Abstract

Assume that f is a real ρ-harmonic function of the unit diskD onto the interval (-1,1), where ρ(u,v) = R(u) is a metric defined in the infinite strip (-1,1) × R. Then we prove that {equation presented} for all z ∈ D, provided that ρ has a non-negative Gaussian curvature. This extends several results in the field and answers to a conjecture proposed by the first author in 2014. Such an inequality is not true for negatively curved metrics.
