The error function occurs widely in multiple areas of mathematics, mathematical physics and natural sciences. There has been no work in this area for the past four decades. In this article, we estimate the coefficient bounds with q-difference operator for certain classes of the spirallike starlike and convex error function associated with convolution product using subordination as well as quasi-subordination. Though this concept is an untrodden path in the field of complex function theory, it will prove to be an encouraging future study for researchers on error function.
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 …
A normalized univalent function is uniformly convex if it maps every circular arc contained in the open unit disk with center in it into a convex curve. This article surveys recent results on the class of uniformly convex functions and on an analogous class of uniformly starlike functions.
In the present investigation the authors obtain upper bounds for the second Hankel determinant of the classes bi-starlike and bi-convex functions of order beta.
The concept of majorization is now well-known after the beautiful work of MacGregor, and then followed by Campbell in his sequel of papers. In this paper, we establish the sharp majorization results for the starlike and convex functions with respect to the conjugate points.
In this note we investigate the inclusion relationship between the class of strongly starlike functions of order alpha and type beta and the class of strongly convex functions of order alpha and type beta which are subclass of normalized analytic functions defined on the unit disk. Some applications of our main result are also presented which contains various classical results for the typical subclasses of starlike and convex functions.
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.
In the present paper, we discuss several basic properties of a class of quasiconformal close-to-convex harmonic mappings with starlike analytic part, such results as coefficient inequalities, an integral representation, a growth theorem, an area theorem, and radii of close-to-convexity of partial sums of the class, are derived.
In 1984, Clunie and Sheil-Small proved that a sense-preserving harmonic function whose analytic part is convex, is univalent and close-to-convex. In this paper, certain cases are discussed under which the conclusion of this result can be strengthened and extended to fully starlike and fully convex harmonic mappings. In addition, we investgate the properties of functions in the class $\mathcal{M}(α)$ $(|α|\leq 1)$ consisting of harmonic functions $f=h+\overline{g}$ with $g'(z)=αzh'(z)$, $\RE (1+{zh''(z)}/{h'(z)})>-{1}/{2} $ $ \mbox{for} |z|<1 $. The coefficient estimates, growth results, area t…
In this study, we deal with the sharp bounds of certain Toeplitz determinants whose entries are the logarithmic coefficients of analytic univalent functions $f$ such that the quantity $z f'(z)/f(z)$ takes values in a specific domain lying in the right half plane. The established results provide the bounds for the classes of starlike and convex functions, as well as various of their subclasses.
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 prove necessary and sufficient conditions for a sense-preserving harmonic function to be absolutely convex in the open unit disk. We also estimate the coefficient bound and obtain growth, covering and area theorems for absolutely convex harmonic mappings. A natural generalization of the classical Bernardi type operator for harmonic functions is considered and its connection between certain classes of uniformly starlike harmonic functions and uniformly convex harmonic functions is also investigated. At the end, as applications, we present a number of results connected with hyp…
A starlike function $f$ is characterized by the quantity $zf'(z)/f(z)$ lying in the right half-plane. This paper deals with sharp bounds for certain symmetric Toeplitz determinants whose entries are the coefficients of the functions $f$ for which the quantity $zf'(z)/f(z)$ takes values in certain specific subset in the right half-plane. The results obtained include several new special cases and some known results.
In this paper, two new subclasses of bi-univalent functions related to conic domains are defined by making use of symmetric $q$-differential operator. The initial bounds for Fekete-Szegö inequality for the functions $f$ in these classes are estimated.
In the present paper, we study a new subclass $\mathcal{M}_p(α,β)$ of $p$--valent functions and obtain some inequalities concerning the coefficients for the desired class. Also, by use of the Hadamard product, we define a general operator and find a condition such that it belongs to the class $\mathcal{M}_p(α,β)$.
Estimates on the initial coefficients are obtained for normalized analytic functions $f$ in the open unit disk with $f$ and its inverse $g=f^{-1}$ satisfying the conditions that $zf'(z)/f(z)$ and $zg'(z)/g(z)$ are both subordinate to a starlike univalent function whose range is symmetric with respect to the real axis. Several related classes of functions are also considered, and connections to earlier known results are made.
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).
We say that a class $\mathcal{F}$ consisting of analytic functions $f(z)=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} a_{n}z^{n}$ in the unit disk $\mathbb{D}:=\{z\in \mathbb{C}: |z|<1\}$ satisfies a Bohr phenomenon if there exists $r_{f} \in (0,1)$ such that $$ \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} |a_{n}z^{n}|\leq d(f(0),\partial f(\mathbb{D})) $$ for every function $f \in \mathcal{F}$ and $|z|=r\leq r_{f}$, where $d$ is the Euclidean distance. The largest radius $r_{f}$ is the Bohr radius for the class $\mathcal{F}$. In this paper, we establish the Bohr phenomenon for the classes consisting of Ma-Minda type starlike functions and Ma…
We investigate harmonic mappings $f=h+\bar{g}$ defined in the unit disk, where $g$ and $h$ satisfy certain prescribed conditions and the analytic part $h$ belongs to the Ma and Minda class of starlike functions. Certain sharp radius results for univalency, close-to-convexity, fully starlikeness, fully convexity, and radius of strongly starlikeness are established. We also calculate the radius of uniformly starlikeness and convexity for these functions. Several results enhance the well-known radius results.
