%0 Journal Article %T A proper subclass of Maclane's class ¡ã ¡¯ %A May Hamdan %J International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences %D 1999 %I Hindawi Publishing Corporation %R 10.1155/s0161171299224635 %X The MacLane's class ¡ã ¡¯ of analytic functions is the class of nonconstant analytic functions in the unit disk that have asymptotic values at a dense subset of the unit circle. In this paper, we define a subclass ¡é of ¡ã ¡¯ consisting of those functions that have asymptotic values at a dense subset of the unit circle reached along rectifiable asymptotic paths. We also show that the class ¡é is a proper subclass of ¡ã ¡¯ by constructing a function f ¡é ¡ã ¡¯ that admits no asymptotic paths of finite length. %K Analytic functions %K asymptotic path %K tangential approximation %K proper subset %K construction %K unit disc. %U http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/S0161171299224635
