Let $h$ be a non vanishing convex univalent function and $p$ be an analytic function in $\mathbb{D}$. We consider the differential subordination $$ψ_i(p(z), z p'(z)) \prec h(z)$$ with the admissible functions in consideration as $ψ_1:=(βp(z)+γ)^{-α}\left(\tfrac{(βp(z)+γ)}{β(1-α)}+ z p'(z)\right)$ and $ψ_2:=\tfrac{1}{\sqrt{γβ}}\arctan\left(\sqrt{\tfracβγ}p^{1-α}(z)\right)+\left(\tfrac{1-α}{βp^{2 (1-α)}(z)+γ}\right)\tfrac{z p'(z)}{p^α(z)}$. The objective of this paper is to find the dominants, preferably the best dominant(say $q$) of the solution of the above differential subordination satisfying $ψ_i(q, n zq'(z))= h(z)$. Further, we show that $ψ_i(q,zq'(z))= h(z)$ is an exact differential equation and $q$ is a convex univalent function in $\mathbb{D}$. In addition, we estimate the sharp lower bound of $\RE p$ for different choices of $h$ and derive a univalence criteria for functions in $\mathcal{H}$(class of analytic normalized functions) as an application to our results.
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…
In this article we determine the coefficient bounds for functions in certain subclasses of analytic functions defined by subordination which are related to the well-known classes of starlike and convex functions. The main results deal with some open problems proposed by Q.H. Xu et al. [20,21]. An application of Jack lemma for certain subclass of starlike functions has been discussed.
Functions with fixed initial coefficient have been widely studied. A new methodology is proposed in this paper by making appropriate modifications and improvements to the theory of second-order differential subordination. Several interesting examples are given. The results obtained are applied to the classes of convex and starlike functions with fixed second coefficient.
For $0\leqα\leq 1,$ let $H_α(x,y)$ be the convex weighted harmonic mean of $x$ and $y.$ We establish differential subordination implications of the form \begin{equation*} H_α(p(z),p(z)Θ(z)+zp'(z)Φ(z))\prec h(z)\Rightarrow p(z)\prec h(z), \end{equation*} where $Φ,\;Θ$ are analytic functions and $h$ is a univalent function satisfying some special properties. Further, we prove differential subordination implications involving a combination of three classical means. As an application, we generalize many existing results and obtain sufficient conditions for starlikeness and univalence.
Let $\mathcal{A}$ be the family of analytic and normalized functions in the open unit disc $|z|<1$. In this article we consider the following classes \begin{equation*} \mathcal{R}(α,β):=\left\{ f\in \mathcal{A}: {\rm Re}\left\{f'(z)+\frac{1+e^{iα}}{2}zf''(z)\right\}>β,\, |z|<1\right\} \end{equation*} and \begin{equation*} \mathcal{L}_α(b):=\left\{f\in\mathcal{A}:\left|f'(z) +\frac{1+e^{iα}}{2}zf''(z)-b\right|< b,\, |z|<1 \right\}, \end{equation*} where $-π<α\leq π$, $0\leq β<1$ and $b>1/2$. We show that if $f\in \mathcal{R}(α,β)$, then ${\rm Re}\{f'(z)\}$ and ${\rm Re}\{f(z)/z\}$ are greater t…
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.
In this article we consider a family $\mathcal{C}(A, B)$ of analytic and locally univalent functions on the open unit disc $\ID=\{z :|z|<1\}$ in the complex plane that properly contains the well-known Janowski class of convex univalent functions. In this article, we determine the exact set of variability of $\log(f'(z_0))$ with fixed $z_0 \in \ID$ and $f"(0)$ whenever $f$ varies over the class $\mathcal{C}(A, B)$.
