For analytic functions f(z) in the open unit disk U with f(0)=f'(0)-1=0, P. T. Mocanu (Mathematica (Cluj), 11(34) (1969)) have considered Mocanu functions. The object of the present paper is to discuss some sufficient problems for f(z) to be starlike of order α.
In this study, a normalized form of regular Coulomb wave function is considered. By using differential subordination method due to Miller and Mocanu, we determine some conditions on the parameters such that the normalized regular Coulomb wave function is lemniscate starlike and exponenetial starlike in the open unit disk, respectively.
Given a domain $Ω$ in the complex plane $\mathbb{C}$ and a univalent function $q$ defined in an open unit disk $\mathbb{D}$ with nice boundary behaviour, Miller and Mocanu studied the class of admissible functions $Ψ(Ω,q)$ so that the differential subordination $ψ(p(z),zp(z),z^2p''(z);z)\prec h(z)$ implies $p(z)\prec q(z)$ where $p$ is an analytic function in $\mathbb{D}$ with $p(0)=1$, $ψ:\mathbb{C}^3\times \mathbb{D}\to\mathbb{C}$ and $Ω=h(\mathbb{D})$. This paper investigates the properties of this class for $q(z)=e^z$. As application, several sufficient conditions for normalized analytic f…
For analytic functions f(z) in the open unit disk U with f(0)=f'(0)-1=0, S. S. Miller and P. T. Mocanu (Integral Transform. Spec. Funct. 19(2008)) have considered some sufficient problems for starlikeness. The object of the present paper is to discuss some sufficient problems for f(z) to be in some classes of order α.
The theory of first-order differential subordination developed by Miller and Mocanu was recently extended to functions with fixed initial coefficient by R. M. Ali, S. Nagpal and V. Ravichandran [Second-order differential subordination for analytic functions with fixed initial coefficient, Bull. Malays. Math. Sci. Soc. (2) 34 (2011), 611--629] and applied to obtain several generalization of classical results in geometric function theory. In this paper, further applications of this subordination theory is given. In particular, several sufficient conditions related to starlikeness, convexity, clo…
We find the radius of starlikeness of order $α$, $0\leq α<1$, of normalized analytic functions $f$ on the unit disk satisfying either $\operatorname{Re}(f(z)/g(z))>0$ or $\left| (f(z)/g(z))-1\right|<1$ for some close-to-star function $g$ with $\operatorname{Re}(g(z)/(z+z^2/2))>0$ as well as of the class of close-to-star functions $f$ satisfying $\operatorname{Re}(f(z)/(z+z^2/2))>0$. Several other radii such as radius of univalence and parabolic starlikeness are shown to be the same as the radius of starlikeness of appropriate order.
In this paper, we first find an estimate for the range of polyharmonic mappings in the class $HC_{p}^{0}$. Then, we obtain two characterizations in terms of the convolution for polyharmonic mappings to be starlike of order $α$, and convex of order $β$, respectively. Finally, we study the radii of starlikeness and convexity for polyharmonic mappings, under certain coefficient conditions.
The radii of starlikeness and convexity associated with lemniscate of Bernoulli and the Janowski function, $(1+Az)/(1+Bz)$ for $-1\leq B<A\leq 1$, have been determined for normalizations of $q$-Bessel function, Bessel function of first kind of order $ν$, Lommel function of first kind and Legendre polynomial of odd degree.
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 an analytic function $f$ on the unit disk $\mathbb{D}=\{z:|z|<1\}$ satisfying $f(0)=0=f'(0)-1,$ we obtain sufficient conditions so that $f$ satisfies $|(zf'(z)/f(z))^2-1|<1.$ The technique of differential subordination of first or second order is used. The admissibility conditions for lemniscate of Bernoulli are derived and employed in order to prove the main results.
