Abstract

This paper is concerned with a special class of holomorphic functions with extremal properties of its absolute values on arbitrary closed line segments in the complex plane. The main result is a geometrical characterization of the functions zeaz+b, z(az+b)n and z(az+b)α+iβ with a,b,, α,β, n.
