In mathematical complex analysis, Schottky's theorem, introduced by {{harvs|txt|authorlink=Friedrich Schottky|last=Schottky|year=1904}} is a quantitative version of Picard's theorem which states that the size |f(z)| of a holomorphic function f in the open unit disk that does not take the values 0 or 1 can be bounded in terms of z and f(0). Schottky's original theorem did not give an explicit bound for f. {{harvs|txt|last=Ostrowski|year1=1931|year2=1933}} gave some weak explicit bounds. {{harvtxt|Ahlfors|1938|loc=theorem B}} gave a strong explicit bound, showing that if f is holomorphic in the open unit disk and does not take the values 0 or 1 then . Several authors, such as {{harvtxt|Jenkins|1955}}, have given variations of Ahlfors's bound with better constants: in particular {{harvtxt|Hempel|1980}} gave some bounds whose constants are in some sense the best possible.
