For normalised analytic functions $f$ defined on the open unit disc $\mathbb{D}$ satisfying the condition $\sup_{z\in \mathbb{D}}(1-|z^2|) |f'(z)|\leq 1$, known as Bloch functions, we determine various starlikeness radii.
In this manuscript, we deal with three classes of quotient functions having fixed second coefficient described on open unit disk. The radius of strongly starlikeness, lemniscate starlikeness, lune starlikeness, parabolic starlikeness, sine starlikeness, exponential starlikeness and several other radius estimates for such classes are examined. Relevant relations of obtained radius estimates with the existing estimates are also discussed.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
Let $f=h+\overline{g}$ be a normalized harmonic mapping in the unit disk $\ID$. In this paper, we obtain the sharp radius of univalence, fully starlikeness and fully convexity of the harmonic linear differential operators $D_f^ε=zf_{z}-ε\overline{z}f_{\overline{z}}~(|ε|=1)$ and $F_λ(z)=(1-λ)f+λD_f^ε~(0\leqλ\leq 1)$ when the coefficients of $h$ and $g$ satisfy harmonic Bieberbach coefficients conjecture conditions. Similar problems are also solved when the coefficients of $h$ and $g$ satisfy the corresponding necessary conditions of the harmonic convex function $f=h+\overline{g}$. All results a…
In this paper, it is aimed to determine the radii of starlikeness and convexity of the normalized generalized Struve functions for three different kinds of normalization and to find tight lower and upper bounds for the radius of starlikeness and convexity of these normalized Struve functions by making use of Euler-Rayleigh inequalities. The Laguerre-Pólya class of entire functions has a crucial role in constructing our main results.
Let $h$ be a non-vanishing analytic function in the open unit disc with $h(0)=1$. Consider the class consisting of normalized analytic functions $f$ whose ratios $f(z)/g(z)$, $g(z)/z p(z)$, and $p(z)$ are each subordinate to $h$ for some analytic functions $g$ and $p$. The radius of starlikeness is obtained for this class when $h$ is chosen to be either $h(z)=\sqrt{1+z}$ or $h(z)=e^z$. Further $\mathcal{G}$-radius is also obtained for each of these two classes when $\mathcal{G}$ is a particular widely studied subclass of starlike functions. These include $\mathcal{G}$ consisting of the Janowsk…
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…
In this note our aim is to determine the radius of starlikeness of the normalized Bessel functions of the first kind for three different kinds of normalization. The key tool in the proof of our main result is the Mittag-Leffler expansion for Bessel functions of the first kind and the fact that, according to Ismail and Muldoon [IM2], the smallest positive zeros of some Dini functions are less than the first positive zero of the Bessel function of the first kind.
A starlike univalent function $f$ is characterized by the function $zf'(z)/f(z)$; several subclasses of these functions were studied in the past by restricting the function $zf'(z)/f(z)$ to take values in a region $Ω$ on the right-half plane, or, equivalently, by requiring the function $zf'(z)/f(z)$ to be subordinate to the corresponding mapping of the unit disk $\mathbb{D}$ to the region $Ω$. The mappings $w_1(z):=z+\sqrt{1+z^2}, w_2(z):=\sqrt{1+z}$ and $w_3(z):=e^z$ maps the unit disk $\mathbb{D}$ to various regions in the right half plane. For normalized analytic functions $f$ satisfying th…
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…
A normalized analytic function f defined on the open unit disk in the complex plane is in the class SL if zf'(z)/f(z) lies in the region bounded by the right-half of the lemniscate of Bernoulli given by |w^2 - 1| < 1. In the present investigation, the SL-radii for certain well-known classes of functions are obtained. Radius problems associated with the left-half plane are also investigated for these classes
For the standard Ma-Minda class $\mathcal{S}^{*}(ψ)$ of univalent starlike functions, we derive $\mathcal{S}^{*}(ψ)$-radii for some well-known special functions. In addition, we obtain the set of extremal functions for the classical problem $$\max_{f\in \mathcal{S}^{*}(ψ)}^{}\left|Φ\left(\log{(f(z)/z)}\right)\right| \quad \text{or} \quad \max_{f\in \mathcal{S}^{*}(ψ)}^{}\ReΦ\left(\log{(f(z)/z)}\right),$$ where $Φ$ is a non-constant entire function. Moreover, we prove certain results on convolution and radius estimates for the case when $ψ(\mathbb{D})$ is starlike.
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 $k(z)=z/(1-z)^2$.
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…
Let $f(z)=z+\sum_{n=2}^{\infty}a_nz^n$ be analytic in the unit disk with second coefficient $a_2$ satisfying $|a_2|=2b$, $0\leq b\leq1$. Sharp radius of Janowski starlikeness and other radius constants are obtained when $|a_n|\leq cn+d$ ($c,d\geq0$) or $|a_n|\leq c/n$ ($c>0$) for $n\geq3$.