For $0\leq α<1$, the sharp radii of starlikeness and convexity of order $α$ for functions of the form $f(z)=z+a_2z^2+a_3z^3+...$ whose Taylor coefficients $a_n$ satisfy the conditions $|a_2|=2b$, $0\leq b\leq 1$, and $|a_n|\leq n $, $M$ or $M/n$ ($M>0$) for $n\geq 3$ are obtained. Also a class of functions related to Carathéodory functions is considered.
In this paper, we shall find the order of starlikeness and convexity for integral operators \begin{equation*} \mathbb{F}_{α_{j},β_{j},λ_{j},ζ}(z)=\left\{ ζ\int\limits_{0}^{z}t^{ζ-1}\prod_{j=1}^{n}\left( \frac{\mathbb{E} _{α_{j},β_{j}}(t)}{t}\right) ^{1/λ_{j}}dt\right\} ^{1/ζ}, \end{equation*} where the functions $\mathbb{E}_{α_{j},β_{j}}$ are the normalized Mittag-Leffler functions.
For an analytic function f(z)=z+\sum_{n=2}^\infty a_n z^n satisfying the inequality \sum_{n=2}^\infty n(n-1)|a_n|\leq β, sharp bound on $β$ is determined so that $f$ is either starlike or convex of order $α$. Several other coefficient inequalities related to certain subclasses are also investigated.
The asymptotic behaviour, with respect to the large order, of the radii of starlikeness of two types of normalised Bessel functions is considered. We derive complete asymptotic expansions for the radii of starlikeness and provide recurrence relations for the coefficients of these expansions. The proofs rely on the notion of Rayleigh sums and asymptotic inversion. The techniques employed in the paper could be useful to treat similar problems where inversion of asymptotic expansions is involved.
There are many results for sufficient conditions of functions f(z) which are analytic in the open unit disc U to be starlike and convex in U. The object of the present paper is to derive some interesting sufficient conditions for f(z) to be starlike of order α and convex of order α in U concerned with Jack's lemma. Some examples for our results are also considered with the help of Mathematica 5.2.
The main purpose of this paper is to determine the radii of starlikeness and convexity of the generalized $\emph{k}-$Bessel functions for three different kinds of normalization by using their Hadamard factorization in such a way that the resulting functions are analytic in the unit disk of the complex plane. The characterization of entire functions from Laguerre-Pólya class plays an crucial role in this paper. Moreover, the interlacing properties of the zeros of $\emph{k}-$Bessel function and its derivative is also useful in the proof of the main results. By making use of the Euler-Rayleigh in…
In this paper our aim is to determine the radii of univalence, starlikeness and convexity of the normalized regular Coulomb wave functions for two different kinds of normalization. The key tools in the proof of our main results are the Mittag-Leffler expansion for regular Coulomb wave functions, and properties of zeros of the regular Coulomb wave functions and their derivatives. Moreover, by using the technique of differential subordinations we present some conditions on the parameters of the regular Coulomb wave function in order to have a starlike normalized form. In addition, by using the E…
We consider normalized analytic function $f$ on the open unit disk for which either $\operatorname{Re} f(z)/g(z)>0$, $|f(z) /g(z) - 1|<1$ or $\operatorname{Re} (1-z^2) f(z) /z>0$ for some analytic function $g$ with $\operatorname{Re} (1-z^2) g(z) /z>0$. We have obtained the radii for these functions to belong to various subclasses of starlike functions. The subclasses considered include the classes of starlike functions of order $α$, lemniscate starlike functions and parabolic starlike functions.
This paper studies analytic functions $f$ defined on the open unit disk of the complex plane for which $f/g$ and $(1+z)g/z$ are both functions with positive real part for some analytic function $g$. We determine radius constants of these functions to belong to classes of strong starlike functions, starlike functions of order $α$, parabolic starlike functions, as well as to the classes of starlike functions associated with lemniscate of Bernoulli, cardioid, lune, reverse lemniscate, sine function, exponential function and a particular rational function. The results obtained are sharp.