In the present paper two certain subclasses of the starlike functions associated with the vertical strip are considered. The main aim of this paper is to investigate some basic properties of these classes such as, subordination relations, sharp inequalities for sums involving logarithmic coefficients and estimate of logarithmic coefficients.
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.
This paper makes a modest contribution to the family of starlike univalent mappings in the open unit disk, by the introduction of some new subclasses of them via certain convolution operators. A new univalence condition is given with examples. Some basic characterizations of functions of the new subclasses are also mentioned.
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.
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…
We consider the class $\mathcal{S}^*(q_c)$ of normalized starlike functions $f$ analytic in the open unit disk $|z|<1$ that satisfying the inequality \begin{equation*} \left|\left(\frac{zf'(z)}{f(z)}\right)^2-1\right|<c \quad (0<c\leq1). \end{equation*} In this article, we present some subordination relations and these relations are then used to obtain some corollaries for some subclass of analytic functions.
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 $k(z)=z/(1-z)^2$.
In 2011, Sokół (Comput. Math. Appl. 62, 611--619) introduced and studied the class $\mathcal{SK}(α)$ as a certain subclass of starlike functions, consists of all functions $f$ ($f(0)=0=f'(0)-1$) which satisfy in the following subordination relation: \begin{equation*} \frac{zf'(z)}{f(z)}\prec \frac{3}{3+(α-3)z-αz^2} \qquad |z|<1, \end{equation*} where $-3<α\leq1$. Also, he obtained some interesting results for the class $\mathcal{SK}(α)$. In this paper, some another properties of this class, including infimum of $\mathfrak{Re}\frac{f(z)}{z}$, order of strongly starlikeness, the sharp logarithmi…
We prove a conjecture concerning the third Hankel determinant, proposed in ``Anal. Math. Phys., https://doi.org/10.1007/s13324-021-00483-7", which states that $|H_3(1)|\leq 1/9$ is sharp for the class $\mathcal{S}_{\wp}^{*}=\{zf'(z)/f(z) \prec φ(z):=1+ze^z\}$. In addition, we also establish bounds for sixth and seventh coefficient, and $|H_4(1)|$ for functions in $\mathcal{S}_{\wp}^{*}$. The general bounds for two and three-fold symmetric functions related to the Ma-Minda classes $\mathcal{S}^*(φ)$ of starlike functions are also obtained.
Let A_n be the class of functions f(z) which are analytic in the open unit disk U} with f(0)=0, f'(0)=1, f"(0)=f"'(0)=...=f^{(n)}=0 and f^{(n+1)}\neq0. Applying the results due to S. S. Miller (J. Math. Anal. Appl. 65(1978), 289-305), some interesting starlikeness problems concerned with subordinations are discussed. The results in the paper are extensions of results by M. Obradović (Hokkaido Math. J. 27(1998), 329-335).
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…
Ma-Minda class (of starlike functions) consists of all normalized analytic functions $f$ on the unit disk for which the image of $zf'(z)/f(z)$ is contained in the some starlike region in the right-half plane. We obtain the best possible bounds on the second and third coefficient for the inverse functions of functions in the Ma-Minda class. The bounds on the Fekete-Szegö functional and the second Hankel determinant of the inverse functions of the functions belonging to the Ma-Minda class are also determined. Further, the bounds on the first five coefficients of the inverse functions are investi…
This paper aims to pursue some classes of normalized analytic functions $f$ with fixed second coefficient defined on open unit disk, such that ${(1+z)^2f(z)}/{z}$ and ${(1+z)f(z)}/{z}$ are functions having positive real part. The radius of strongly starlikeness, the radius of lemniscate starlikeness, the radius of parabolic starlikeness and other starlikeness estimates are calculated for such functions. As well relevant connections of computed radii estimates with the existing one are also shown.
In this paper, we obtain coefficient criteria for a normalized harmonic function defined in the unit disk to be close-to-convex and fully starlike, respectively. Using these coefficient conditions, we present different classes of harmonic close-to-convex (resp. fully starlike) functions involving Gaussian hypergeometric functions. In addition, we present a convolution characterization for a class of univalent harmonic functions discussed recently by Mocanu, and later by Bshouty and Lyzzaik in 2010. Our approach provide examples of harmonic polynomials that are close-to-convex and starlike, res…
By a completion of a lemma of Babalola and Opoola \cite{KT}, we prove that certain generalized integral operators preserve $n$-starlikeness in the open unit disk $E=\{z\in \mathbb{C}: |z|<1\}$. Our results generalize, extend and improve many known ones.
