On a class of starlike functions related to a shell-like curve connected with Fibonacci numbers

In this paper we investigate an interesting subclass SL of analytic univalent functions in the open unit disc on the complex plane. This class was introduced by Sokół [J. Sokół, On starlike functions connected with Fibonacci numbers, Folia Scient. Univ. Tech. Resoviensis 175 (1999) 111–116]. The class SL is strongly related to the class KSL considered earlier by the authors of the present work in their paper [J. Dziok, R. K. Raina, J. Sokół, Certain results for a class of convex functions related to shell-like curve connected with Fibonacci Numbers, Comput.Math. Appl. 61 (2011) 2606–2613]. Apart from furnishing some genuine remarks, we present certain new results for the class SL of functions, and also mention some relevant cases for this function class. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.