For a function $f$ starlike of order $α$, $0\leqslant α<1$, a non-constant polynomial $Q$ of degree $n$ which is non-vanishing in the unit disc $\mathbb{D}$ and $β>0$, we consider the function $F:\mathbb{D}\to\mathbb{C}$ defined by $F(z)=f(z) (Q(z))^{β/n}$ and find the largest value of $r\in (0,1]$ such that $r^{-1} F(rz)$ lies in various known subclasses of starlike functions such as the class of starlike functions of order $λ$, the classes of starlike functions associated with the exponential function, cardioid, a rational function, nephroid domain and modified sigmoid function. Our radii re…
Let $f$ and $g$ be analytic functions on the open unit disk of the complex plane with $f/g$ belonging to the class $\mathcal{P} $ of functions with positive real part consisting of functions $p$ with $p(0)=1$ and $\operatorname{Re} p(z)>0$ or to its subclass consisting of functions $p$ with $|p(z)-1|<1$. We obtain the sharp radius constants for the function $f$ to be starlike of order $α$, parabolic starlike, etc. when $g/k\in\mathcal{P}$ where $k$ denotes the Koebe function defined by $k(z)=z/(1-z)^2$.
Radius constants for several classes of analytic functions on the unit disk are obtained. These include the radius of starlikeness of a positive order, radius of parabolic starlikeness, radius of Bernoulli lemniscate starlikeness, and radius of uniform convexity. In the main, the radius constants obtained are sharp. Conjectures on the non-sharp constants are given.
For $α\geq 0$, $β<1$ and $γ\geq 0$, the class $\mathcal{W}_β(α,γ)$ satisfies the condition \begin{align*} {\rm Re\,} \left( e^{iϕ}\left((1-α+2γ)f/z+(α-2γ)f'+ γzf''-β\right)\frac{}{}\right)>0, \quad ϕ\in {\mathbb{R}},{\,}z\in {\mathbb{D}}; \end{align*} is taken into consideration. The Pascu class of $ξ$-convex functions of order $σ$ $(M(σ,{\,}ξ))$, having analytic characterization \begin{align*} {\rm Re\,}\frac{ξz(zf'(z))'+(1-ξ)zf'(z)}{ξzf'(z)+(1-ξ)f(z)}>σ,\quad 0\leq σ< 1,\quad z\in {\mathbb{D}}, \end{align*} unifies starlike and convex functions class of order $σ$.The admissible and sufficien…
In this paper our aim is to find the radii of starlikeness and convexity of the generalized Mittag-Leffler function for three different kinds of normalization by using their Hadamard factorization in such a way that the resulting functions are analytic in the unit disk of the complex plane. The characterization of entire functions from Laguerre-Pólya class and a result of H. Kumar and M.A. Pathan on the reality of the zeros of generalized Mittag-Leffler functions, which origins goes back to Dzhrbashyan, Ostrovskiĭ and Peresyolkova, play important roles in this paper. Moreover, the interlacing …
We will provide sufficient conditions for the shifted hypergeometric function $z_2F_1(a,b;c;z)$ to be a member of a specific subclass of starlike functions in terms of the complex parameters $a,b$ and $c.$ For example, we study starlikeness of order $α,$ $λ$-spirallikeness of order $α$ and strong starlikeness of order $α.$ In particular, those properties lead to univalence of the shifted hypergeometric functions on the unit disk.