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…
Let ${\mathcal H}$ denote the class of all normalized complex-valued harmonic functions $f=h+\bar{g}$ in the unit disk ${\mathbb D}$, and let $K=H+\bar{G}$ denote the harmonic Koebe function. Let $a_n,b_n, A_n, B_n$ denote the Maclaurin coefficients of $h,g,H,G$, and $${\mathcal F}=\{f=h+\bar{g}\in {\mathcal H}:\,|a_n|\leq A_n and |b_n|\leq B_n for n\geq 1}. $$ We show that the radius of univalence of the family ${\mathcal F}$ is $0.112903...$. We also show that this number is also the radius of the starlikeness of ${\mathcal F}$. Analogous results are proved for a subclass of the class of har…
In this article, we introduce the class $\mathcal{B}^{*}_{\mathcal{H},Ω}(α)$ of harmonic $α$-Bloch-type mappings on $Ω$ as a generalization of the class $\mathcal{B}_{\mathcal{H},Ω}(α)$ of harmonic $α$-Bloch mappings on $Ω$, where $Ω$ is arbitrary proper simply connected domain in the complex plane. We study several interesting properties of the classes $\mathcal{B}_{\mathcal{H},Ω}(α)$ and $\mathcal{B}^{*}_{\mathcal{H},Ω}(α)$ on arbitrary proper simply connected domain $Ω$ and on the shifted disk $Ω_γ$ containing $\mathbb{D}$, where $$ Ω_γ:=\bigg\{z\in\mathbb{C} : \bigg|z+\fracγ{1-γ}\bigg|<\fr…
We prove that, for any finite Blaschke product $w=B(z)$ in the unit disk, the corresponding Riemann surface over the $w$--plane contains a one-sheeted disk of the radius $0.5$. Moreover, it contains a unit one-sheeted disk with a radial slit. We apply this result to obtain a universal sharp lower estimate of the Bloch seminorm for finite Blaschke products.
The classical theorem of Bloch (1924) asserts that if $f$ is a holomorphic function on a region that contains the closed unit disk $|z|\leq 1$ such that $f(0) = 0$ and $|f'(0)| = 1$, then the image domain contains discs of radius $3/2-\sqrt{2} > 1/12$. The optimal value is known as Bloch's constant and 1/12 is not the best possible. In this paper we give a direct generalization of Bloch's theorem to the three-dimensional Euclidean space in the framework of quaternion analysis. We compute explicitly a lower bound for the Bloch constant.
We consider the class of all sense-preserving harmonic mappings $f= h+\overline{g}$ of the unit disk $\ID$, where $h$ and $g$ are analytic with $g(0)=0$, and determine the Bohr radius if any one of the following conditions holds: \bee $h$ is bounded in $\ID$. $h$ satisfies the condition ${\rm Re}\, h(z)\leq 1$ in $\mathbb{D}$ with $h(0)>0$. both $h$ and $g$ are bounded in $\ID$. $h$ is bounded and $g'(0)=0$. \eee We also consider the problem of determining the Bohr radius when the supremum of the modulus of the dilatation of $f$ in $\ID$ is strictly less than $1$. In addition, we determine the…
Let $f$ be a complex-valued harmonic mapping defined in the unit disk $\mathbb D$. We introduce the following notion: we say that $f$ is a Bloch-type function if its Jacobian satisfies $$ \sup_{z\in\mathbb D}(1-|z|^2)\sqrt{|J_f(z)|}<\infty. $$ This gives rise to a new class of functions which generalizes and contains the well-known analytic Bloch space. We give estimates for the schlicht radius, the growth and the coefficients of functions in this class. We establish an analogue of the theorem which states that an analytic $φ$ is Bloch if and only if there exists $c>0$ and a univalent $ψ$ such…
The Bloch-Landau Theorem is one of the basic results in the geometric theory of holomorphic functions. It establishes that the image of the open unit disc $\mathbb{D}$ under a holomorphic function $f$ (such that $f(0)=0$ and $f'(0)=1$) always contains an open disc with radius larger than a universal constant. In this paper we prove a Bloch-Landau type Theorem for slice regular functions over the skew field $\mathbb{H}$ of quaternions. If $f$ is a regular function on the open unit ball $\mathbb{B}\subset \mathbb{H}$, then for every $w \in \mathbb{B}$ we define the regular translation $\tilde f_…
In this paper, we introduce a family of analytic functions given by $$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 $…
Along with the development of the theory of slice regular functions over the real algebra of quaternions $\mathbb{H}$ during the last decade, some natural questions arose about slice regular functions on the open unit ball $\mathbb{B}$ in $\mathbb{H}$. This work establishes several new results in this context. Along with some useful estimates for slice regular self-maps of $\mathbb{B}$ fixing the origin, it establishes two variants of the quaternionic Schwarz-Pick lemma, specialized to maps $\mathbb{B}\to\mathbb{B}$ that are not injective. These results allow a full generalization to quaternio…
