Here's this week's problem.

-----

Problem: If $f$ is a holomorphic function on the strip $-1<y<1$, $x\in\mathbb{R}$ with $\left|f(z)\right|\leq A(1+|z|)^{\eta},\quad\eta\text{ a fixed real number}$
for all $z$ in that strip, show that for each integer $n\geq 0$ there exists $A_n\geq 0$ so that
$|f^{(n)}(x)|\leq A_n(1+|x|)^{\eta},\quad\text{for all }x\in\mathbb{R}.$

No one answered this week's problem. You can find my solution below.

For $x\in\mathbb{R}$, applying Cauchy's inequalities to $f(z)$ on the open disk $D_r(x)$ centered at $x$ with radius $0<r<1$, we get
\begin{aligned}|f^{(n)}(x)| &\leq \frac{n!}{r^n} \sup\limits_{|z-x|=r}|f(z)|\\ & \leq\frac{n!}{r^n} A\sup\limits_{|z-x|=r} (1+|z|)^{\eta}\\ &\leq\frac{n!}{r^n} A(2+|x|)^{\eta}.\end{aligned}
Letting $r\rightarrow 1$, we get
$$|f^{(n)}(x)|\leq n! A(2+|x|)^{\eta}.$$
Thus, we can set
$$A_n=n! A\sup\limits_{x\in\mathbb{R}}\frac{(2+|x|)^{\eta}}{(1+|x|)^{\eta}}.$$
This completes the proof.
