In this paper we extend the theory of maximal convergence introduced by Walsh to functions of squared modulus holomorphic type, i.e.
where
g is holomorphic in an open connected neighborhood of
![]()
. We introduce in accordance to the well-known complex maximal convergence number for holomorphic functions a real maximal convergence number for functions of squared modulus holomorphic type and prove several maximal convergence theorems. We achieve that the real maximal convergence number for
F is always greater or equal than the complex maximal convergence number for
g and equality occurs if
L is a closed disk in
![]()
. Among other various applications of the resulting approximation estimates we show that for functions
F of squared holomorphic type which have no zeros in
![]()
the relation
