 - u ¯ w ) 1 + s d A ( u )

satisfies fb(b)=1, and for points in Vb, the value is estimated by:

f b ( w ) = c ( γ ( w ) ) + C ( 1 - | b | ) 1 - ρ

Here γ=γ(w) is defined by |w-b*|=(1-|b|)1-ρ and

c ( γ ( w ) ) = { 0 ,                         γ < ρ , ( 1 - | b | ) 1 - γ ,     ρ γ 1 , 1 ,                         γ > 1 .

For points outside of Vb, the bound of f is obtained by:

| f b ( w ) | C ( 1 - | b | ) p (5)

Further,

D | g b ( u ) | 2 ( 1 - | u | ) p d A ( u ) C ( 1 - | b | ) p (6)

Proof   In this proof, a technique that is borrowed from Ref.[8] has been adapted to enhance its efficiency. The relation defining gb is as follows

( 1 - | ζ | ) s ( 1 - ζ ¯ b ) 1 + s g b ( ζ ) = K 1 - | b | | ζ - b * | 3

where ζ lives in the annulus

E b = { ζ : ( 1 - | b | ) | ζ - b * | ( 1 - | b | ) ρ } (7)

and is further restricted to a cone with the vertex in b* and a fixed small aperture. For all others ζ, gb is taken to be zero. There is the following equation:

D ( 1 - | ζ | ) s ( 1 - ζ ¯ b ) 1 + s g b ( ζ ) d A ( ζ ) = K ( 1 - | b | ) ( 1 - | b | ) ( 1 - | b | ) ρ 1 r 2 d r = K ( 1 - ( 1 - | b | ) 1 - ρ )

where K is chosen so that fb(b)=1. Observing the defining of gb, then we get:

| g b ( ζ ) | C 1 - | b | | ζ - b * | 2

The function fb(w) is to be estimated. Let us suppose that w is in Vb. Let:

E 1 = { ζ : | ζ - b * | ( 1 - | b | ) γ }

and

E 2 = { ζ : | ζ - b * | > ( 1 - | b | ) γ }

The contributions on E1 and E2 are considered. For any ζE1, there is |1-ζ¯w|C(1-|b|)γ by |w-b*|=(1-|b|)γ. Then:

| E 1 ( 1 - | ζ | ) s ( 1 - ζ ¯ w ) 1 + s g b ( ζ ) d A ( ζ ) | C ( 1 - | b | ) - γ ( 1 + s ) E 1 | g b ( ζ ) | ( 1 - | ζ | s ) d A ( ζ ) C ( 1 - | b | ) 1 - γ .

For E2, after a calculation,

           E 2 ( 1 - | ζ | ) s ( 1 - ζ ¯ b ) 1 + s g b ( ζ ) d A ( ζ ) = ( 1 - | b | ) 1 - γ - ( 1 - | b | ) 1 - ρ .

Since

| ( 1 - ζ ¯ w ) - 1 - s - ( 1 - ζ ¯ b ) - 1 - s | C | b - w | ( 1 - | ζ | ) - 2 - s ,

and

| b - w | | b - b * | + | w - b * | 2 ( 1 - | b | ) γ ,

then

  | E 2 ( 1 - | ζ | ) s ( 1 - ζ ¯ w ) 1 + s g ( ζ ) d A ( ζ ) - E 2 ( 1 - | ζ | ) s ( 1 - ζ ¯ b ) 1 + s g ( ζ ) d A ( ζ ) |

C | b - w | E 2 | g ( ζ ) | ( 1 - | ζ | ) 2 d A ( ζ ) C ( 1 - | b | ) 1 - γ + O ( 1 - | b | ) 1 - ρ .

For a point w outside of Vb, |1-w¯ζ|(1-|b|)β holds when ζ belongs to the support of gb. Thus,

| f b ( w ) | ( 1 - | b | ) ( 1 + s ) ( ρ - β ) .

p = ( 1 + s ) ( ρ - β ) for sufficiently large s can be obtained so that the condition (5) holds. Finally, we can get (6) by the direct calculation.

An operator Ts is defined as follows:

T s ( g ) ( z ) = D ( 1 - | w | 2 ) s ( 1 - w ¯ z ) 2 + s w ¯ g ( w ) d A ( w ) (8)

where g is a measurable function on D. The following Lemma 2 is Lemma 3.1.2 in Ref.[2].

