Mar 30, 2014 at 9:53 comment added fedja As to homework, the answer is "Yes", if the person took a decent course on Banach algebras recently and "No" otherwise. Our (or, at least, my) memory is short and rusty and our education is patchy, so, Noah, I guess I can kill you with an elementary for me question and, most likely, you can return the favor :-). Let us, hence, assume (unless it is obvious otherwise) that whoever asks a question asks it in good faith and for a good reason ;-).
Mar 30, 2014 at 9:44 comment added fedja Noam has essentially answered it. All we need to notice is that the trick he mentioned allows one to show that the real part of $(1-z)G(z)$ is positive in the closed unit disk except for the point $z=1$, so $G(z)$ cannot be $0$ or negative real (Except, maybe, at $1$? Nah, it equals $1$ there!). Hence, $\log$ has an analytic brunch in some neighborhood ($\mathbb C\setminus(-\infty,0]$) of the compact $G( \text{Clos}\mathbb D )$, so Wiener's theorem finishes the story in no time.

Mar 18, 2014 at 5:07 comment added user48365 You are right, but how to proof the absolutely convergent? I want to use Faa Di Bruno Formula(en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faà_di_Bruno's_formula) to get the expression of $q_i$. Then to estimate $\sum\limits_{i = 0}^\infty {\left| {{q_i}} \right|}$

Mar 18, 2014 at 3:06 comment added Noam D. Elkies There cannot be zeros in $|z|<1$ or even $|z| \leq 1$ because the hypothesis $p_0 > p_1 > p_2 > \cdots > 0$ implies that in the expansion $$ (1-z) \, G(z) = p_0 - \sum_{j=1}^\infty (p_j - p_{j-1}) \, z^j $$ all the coefficients $p_j - p_{j-1}$ are positive and their sum telescopes to $p_0$, so $$ \left| \sum_{j=1}^\infty (p_j - p_{j-1}) \, z^j \right| < p_0$ $$ for all $z \neq 1$ such that $|z| \leq 1$.

Mar 18, 2014 at 0:44 comment added user48365 If z has zeros,lnG(z) has no definition. So we must choose $p_i$ such that lnG(z) has definition.

Mar 17, 2014 at 18:51 comment added Alexandre Eremenko I don't understand the definition of $\log G(z)$ for $|z|<1$. What if your generating function has zeros in the unit disc?
