are classes of starlike and strongly starlike functions of order β (0 < β ≤ 1), respectively. Note that S∗(β)⊂ S∗ for 0< β< 1 and S∗(1)= S∗ [5]. Kanas [2] introduced the subclass R̄δ(β) of function f ∈ S as the following. Definition 1.1. For δ ≥ 0, β ∈ (0,1], a function f normalized by (1.1) belongs to R̄δ(β) if, for z ∈D−{0} and Dδf(z)≠ 0, the following holds: ∣∣∣arg z ( Dδf(z) )′ Dδf(z) ∣∣∣≤ βπ...

In a recent paper [2], G. R. Blakley raised a question about the decomposition of a ^-valent starlike function into the product of two ^-valent starlike functions. It is the purpose of this note to prove the conjecture of Blakley. Definition 1. The function/(z), regular in |z| <1, is said to be in the class S(p, m), where p and m are positive integers with p^m, if and only if (1) there exists a...

Alexander [1] was the first to introduce certain subclasses of univalent functions examining the geometric properties of the image f(D) of D under f . The convex functions are those that map D onto a convex set. A function w = f(z) is said to be starlike if, together with any of its points w, the image f(D) contains the entire segment {tw : 0 ≤ t ≤ 1}. Thus we introduce the denotations S = {f ∈...

For analytic functions f(z) in the open unit disk U with f(0) = 0 and f ′(0) = 1, S. S. Miller, P. T. Mocanu and M. O. Reade (Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 37(1973)) have introduced α-convex functions in U with some condition, and Z. Lewandowski, S. S. Miller and E. Zl /otkiewicz (Ann. Univ. Marie-Curie Skl /odowska 27(1974)) have discussed γ-starlike functions in U with some condition. The object of ...

Inclusion relations for k−uniformly starlike functions under the Dziok-Srivastava operator are established. These results are also extended to k−uniformly convex functions, close-to-convex, and quasi-convex functions.

1. In addition to the study devoted to the general class of normalized regular univalent functions in the unit circle considerable attention has been given to certain subclasses of these functions such as starlike functions, convex functions, and others. In view of the important role played by symmetrization methods in recent work it seems worth while to study a further subclass—the class of ci...

Let $p$ be an analytic function defined on the open unit disc $mathbb{D}$ with $p(0)=1.$ The conditions on $alpha$ and $beta$ are derived for $p(z)$ to be subordinate to $1+4z/3+2z^{2}/3=:varphi_{C}(z)$ when $(1-alpha)p(z)+alpha p^{2}(z)+beta zp'(z)/p(z)$ is subordinate to $e^{z}$. Similar problems were investigated for $p(z)$ to lie in a region bounded by lemniscate of Bernoulli $|w^{2}-1|=1$ ...

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...
