We make a survey of recent results on the geometrical properties of smooth bump functions and the geometrical and topological properties of starlike bodies in Banach spaces. We try to stress the interplay between infinitedimensional topology and nonlinear functional analysis by relating questions about topological and geometrical properties of starlike bodies to other interesting problems on no...

These are normalized functions regular and univalent in E: IzI < 1, for which f( E) is starlike with respect to the origin. Let y be a circle contained in E and let [ be the center of y. The Pinchuk question is this: Iff(z) is in ST, is it true thatf(y) is a closed curve that is starlike with respect tof(i)? In Section 5 we will see that the answer is no. There seems to be no reason to demand t...

In the present paper, we introduce and investigate some properties of two subclasses $ Lambda_{n}( lambda , beta ) $ and $ Lambda_{n}^{+}( lambda , beta ) $;  meromorphic and starlike  functions of order $ beta $. In particular, several inclusion relations, coefficient estimates, distortion theorems and covering theorems are proven here for each of these function classes.

AbstractIn this paper, we introduce a new class K(α, β) of uniformly convex functions defined by a certain fractional calculus operator. The class has interesting subclasses like β-uniformly starlike, βuniformly convex and β-uniformly pre-starlike functions. Properties like coefficient estimates, growth and distortion theorems, modified Hadamard product, inclusion property, extreme points, clos...

Here, we find the characteristics polynomial of normalized Laplacian of a tree. The coefficients of this polynomial are expressed by the higher order general Randić indices for matching, whose values depend on the structure of the tree. We also find the expression of these indices for starlike tree and a double-starlike tree, Hm(p, q). Moreover, we show that two cospectral Hm(p, q) of the same ...