For a fixed $a \in \{1, 2, 3, \ldots\},$ the radius of starlikeness of positive order is obtained for each of the normalized analytic functions \begin{align*} \mathtt{f}_{a, ν}(z)&:= \bigg(2^{a ν-a+1} a^{-\frac{a(aν-a+1)}{2}} Γ(a ν+1) {}_a\mathtt{B}_{2a-1, a ν-a+1, 1}(a^{a/2} z)\bigg)^{\tfrac{1}{a ν-a+1}},\\ \mathtt{g}_{a, ν}(z)&:= 2^{a ν-a+1} a^{-\frac{a}{2}(aν-a+1)} Γ(a ν+1) z^{a-aν} {}_a\mathtt{B}_{2a-1, a ν-a+1, 1}(a^{a/2} z),\\ \mathtt{h}_{a, ν}(z)&:= 2^{a ν-a+1} a^{-\frac{a}{2}(aν-a+1)} Γ(a ν+1) z^{\frac{1}{2}(1+a-aν)} {}_a\mathtt{B}_{2a-1, a ν-a+1, 1}(a^{a/2} \sqrt{z}) \end{align*} in t…
The function $G_α(z)=1+ z/(1-αz^2)$, \, $0\leq α<1$, maps the open unit disc $\mathbb{D}$ onto the interior of a domain known as the Booth lemniscate. Associated with this function $G_α$ is the recently introduced class $\mathcal{BS}(α)$ consisting of normalized analytic functions $f$ on $\mathbb{D}$ satisfying the subordination $zf'(z)/f(z) \prec G_α(z)$. Of interest is its connection with known classes $\mathcal{M}$ of functions in the sense $g(z)=(1/r)f(rz)$ belongs to $\mathcal{BS}(α)$ for some $r$ in $(0,1)$ and all $f \in \mathcal{M}$. We find the largest radius $r$ for different classes…
We consider three classes of functions defined using the class $\mathcal{P}$ of all analytic functions $p(z)=1+cz+\dotsb$ on the open unit disk having positive real part and study several radius problems for these classes. The first class consists of all normalized analytic functions $f$ with $f/g\in\mathcal{P}$ and $g/(zp)\in\mathcal{P}$ for some normalized analytic function $g$ and $p\in \mathcal{P}$. The second class is defined by replacing the condition $f/g\in\mathcal{P}$ by $|(f/g)-1|<1$ while the other class consists of normalized analytic functions $f$ with $f/(zp)\in\mathcal{P}$ for s…
The hereditary property of convexity and starlikeness for conformal mappings does not generalize to univalent harmonic mappings. This failure leads us to the notion of fully starlike and convex mappings of order α, (0\leq α<1). A bound for the radius of fully starlikeness and fully convexity of order αis determined for certain families of univalent harmonic mappings. Convexity is not preserved under the convolution of univalent harmonic convex mappings, unlike in the analytic case. Given two univalent harmonic convex mappings f and g, the problem of finding the radius r_{0} such that f*g is a …
Let $p$ be an analytic function defined on the open unit disc $\mathbb{D}$ with $p(0)=1$ and $0< α\leq 1$. The conditions on complex valued functions $C$, $D$ and $E$ are obtained for $p$ to be subordinate to $((1+z)/(1-z))^α$ when $C(z) z^{2}p''(z)+D(z)zp'(z) + E(z)p(z)=0$. Sufficient conditions for confluent (Kummer) hypergeometric function and generalized and normalized Bessel function of the first kind of complex order to be subordinate to $((1+z)/(1-z))^α$ are obtained as applications. The conditions on $α$ and $β$ are derived for $p$ to be subordinate to $((1+z)/(1-z))^α$ when $1+βzp'(z)…
We study nonlinear resolvents of holomorphic generators of one-parameter semigroups acting in the open unit disk. The class of nonlinear resolvents can be studied in the framework of geometric function theory because it consists of univalent functions. In this paper we establish distortion and covering results, find order of starlikeness and of strong starlikeness of resolvents. This provides that any resolvent admits quasiconformal extension to the complex plane $\C$. In addition, we obtain some characteristics of semigroups generated by these resolvents.
In this paper our aim is to investigate the radii of $η-$uniformly convexity, $α-$convexity, $η-$parabolic starlikeness and strong starlikeness of order $ρ$ of the generalized Mittag-Leffler function for three different kinds of normalization by using their Hadamard factorization in such a way that the resulting functions are analytic. The basic tool of this study is the Mittag-Leffler function in series. Also we have shown that the obtained radii are the smallest positive roots of some functional equations.
