We establish a sharp norm estimate of the Schwarzian derivative for a function in the classes of convex functions introduced by Ma and Minda [Proceedings of the Conference on Complex Analysis, International Press Inc., 1992, 157-169]. As applications, we give sharp norm estimates for strongly convex functions of order $α,~0<α<1,$ and for uniformly convex functions.
The main purpose of this paper is to obtain sharp bounds of the norm of Schwarzian derivative for convex mappings of order $alpha$ in terms of the value of $f''(0)$, in particular, when this quantity is equal to zero. In addition, we obtain sharp bounds for distortion and growth for this mappings and we generalized the results obtained by Suita and Yamashita for this particular case.
Some of important univalence criteria for a non-constant meromorphic function $f(z)$ on the unit disk $\ID$ involve its pre-Schwarzian or Schwarzian derivative. We consider an appropriate norm for the pre-Schwarzian derivative, and discuss the problem of finding the largest possible $r\in (0,1)$ for which the pre-Schwarzian norm of the dilation $r^{-1}f(rz)$ is not greater than a prescribed number for normalized univalent functions $f(z)$ in the unit disk. Similar results concerning the Schwarzian derivative are also obtained
In this article, we study preserving properties of certain nonlinear integral transforms in some classical families of normalized analytic univalent functions defined in the unit disk. Also, we find sharp pre-Schwarzian norm estimates of such integrals.
For a meromorphic function $f$ in the unit disk $U=\{z:\;|z|<1\}$ and arbitrary points $z_1,z_2$ in $U$ distinct from the poles of $f$, a sharp upper bound on the product $|f'(z_1)f'(z_2)|$ is established. Further, we prove a sharp distortion theorem involving the derivatives $f'(z_1)$, $f'(z_2)$ and the Schwarzian derivatives $S_f(z_1)$, $S_f(z_2)$ for $z_1,z_2\in U$. Both estimates hold true under some geometric restrictions on the image $f(U)$.
For $-1\leq B<A\leq 1$, let $\mathcal{S}^*(A,B)$ denote the class of Janowski starlike functions which satisfy the subordination relation $zf'(z)/f(z)\prec (1+Az)/(1+Bz)$. In the present article, we determine the sharp of pre-Schwarzian norm for the functions in the class $\mathcal{S}^*(A,B)$.
In this paper, we obtain sharp bounds for the norm of pre--Schwarzian derivatives of certain analytic functions. Initially this problem was handled by H. Rahmatan, Sh. Najafzadeh and A. Ebadian [Stud Univ Babeş--Bolyai Math {\bf61}(2): 155--162, 2016]. We pointed out that the proofs by Rahmatan et al. are incorrect and present correct proofs.
In the present paper we estimate the norm of the pre-Schwarzian derivative of bi-starlike functions of order $α$ where $α\in[0,1)$. Initially this problem was handled by Rahmatan et al. in [Bull Iran Math Soc {\bf43}: 1037-1043, 2017]. We pointed out that the proofs and bounds by Rahmatan et al. are incorrect and present correct proofs and bounds.
In this paper, we consider the class of uniformly locally univalent harmonic mappings in the unit disk and build a relationship between its pre-Schwarzian norm and uniformly hyperbolic radius. Also, we establish eight ways of characterizing uniformly locally univalent sense-preserving harmonic mappings. We also present some sharp distortions and growth estimates and investigate their connections with Hardy spaces. Finally, we study subordination principles of norm estimates.
Quantitative estimates are obtained for the (finite) valence of functions analytic in the unit disk with Schwarzian derivative that is bounded or of slow growth. A harmonic mapping is shown to be uniformly locally univalent with respect to the hyperbolic metric if and only if it has finite Schwarzian norm, thus generalizing a result of B. Schwarz for analytic functions. A numerical bound is obtained for the Schwarzian norms of univalent harmonic mappings.
In this paper, we extend Ahlfors's univalent criteria and Ahlfors's quasiconformal extension for analytic functions to harmonic mappings defined in the unit disk. Moreover, we give a general quasiconformal extension of harmonic Teichmüller mappings, whose maximal dilatation estimate is asymptotically sharp.
Let $\mathcal{A}$ denote the class of analytic functions $f$ in the unit disk $\mathbb{D}=\{z\in\mathbb{C}:|z|<1\}$ normalized by $f(0)=0$, $f'(0)=1$. In the present article, we obtain the sharp estimates of the Schwarzian norm for functions in the classes $\mathcal{G}(β)=\{f\in \mathcal{A}:{\rm Re\,}[1+zf''(z)/f'(z)]<1+β/2\}$, where $β>0$ and $\mathcal{F}(α)=\{f\in \mathcal{A}:{\rm Re\,}[1+zf''(z)/f'(z)]>α\}$, where $-1/2\le α\le 0$. We also establish two-point distortion theorem for functions in the classes $\mathcal{G}(β)$ and $\mathcal{F}(α)$.