Lemma 2   Let p>0. If |g(z)|2(1-|z|2)pdA(z) is a p-Carleson measure on D, then

| T s ( g ) ( z ) | 2 ( 1 - | z | 2 ) p d A ( z )

is also a p-Carleson measure on D.

A finite number of points can be added to an interpolating sequence, rendering it interpolating. This fact is employed in Ref. [13] to derive the implications of the separation condition.

Lemma 3   Let {zn}n=1 be a sequence in D so that n(1-|zn|)p<. When (3) holds and {λn}l, it can be founded by {aj}j=1, and δ(0,1) so that f(z)=ajfzj approximates it in the sense

f ( z n ) - λ n l δ λ n l

The coefficients ai as well as fH are bounded by Cλnl. Corresponding to zn, fzn is the function in Lemma 1.

Proof   Without loss of generality, it is supposed λnl=1. The points are ordered in sequence by their distance to the boundary. To a point z1, an increasing chain of regions Vz1Vz2Vzk is chosen at each step, selecting the smallest region strictly containing all the previous ones. βj=c(γj) is defined in Lemma 1, where γj is given by

| z j - 1 - z j * | = ( 1 - | z j | ) γ j .

The coefficients a2,,ak corresponding z2,,zk are already defined. An induction is assumed that |3nβiai|1. The coefficient a1 corresponding to z1 is determined by the equation:

a 1 = λ 1 - 2 n a i β i

Note that

2 n β i a i = β 2 ( a 2 + 3 n β i a i ) + ( 1 - β 2 ) 3 n β i a i = β 2 λ 2 + ( 1 - β 2 ) 3 n β i a i .

Since a2 is defined in the same way as a1, |2nβiai|1 can be obtained. The above estimate gives |a1|2. The asserted properties of f is checked. A point z1 is fixed, and a notation is kept as in the construction above. Here:

f ( z 1 ) - λ 1 = i = 2 n a i ( f z i ( z 1 ) - β i ) + z i z 1 , , z j λ j f z i ( z 1 ) (9)

The first term of the right of (9) should be considered first. Since

          | z 1 - z i - 1 | | z 1 - z i - 1 * | + | z i - 1 - z i - 1 * |                    ( 1 - | z i | ) η β + ( 1 - | z i | ) η ,

then

| f z i ( z 1 ) - β i | C ( 1 - | z i | ) 1 - ρ .

By repeatedly applying the separation condition, there comes:

( 1 - | z i | ) ( 1 - | z n | ) η n - i

Then

1 n | a i ( f z i ( z 1 ) - β ) | 1 n | a i | ( 1 - | z i | ) 1 - ρ 1 n ( 1 - | z i | ) 1 - ρ 1 n ( 1 - | z n | ) ( 1 - ρ ) η n - i C ( 1 - | z n | ) 1 - ρ .

Now, let us look to the second term of the right of (9). If z1 is not in Vzi, by Lemma 1 the estimate is made as follows:

| f z i ( z 1 ) | | λ i | ( 1 - | z i | ) p .

If z1 is in Vzi, Vzj is founded in the chain not contained in Vzi so that |zj||zi|. Since

d i a m ( V z j ) 2 ( 1 - | z j | 2 ) η β 2 ( 1 - | z i | ) η β 2 ( 1 - | z j | ) ,

then |z1-zi*|C(1-|zi|)β. This gives the estimate

| f z i ( z 1 ) | C ( 1 - | z i | ) p .

The above estimates show that

    | f ( z 1 ) - λ 1 | 1 n | a i | | f z i ( z 1 ) - β i | + z i z 1 , , z j | λ j f z i ( z 1 ) | 1 n | a i | ( 1 - | z i | ) 1 - ρ + z i z 1 , , z j | λ j | ( 1 - | z j | ) p 1 n ( 1 - | z i | ) 1 - ρ + ( z i z 1 , , z j ( 1 - | z j | ) p ) .

Note: the last term is finite by the p-Carleson measure condition. The left expression can be made smaller than a δ<1 by removing finitely many points from the sequence.

Now, let us prove fH. If z is not contained in Vzi, then |f(z)|C is easy to get. If z is included in some region Vz1, it is assumed that Vz1 is the smallest, and |f(z)| is bounded by applying the estimates on fzi(z1).

This paper points out that the following result is essential Theorem 1. Here, a new method is used to construct the function sequence fjQpH such that f=jajfzjQpH.