In this paper our aim is to find the radii of starlikeness and convexity of Bessel function derivatives for three different kind of normalization. The key tools in the proof of our main results are the Mittag-Leffler expansion for nth derivative of Bessel function and properties of real zeros of it. In addition, by using the Euler-Rayleigh inequalities we obtain some tight lower and upper bounds for the radii of starlikeness and convexity of order zero for the normalized nth derivative of Bessel function. The main results of the paper are natural extensions of some known results on classical B…
The purpose of this paper is to give exact value of the radius of starlikeness and distortion theorem, Koebe domain for the class of Janowski's starlike functions of complex order. We note that the class of Janowski's starlike functions of complex order contain many interesting subclasses of univalent functions.
In this paper our aim is to find the radii of starlikeness and convexity for three different kind of normalization of the $N_ν(z)=az^{2}J_{ν}^{\prime \prime }(z)+bzJ_{ν}^{\prime}(z)+cJ_{ν}(z)$ function, where $J_ν(z)$ is called the Bessel function of the first kind of order $ν.$ The key tools in the proof of our main results are the Mittag-Leffler expansion for $N_ν(z)$ function and properties of real zeros of it. In addition, by using the Euler-Rayleigh inequalities we obtain some tight lower and upper bounds for the radii of starlikeness and convexity of order zero for the normalized $N_ν(z)…
In this paper, we mainly study the order of $q$-starlikeness of the well-known basic hypergeometric function. In addition, we obtain the Bieberbach-type problem for a generalized class of starlike functions. We also discuss the Fekete-szegö and the Hankel determinant problems for the same class of functions.
For every $q\in(0,1)$ and $0\le α<1$ we define a class of analytic functions, the so-called $q$-starlike functions of order $α$, on the open unit disk. We study this class of functions and explore some inclusion properties with the well-known class of starlike functions of order $α$. The paper is also devoted to the discussion on the Herglotz representation formula for analytic functions $zf'(z)/f(z)$ when $f(z)$ is $q$-starlike of order $α$. As an application we also discuss the Bieberbach conjecture problem for the $q$-starlike functions of order $α$. Further application includes the study o…
In this paper, we find the radius of the disk $Ω_{r}$ such that every starlike logharmonic mapping $f(z)$ of order $α,$ is starlike in $% |z|\leq r$ with respect to any point of $Ω_{r}.$ We also establish a relation between the set of starlike logharmonic mappings \ and the set of starlike logharmonic mappings of order alpha. Moreover, the radius of starlikeness and univalence for the set of close to starlike logharmonic mappings of order $α$ is determined.
In this paper, we first introduce the concept of biholomorphic convex mapping of order alpha on the unit ball B in a complex Hilbert space X. Next we provide some sufficient conditions that a locally biholomorphic mapping f is a biholomorphic convex mapping of order alpha and give an Alexander's theorem between the subclass of convex mappings and the subclass of starlike mappings on B in Hilbert space. We also obtain the order of starlikeness of biholomorphic convex mappings of order alpha on B in Hilbert spaces. Finally, we construct some concrete examples of biholomorphic convex mappings of …
In this paper, we introduce a family of analytic functions given by $$ψ_{A,B}(z):= \dfrac{1}{A-B}\log{\dfrac{1+Az}{1+Bz}},$$ which maps univalently the unit disk onto either elliptical or strip domains, where either $A=-B=α$ or $A=αe^{iγ}$ and $B=αe^{-iγ}$ ($α\in(0,1]$ and $γ\in(0,π/2]$). We study a class of non-univalent analytic functions defined by \begin{equation*} \mathcal{F}[A,B]:=\left\{f\in\mathcal{A}:\left( \dfrac{zf'(z)}{f(z)}-1\right)\precψ_{A,B}(z)\right \}. \end{equation*} Further, we investigate various characteristic properties of $ψ_{A,B}(z)$ as well as functions in the class $…
