Given a domain g2 of C and a function p > 0 on f2, Ap = Ap(~d) denotes the ring of all functions f ' f 2 ~ l E analytic on f2 for which there exist constants c l = c l ( f ) ~ O and c 2 = c 2 ( f ) > 0 such that [ f ( z ) l~c l exp(c2p(z)), zef2. If F1, ..., FN e Ap, and if G ~ Ap belongs to the ideal J(F1, ..., FN) of Ap generated by F1 . . . . . F N, then it is easily seen that there must exist constants cl, c 2 ~ 0 such that IG(z)[ < cl [IF(z)H exp(c2p(z)), z ~ f2, (1.1)
