Under a certain assumption of f and 9 in Loo which is considered by Sarason, a strong separation theorem is proved.This is available to study a Douglas algebra [HOO, f] generated by Hoo and f.It is proved that(1) ball(B/Hoo + C) does not have exposed points for every Douglas algebra B, (2) Sarason's three functions problem is solved affirmatively, (3) some characterization of f for which [HOO,f] is singly generated, and (4) the M-ideal conjecture for Douglas algebras is not true.
