Uniform convergence of infinite series

Suppose that $f(x)$ is analytic in $\{z: |z|<1\}$ and $f(0) =0$. Prove that $\sum f(z^n)$ converges uniformly on compact subsets of $\{z: |z|<1\}$.

    I know this somehow uses the Schwartz lemma. Form $f(0)=0$ I can have $f(z^n) = z^n g(z^n)$ with g(0) not equal to 0. Then I don't know if my g(z^n) will be bounded on D. If that is the case I will be able to apply Weierstrass Approximation Theorem to conclude that the series is bounded on D. I want to see how the rigorous proof of this goes.2012-12-19

Here is a proof that just uses the fact that $f$ is $C^1$: Let $K$ be a compact subset of the unit ball $B$. Since $f$ is analytic, we have $L_K = \sup_{z \in K} |f'(z)| < \infty$. Hence $f$ is Lipschitz on $K$, and since $f(0) = 0$, we have $|f(z)| \leq L_K |z|$ for $x \in B$.

Hence $|\sum_n f(z^n) | \leq \sum_n |f(z^n)| \leq L_K \sum_n |z^n| \leq L_K \sum_n |z|^n$.

    thanks a lot. This gives another idea of proof.2012-12-19
