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.
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…
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.
The primary aim of this article is to extend certain inequalities concerning the pre-Schwarzian derivatives from the case of analytic univalent functions to that of univalent harmonic mappings defined on certain domains. This is done in two different ways. One of the ways is to connect with a conjecture on the univalent harmonic mappings. Also, we improve certain known results on the majorization of the Jacobian of functions in the affine and linear invariant family of sense-preserving harmonic mappings. This is achieved as an application of a corresponding distortion theorem in terms of the h…
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.
We determine the representation theorem, distortion theorem, coefficients estimate and Bohr's radius for log-harmonic starlike mappings of order $α$, which are generalization of some earlier results. In addition, the inner mapping radius of log-harmonic mappings is also established by constructing a family of $1$-slit log-harmonic mappings. Finally, we introduce pre-Schwarzian, Schwarzian derivatives and Bloch's norm for non-vanishing log-harmonic mappings, several properties related to these are also obtained.
We review the relation between the classical formulas of the pre-Schwarzian and Schwarzian derivatives of locally univalent analytic functions and the derivatives of the generating functions of the methods due to Newton and Halley, respectively, for approximating zeros. We extend these relations to the cases when the functions considered are harmonic.
It is well-known that two locally univalent analytic functions $φ$ and $ψ$ have equal Schwarzian derivative if and only if there exists a non-constant Möbius transformation $T$ such that $φ=T\circ ψ$. In this paper, we identify completely the relationship between two locally univalent harmonic mappings with equal (harmonic) Schwarzian derivative.
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.
In this paper we introduce a definition of the pre-Schwarzian and the Schwarzian derivatives of any locally univalent harmonic mapping $f$ in the complex plane without assuming any additional condition on the (second complex) dilatation $ω_f$ of $f$. Using the new definition for the Schwarzian derivative of harmonic mappings, we prove analogous theorems to those by Chuaqui, Duren, and Osgood. Also, we obtain a Becker-type criterion for the univalence of harmonic mappings.
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 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.
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 consider the family of all meromorphic functions $f$ of the form $$ f(z)=\frac{1}{z}+b_0+b_1z+b_2z^2+\cdots $$ analytic and locally univalent in the puncture disk $\mathbb{D}_0:=\{z\in\mathbb{C}:\,0<|z|<1\}$. Our first objective in this paper is to find a sufficient condition for $f$ to be meromorphically convex of order $α$, $0\le α<1$, in terms of the fact that the absolute value of the well-known Schwarzian derivative $S_f (z)$ of $f$ is bounded above by a smallest positive root of a non-linear equation. Secondly, we consider a family of functions $g$ of the form $g(z)=z+a_2z^2+a_3z^3+\c…
The notion of Schwarzian derivative for locally univalent holomorphic functions on complex plane was generalized for conformal diffeomorphisms by Osgood and Stowe in 1992 [27]. We shall identify a tensor that may serve as an analogue of the Schwarzian of Osgood and Stowe for CR mappings, and then use the tensor to define and study the CR Möbius transformations and metrics of pseudo-hermitian manifolds. We shall establish basic properties of the CR Schwarzian and a local characterization of CR spherical manifolds in terms of fully integrability of the CR Möbius equation. In another direction, w…
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.
A pre-Schwarzian and a Schwarzian derivative for locally univalent pluriharmonic mappings in ${\mathbb C}^n$ are introduced. Basic properties such as the chain rule, multiplicative invariance and affine invariance are proved for these operators. It is shown that the pre-Schwarzian is stable only with respect to rotations of the identity. A characterization is given for the case when the pre-Schwarzian derivative is holomorphic. Furthermore, it is shown that if the Schwarzian derivative of a pluriharmonic mapping vanishes then the analytic part of this mapping is a Möbius transformation. Some o…
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…
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.
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.
For $0<λ\le 1$, let $\mathcal{U}(λ)$ be the class analytic functions $f(z)= z+\sum_{n=2}^{\infty}a_n z^n$ in the unit disk $\mathbb{D}$ satisfying $|f'(z)(z/f(z))^2-1|<λ$ and $\mathcal{U}:=\mathcal{U}(1)$. In the present article, we prove that the class $\mathcal{U}$ is contained in the closed convex hull of the class of starlike functions and using this fact, we solve some extremal problems such as integral mean problem and arc length problem for functions in $\mathcal{U}$. By means of the so-called theory of star functions, we also solve the integral mean problem for functions in $\mathcal{U…
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 $\mathcal{F}(α)$.
We discuss the problem of embedding univalent functions into Loewner chains in higher dimension. In particular, we prove that a normalized univalent map of the ball in $\C^n$ whose image is a smooth strongly pseudoconvex domain is embeddable into a normalized Loewner chain (satisfying also some extra regularity properties) if and only if the closure of the image is polynomially convex.
For a real constant $b,$ we give sharp estimates of $\log|f(z)/z|+b\arg[f(z)/z]$ for subclasses of normalized univalent functions $f$ on the unit disk.
We consider support points of the class $S^0(\mathbb{D}^n)$ of normalized univalent mappings on the polydisc $\mathbb{D}^n$ with parametric representation and we prove sharp estimates for coefficients of degree 2.
In this paper, we introduce the subclass $SHP^{-m}(α,β)$ using integral operator and give sufficient coefficient conditions for normalized harmonic univalent function in the subclass $SHP^{-m}(α,β)$.These conditions are also shown to be necessary when the coefficients are negative.
Estimates are obtained for the initial coefficients of a normalized analytic function $f$ in the unit disk $\mathbb{D}$ such that $f$ and the analytic extension of $f^{-1}$ to $\mathbb{D}$ belong to certain subclasses of univalent functions. The bounds obtained improve some existing known bounds.
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.
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.