Let $Co(α)$ denote the class of concave univalent functions in the unit disk $\ID$. Each function $f\in Co(α)$ maps the unit disk $\ID$ onto the complement of an unbounded convex set. In this paper we find the exact disk of variability for the functional $(1-|z|^2)\left ( f''(z)/f'(z)\right)$, $f\in Co(α)$. In particular, this gives sharp upper and lower estimates for the pre-Schwarzian norm of concave univalent functions. Next we obtain the set of variability of the functional $(1-|z|^2)\left(f''(z)/f'(z)\right)$, $f\in Co(α)$ whenever $f''(0)$ is fixed. We also give a characterization for co…
In this paper we study sharp estimates of pre-Schwarzian derivatives of functions belonging to the Nehari-type classes by using techniques from differential equations. In the sequel, we also see that a solution of a complex differential equation has a special form in terms of ratio of hypergeometric functions resulting to an integral representation. Finally, we attempt to study those univalent functions in the unit disk for which the image domain is an unbounded John domain.
We prove that if the Schwarzian norm of a given complex-valued locally univalent harmonic mapping $f$ in the unit disk is small enough, then $f$ is, indeed, globally univalent and can be extended to a quasiconformal mapping in the extended complex plane.
We establish a criterion for local boundedness and hence normality of a family $\F$ of analytic functions on a domain $D$ in the complex plane whose corresponding family of derivatives is locally bounded. Furthermore we investigate the relation between domains of normality of a family $\F$ of meromorphic functions and its corresponding Schwarzian derivative family. We also establish some criterion for the Schwarzian derivative family of a family $\F$ of analytic functions on a domain $D$ in the complex plane to be a normal family.
We study the order of affine and linear invariant families of planar harmonic mappings in the unit disk and determine the order of the family of mappings with bounded Schwarzian norm. The result shows that finding the order of the class $\mathcal{S}_H$ of univalent harmonic mappings can be formulated as a question about Schwarzian norm and, in particular, our result shows consistency between the conjectured order of $\mathcal{S}_H$ and the Schwarzian norm of the harmonic Koebe function.
For a normalised analytic function f defined on the open unit disk in the complex plane, we determine several sufficient conditions for starlikeness in terms of the quotients Q_{ST}:=zf'(z)/f(z), Q_{CV}:=1+zf"(z)/f'(z) and the Schwarzian derivative Q_{SD}:=z^2((f"(z)/f'(z))'-(f"(z)/f'(z))^2/2)$. These conditions were obtained by using the admissibility criteria of starlikeness in the theory of second order differential subordination.
For analytic functions in the unit disk, general bounds on the Schwarzian derivative in terms of Nehari functions are shown to imply uniform local univalence and in some cases finite and bounded valence. Similar results are obtained for the Weierstrass--Enneper lifts of planar harmonic mappings to their associated minimal surfaces. Finally certain classes of harmonic mappings are shown to have finite Schwarzian norm.
A general criterion in terms of the Schwarzian derivative is given for global univalence of the Weierstrass--Enneper lift of a planar harmonic mapping. Results on distortion and boundary regularity are also deduced. Examples are given to show that the criterion is sharp. The analysis depends on a generalized Schwarzian defined for conformal metrics and on a Schwarzian introduced by Ahlfors for curves. Convexity plays a central role.
A normalized analytic function f is shown to be univalent in the open unit disk D if its second coefficient is sufficiently small and relates to its Schwarzian derivative through a certain inequality. New criteria for analytic functions to be in certain subclasses of functions are established in terms of the Schwarzian derivatives and the second coefficients. These include obtaining a sufficient condition for functions to be strongly $α$-Bazileviĉ of order $β$.
We consider a univalent analytic function $f$ on the half-plane satisfying the condition that the supremum norm of its (pre-)Schwarzian derivative vanishes on the boundary. Under certain extra assumptions on $f$, we show that there exists a chordal Loewner chain initiated from $f$ until some finite time, and this Loewner chain defines a quasiconformal extension of $f$ over the boundary such that its complex dilatation is given explicitly in terms of the (pre-)Schwarzian derivative in some neighborhood of the boundary. This can be regarded as the half-plane version of the corresponding result d…

In this paper we give sharp norm estimates for the Bergman operator acting from weighted mixed-norm spaces to weighted Hardy spaces in the ball, endowed with natural norms.
We obtain new two-sided norm estimates for the family of Bergman-type projections arising from the standard weights $(1-|z|^2)^α$ where $α>-1$. As $α\to -1$, the lower bound is sharp in the sense that it asymptotically agrees with the norm of the Riesz projection. The upper bound is estimated in terms of the maximal Bergman projection, whose exact operator norm we calculate. The results provide evidence towards a conjecture that was posed very recently by the first author.
In this paper, we first obtain several sharp inequalities of homogeneous expansion for both the subclass of all normalized biholomorphic quasi-convex mappings of type B and order alpha and the subclass of all normalized biholomorphic almost starlike mappings of order alpha defined on the unit ball $B$ of a complex Banach space X. Then, with these sharp inequalities, we derive the sharp estimates of the third and fourth homogeneous expansions for the above mappings defined on the unit polydisk $D^n$ in C(n).
