## Geometric function theory and Smale’s mean value conjecture.(English)Zbl 1113.30006

Summary: We improve an estimate of the constant in Smale’s mean value conjecture, by using the Bieberbach theorem for coefficients of univalent functions and an estimate of the hyperbolic density of a certain simply connected domain.
