Let G be a bounded, open, connected, non-empty subset of the complex plane C. We put the usual two dimensional (Lebesgue) area measure on G and consider the Hilbert space L2(G) that consists of the complex-valued, measurable functions defined on G that are square integrable. The inner product on L2(G) is given by the norm ‖h2 of a function h in L2(G) is given by ‖h2 = (∫G|h|2)1/2.

The Bergman space of G, denoted La2(G), is the set of functions in L2(G) that are analytic on G. The Bergman space La2(G) is actually a closed subspace of L2(G) (see [12 , Section 1.4]) and thus it is a Hilbert space.

Let G denote the closure of G and let C(G) denote the set of continuous, complex-valued functions defined on G.
