Of course, finding the infimum is computationally harder than answering the question of whether the infimum is less than or equal to some fixed value, but mathematically the problems are equivalent. By a standard compactness argument (what a complex analyst would call a normal family argument), the infimum in (IP) will be attained. By rescaling, we can assume this infimum is 1, and then the Pic...
