Abstract

The classical Schwarz lemma for any scalar-valued holomorphic function mapping the open unit disc into itself is generalized, replacing by a holomorphic map of into a unital associative Banach algebra , and by the spectral radius of (). If and is a complex Hilbert space, the behaviour of the numerical radius of is also investigated.
