Let f be analytic in the open unit disk B(0;1) = {z : |z| < 1} and continuous on the closed unit disk. Assume that |f(z)| <= 2 for |z| = 1, Im(z) >= 0, and |f(z)| <= 8 for |z| = 1, Im(z) < 0. I need to show that |f(0)| <= 4.

I'm not sure how to approach this. The most naive thing to do would be to say that |f(z)| <= 8 on the whole disk, and then use Cauchy's integral formula to say that |f(0)| <= 8.

It's not true that f(0) = int_{|z|=1} f(w)/w dw, is it? What is true is f(0) = int_{|z|=r} f(w)/w dw, and then if f is bounded you get an estimate involving r, then by sending r to 1 you can get a bound, which is how I got |f(z)| <= 8 on the whole disk.

How should I approach this?

Consider, say, h(z) = f(z) * f(-z) an apply Maximum Modulus Principle.

For other useful auxiliary functions h you may look here
http://groups.google.ca/group/sci.math/browse_thread/thread/d91d7f4153e06bfe/d4888af7ba847bf2?q=inequality+and+analytical&rnum=1#d4888af7ba847bf2

where the same problem was discussed

* In that thread there was a condition of analyticity of f on the whole
unit disk, but it was superfluous : in order to apply Maximum Modulus
Principle it is enough to have analyticity inside disk and continuity
on it's boundary as in you case,.

It follows that |f(z)| <= 2 on the whole disk.

It would if that were a period at the end of your quotation. But
it's a comma,