We study the class ${\mathcal C}(Ω)$ of univalent analytic functions $f$ in the unit disk $\mathbb{D} = \{z \in \mathbb{C} :\,|z|<1 \}$ of the form $f(z)=z+\sum_{n=2}^{\infty}a_n z^n$ satisfying \[ 1+\frac{zf"(z)}{f'(z)} \in Ω, \quad z\in \mathbb{D}, \] where $Ω$ will be a proper subdomain of ${\mathbb C}$ which is starlike with respect to $1 (\in Ω)$. Let $ϕ_Ω$ be the unique conformal mapping of ${\mathbb D}$ onto $Ω$ with $ϕ_Ω(0)=1$ and $ϕ_Ω'(0) > 0$ and $ k_Ω(z) = \int_0^z \exp \left(\int_0^t ζ^{-1} (ϕ_Ω(ζ) -1) \, d ζ\right) \, dt$. Let $L_r(f)$ denote the arclength of the image of the circ…
The present article concerns the Bohr radius for $K$-quasiconformal sense-preserving harmonic mappings $f=h+\overline{g}$ in the unit disk $\mathbb{D}$ for which the analytic part $h$ is subordinated to some analytic function $φ$, and the purpose is to look into two cases: when $φ$ is convex, or a general univalent function in $\ID$. The results state that if $h(z) =\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}a_n z^n$ and $g(z)=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}b_n z^n$, then $$\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}(|a_n|+|b_n|)r^n\leq \dist (φ(0),\partialφ(\ID)) ~\mbox{ for $r\leq r^*$} $$ and give estimates for the largest possible $r^*$ depending o…
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…
Sufficient conditions are determined on the parameters such that the generalized and normalized Bessel function of the first kind and other related functions belong to subclasses of starlike and convex functions defined in the unit disk associated with the exponential mapping. Several differential subordination implications are derived for analytic functions involving Bessel function and the operator introduced by Baricz \emph{et al.} [Differential subordinations involving generalized Bessel functions, Bull. Malays. Math. Sci. Soc. {\bf 38} (2015), no.~3, 1255--1280]. These results are obtaine…
The goal of this paper is to introduce and study some geometric properties of slice regular functions of quaternion variable like univalence, subordination, starlikeness, convexity and spirallikeness in the unit ball. We prove a number of results, among which an Area-type Theorem, Rogosinski inequality, and a Bieberbach-de Branges Theorem for a subclass of slice regular functions. We also discuss some geometric and algebraic interpretations of our results in terms of maps from $\mathbb R^4$ to itself. As a tool for subordination we define a suitable notion of composition of slice regular funct…
In this article, we establish the Bohr inequalities for the sense-preserving $K$-quasiconformal harmonic mappings defined in the unit disk $\mathbb{D}$ involving classes of Ma-Minda starlike and convex univalent functions, usually denoted by $\mathcal{S}^*(ψ)$ and $\mathcal{C}(ψ)$ respectively, and for $\log (f(z)/z)$ where $f$ belongs to the Ma-Minda classes or satisfies certain differential subordination. We also estimate Logarithmic coefficient's bounds for the functions in $\mathcal{C}(ψ)$ for the case $ψ(\mathbb{D})$ be convex.
Sufficient conditions on $A$, $B$, $p$, $b$ and $c$ are determined that will ensure the generalized Bessel functions ${u}_{p,b,c}$ satisfies the subordination ${u}_{p,b,c}(z) \prec (1+Az)/ (1+Bz)$. In particular this gives conditions for $(-4κ/c)({u}_{p,b,c}(z)-1)$, $c \neq 0$ to be close-to-convex. Also, conditions for which ${u}_{p,b,c}(z)$ to be Janowski convex, and $z{u}_{p,b,c}(z)$ to be Janowski starlike in the unit disk $\mathbb{D}=\{z \in \mathbb{C}: |z|<1\}$ are obtained.
Let $ϕ$ be a normalized convex function defined on open unit disk $\mathbb{D}$. For a unified class of normalized analytic functions which satisfy the second order differential subordination $f'(z)+ αz f''(z) \prec ϕ(z)$ for all $z\in \mathbb{D}$, we investigate the distortion theorem and growth theorem. Further, the bounds on initial logarithmic coefficients, inverse coefficient and the second Hankel determinant involving the inverse coefficients are examined.
For $ -1 \leq B \leq 1$ and $A>B$, let $\mathcal{S}^*[A,B]$ denote the class of generalized Janowski starlike functions consisting of all normalized analytic functions $f$ defined by the subordination $z f'(z)/f(z) \prec (1+ A z)/(1+ B z)$ $(|z|<1)$. For $-1 \leq B \leq 1<A$, we investigate the inverse coefficient problem for functions in the class $\mathcal{S}^*[A,B]$ and its meromorphic counter part. Also, for $ -1 \leq B \leq 1 < A $, the sharp bounds for first five coefficients for inverse functions of generalized Janowski convex functions are determined. A simple and precise proof for inv…
For an analytic function $f$ defined on the unit disk $|z|<1$, let $Δ(r,f)$ denote the area of the image of the subdisk $|z|<r$ under $f$, where $0<r\le 1$. In 1990, Yamashita conjectured that $Δ(r,z/f)\le πr^2$ for convex functions $f$ and it was finally settled in 2013 by Obradović and et. al.. In this paper, we consider a class of analytic functions in the unit disk satisfying the subordination relation $zf'(z)/f(z)\prec (1+(1-2β)αz)/(1-αz)$ for $0\le β<1$ and $0<α\le 1$. We prove Yamashita's conjecture problem for functions in this class, which solves a partial solution to an open problem …
The Bohr radius for a class $\mathcal{G}$ consisting of analytic functions $f(z)=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}a_nz^n$ in unit disc $\mathbb{D}=\{z\in\mathbb{C}:|z|<1\}$ is the largest $r^*$ such that every function $f$ in the class $\mathcal{G}$ satisfies the inequality \begin{equation*} d\left(\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}|a_nz^n|, |f(0)|\right) = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty}|a_nz^n|\leq d(f(0), \partial f(\mathbb{D})) \end{equation*} for all $|z|=r \leq r^*$, where $d$ is the Euclidean distance. In this paper, our aim is to determine the Bohr radius for the classes of analytic functions $f$ satisfying differential subor…
