Let $f,g$ be a pair of univalent functions on a proper subdomain $\Omega$ of $\mathbb C$. Does their sum $f+g$ necessarily omit any complex value? Similarly, can all holomorphic function be written as sums of univalent functions?

    $\begingroup$ No to both in as simple domain as the unit disk. 1) $(1-z)^{-2}-(1+z)^{-2}$ 2) Univalent functions cannot grow too fast near the boundary. $\endgroup$