We introduce and study a class of starlike functions defined by \begin{equation*} \mathscr{S}^*_\wp:=\left\{f\in\mathcal{A}: \frac{zf'(z)}{f(z)}\prec 1+ze^z=:\wp(z)\right\}, \end{equation*} where $\wp$ maps the unit disk onto a cardioid domain. We find the radius of convexity of $\wp(z)$ and establish the inclusion relations between the class $ \mathscr{S}^*_\wp$ and some well-known classes. Further we derive sharp radius constants and coefficient related results for the class $ \mathscr{S}^*_\wp$.
We introduce and study a new Ma-Minda subclass of starlike functions $\mathcal{S}^*_{\varrho},$ defined as $$\mathcal{S}^{*}_{\varrho}:=\left\{f\in\mathcal{A}:\frac{zf'(z)}{f(z)} \prec \cosh \sqrt{z}=:\varrho(z), z\in\mathbb{D} \right\},$$ associated with an analytic univalent function $\cosh \sqrt{z},$ where we choose the branch of the square root function so that $\cosh\sqrt{z}=1+z/2!+z^{2}/{4!}+\cdots.$ We establish certain inclusion relations for $\mathcal{S}^{*}_{\varrho}$ and deduce sharp $\mathcal{S}^{*}_{\varrho}-$radii for certain subclasses of analytic functions.
In this paper, we show that the Carathéodory function $φ_{\scriptscriptstyle {Ne}}(z)=1+z-z^3/3$ maps the open unit disk $\mathbb{D}$ onto the interior of the nephroid, a $2$-cusped kidney-shaped curve, \begin{align*} \left((u-1)^2+v^2-\frac{4}{9}\right)^3-\frac{4 v^2}{3}=0, \end{align*} and introduce new Ma-Minda type function classes $\mathcal{S}^*_{Ne}$ and $\mathcal{C}_{Ne}$ associated with it. Apart from studying the characteristic properties of the region bounded by this nephroid, the structural formulas, extremal functions, growth and distortion results, inclusion results, coefficient b…
The estimates for the second Hankel determinant a_2a_4-a_3^2 of analytic function f(z)=z+a_2 z^2+a_3 z^3+...b for which either zf'(z)/f(z) or 1+zf"(z)/f'(z) is subordinate to certain analytic function are investigated. The estimates for the Hankel determinant for two other classes are also obtained. In particular, the estimates for the Hankel determinant of strongly starlike, parabolic starlike, lemniscate starlike functions are obtained.
In this paper, we considered a generalized class of starlike functions defined by Kanas and Răducanu\cite{10} to obtain integral means inequalities and subordination results. Further, we obtain the for various subclasses of starlike functions.
In this paper, we consider a subclass of starlike functions associated with a vertical strip domain. Several results concerned with integral representations, convolutions, and coefficient inequalities for functions belonging to this class are obtained. Furthermore, we consider radius problems and inclusion relations involving certain classes of strongly starlike functions, parabolic starlike functions and other types of starlike functions. The results are essential improvements of the corresponding results obtained by Kargar et al., and the derivations are similar to those used earlier by Sun …
In this paper, we generalize the Bohr-Rogosinski sum for the Ma-Minda classes of starlike and convex functions. Also the phenomenon is studied for the classes of starlike functions with respect to symmetric points and conjugate points along with their convex cases. Further, the connection between the derived results and the known ones are established with the suitable examples.
In this paper we obtain sharp coefficient bounds for certain $p$-valent starlike functions of order $β$, $0\le β<1$. Initially this problem was handled by Aouf in "M. K. Aouf, On a class of $p$-valent starlike functions of order $α$, Internat. J. Math. $\&$ Math. Sci. 1987;10:733--744". We pointed out that the proof given by Aouf was incorrect and a correct proof is presented in this paper.
For $-1\le B<A\le 1$, let $\mathcal{S}^*(A,B)$ denote the class of normalized analytic functions $f(z)= z+\sum_{n=2}^{\infty}a_n z^n$ in $|z|<1$ which satisfy the subordination relation $zf'(z)/f(z)\prec (1+Az)/(1+Bz)$ and $Σ^*(A,B)$ be the corresponding class of meromorphic functions in $|z|>1$. For $f\in\mathcal{S}^*(A,B)$ and $λ>0$, we shall estimate the absolute value of the Taylor coefficients $a_n(-λ,f)$ of the analytic function $(f(z)/z)^{-λ}$. Using this we shall determine the coefficient estimate for inverses of functions in the classes $\mathcal{S}^*(A,B)$ and $Σ^*(A,B)$.
Let $\ID$ denote the open unit disk and $f:\,\ID\TO\BAR\IC$ be meromorphic and univalent in $\ID$ with the simple pole at $p\in (0,1)$ and satisfying the standard normalization $f(0)=f'(0)-1=0$. Also, let $f$ have the expansion $$f(z)=\sum_{n=-1}^{\infty}a_n(z-p)^n,\quad |z-p|<1-p, $$ such that $f$ maps $\ID$ onto a domain whose complement with respect to $\BAR{\IC}$ is a convex set (starlike set with respect to a point $w_0\in \IC, w_0\neq 0$ resp.). We call these functions as concave (meromorphically starlike resp.) univalent functions and denote this class by $Co(p)$ $(Σ^s(p, w_0)$ resp.). …
