In this paper, we investigate the properties of locally univalent and multivalent planar harmonic mappings. First, we discuss coefficient estimates and Landau’s theorem for some classes of locally univalent harmonic mappings, and then we study some Lipschitz-type spaces for locally univalent and multivalent harmonic mappings.

We first study the bounded mean oscillation of planar harmonic mappings. Then we establish a relationship between Lipschitz-type spaces and equivalent modulus of real harmonic mappings. Finally, we obtain sharp estimates on the Lipschitz number of planar harmonic mappings in terms of the bounded mean oscillation norm, which shows that the harmonic Bloch space is isomorphic to $BM{O}_{2} $ as a Banach space.

In this paper, our main aim is to discuss the properties of harmonic mappings in the unit ball 𝔹n. First, we characterize the harmonic Bloch spaces and the little harmonic Bloch spaces from 𝔹n to ℂ in terms of weighted Lipschitz functions. Then we prove the existence of a Landau–Bloch constant for a class of vector-valued harmonic Bloch mappings from 𝔹n to ℂn.

We characterize the Bloch space and the Besov spaces of harmonic functions on the open unit disc $D$ by using the following oscillation:

$$ \sup_\{\beta(z,w)\ltr\}(1-|z|^2)^{\alpha}(1-|w|^2)^{\beta}\biggl|\frac{\hat{D}^{(n-1)}h(z)-\hat{D}^{(n-1)}h(w)}{z-w}\biggr|, $$

where $\alpha+\beta=n$, $\alpha,\beta\in\mathbb{R}$ and $\displaystyle{\hat{D}^{(n)}=(\partial^{n}/\partial^{n}z+\partial^{n}/\partial^{n}\bar{z})}$.