Theorem 2   A sequence {zn}n=1 is an interpolating sequence for QpH if and only if the condition (3) holds and n(1-|zn|2)pδzn(z) is a p-Carleson measure. Furthermore, there is an analytic function f=jajfzjQpH such that f(zn)=λn,n=1,2,, for any sequence {λn}l.

Proof   Note the condition (3) holds. By repeatedly applying Lemma 3 we can find a function f=jajfzjH with f(zj)=λj satisfying |aj|Cλjl. Since each fzj comes from a gzj as in Lemma 1, f is given by g=jajgzj and

f ' ( w ) = T s g ( w ) = D u ¯ ( 1 - | u | ) s ( 1 - u ¯ w ) 2 + s g ( u ) d A ( u )

As a consequence of the separation condition, the support of gi is disjoint. Also, if the support of gi intersects a Carleson box S(I), then zi is contained in S(2I). Just for this condition, a relation can be obtained:

    S ( I ) | j a j g z j | 2 ( 1 - | z | ) p d A ( z ) j | a j | 2 S ( 2 I ) | g z j ( z ) | 2 ( 1 - | z | ) p d A ( z ) C z j S ( 2 I ) ( 1 - | z j | ) p C | I | p .

Then f=jajfzjQpH, by Lemma 2.

Conversely, n(1-|zn|2)δzn(z) is a p-Carleson measure by Theorem 1. Since {zn} is also an interpolating sequence for Bloch space, the condition (3) holds by (2).

Remark 1   The analytic function f in Theorem 1 is not unique. It is assumed that f=jajfzjQpH such that f(zn)=λn,n=1,2, for any sequence {λn}l, causing the following relation,

s u p a D n = 1 | f ( z n ) | 2 ( 1 - | φ a ( z n ) | 2 ) p <

Since the inner function

B ( z ) = n = 1 | z n | z n z n - z 1 - z n ¯ z Q p

by Theorem 5.2.1 in Ref.[1], then fBQp by Lemma 1 of Ref.[14]. h(z)=f(z)(1+B(z)) is defined. Then h(zn)=λn,n=1,2,, and hQpH.

2 Interpolating Sequence in F(p,q,s)H

For 0<p<,0<s<,an analytic function f belongs to the space F(p,p-2,s) if

s u p a D D | f ' ( z ) | p ( 1 - | z | 2 ) p - 2 ( 1 - | φ a ( z ) | 2 ) s d A ( z ) < (10)

We know in this paper that the space F(p,p-2,s) is a subspace of B by Corollary 2.8 of Ref.[15]. An analytic function fF(p,p-2,s) if and only if the positive measure |g'(z)|p(1-|z|2)p-2+sdA(z) is an s-Carleson measure. F(p,p-2,s) belongs to a general of function space F(p,q,s). See Ref.[15].

A sequence {zn} in the unit disc is an interpolating sequence for F(p,p-2,s)H if each bounded sequence {λn} of complex values; there exists an fF(p,p-2,s)H so that f(zn)=λn for all n. Yuan and Tong gave a characterization of the interpolating sequences for F(p,p-2,s)H in Ref. [16].

Lemma 4[16] Let 1<p<,0<s<1. Then {zn}n=1D is an interpolating sequence for F(p,p-2,s)H if and only if {zn}n=1 is a separated sequence and n=1(1-|zn|2)pδzn is an s-Carleson measure.

The paper obtains a result about the space F(p,p-2,s).

Theorem 3   Let 1<p<,0<s<1. Let {zn} be a sequence on D. Then {zn}n=1is an interpolating sequence for F(p,p-2,s)H if and only if the condition (3) holds and n(1-|z|2)p-2+sδzn(z) is an s-Carleson measure. Futhermore, there is an analytic function f=jajfzjF(p,p-2,s)H such that f(zn)=λn,n=1,2, for any sequence {λn}l.

The proof of Theorem 3 can be omitted, as it bears similarity to the proof of Theorem 2.

We know in this paper that F(p,p-2,s) contains only constant functions if p+s1. Qian and Ye gave the following result in Ref. [17].

Lemma 5 [17] Let 0<s<1, max {s,1-s}<p1. Suppose {zn}n=1 is a sequence in D. Then {zn}n=1 is an interpolating sequence for F(p,p-2,s)H if and only if {zn}n=1 is a separated sequence and n=1(1-|zn|2)pδzn is an s-Carleson measure.

We have a similar result for F(p,p-2,s)H, where 0<s<1, max{s,1-s}<p1. We omitted the detail analysis.
