Bound on gradient positive harmonic function
My question is essentially the same as An inequality concerning an harmonic function , however I did not find the answer given satisfactory. To restate it, I would like to solve the following:
Let $h$ be a positive harmonic function on $K(0, rho) = { z in mathbb{C} vert vert z vert < rho }$. Show that
$$
vert nabla h(0) vert leq frac{2}{rho} h(0)
$$
and deduce that
$$
vert nabla h(z) vert leq frac{2rho}{rho^2- vert z vert^2} h(z) qquad quad , vert z vert < rho
$$
Showing that $
vert nabla h(0) vert leq frac{2}{rho} h(0)
$ was rather easy using Harnacks inequality, my issue comes when trying to prove the last bit. Supposedly we should be able to define an automorphism $varphi: K(0,rho) to K(0,rho)$ such that $varphi(0)= z$ and hence use the first result on $h circ varphi$, since if $varphi$ is holomorphic $hcirc varphi$ is again positive harmonic. Now my problem is that I fail to see why doing so wouldn't just imply that
$$
vert nabla h(z) vert leq frac{2}{rho} h(z)
$$
which is not quite what we want.

You forgot to apply the chainrule when computing the gradient

Of course! Doing so gave me the result that I wanted. I don't know how I missed that, but thanks a lot :-)
