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...

A normalized univalent function f is called Ma–Minda starlike or convex if zf ðzÞ=f ðzÞ uðzÞ or 1þ zf ðzÞ=f 0ðzÞ uðzÞ where u is a convex univalent function with uð0Þ 1⁄4 1. The class of Ma–Minda convex functions is shown to be closed under certain operators that are generalizations of previously studied operators. Analogous inclusion results are also obtained for subclasses of starlike and clo...

Also let S, S∗ β , CV β , and K denote, respectively, the subclasses of A0 consisting of functions which are univalent, starlike of order β, convex of order β cf. 1 , and close-to-convex cf. 2 in U. In particular, S∗ 0 S∗ and CV 0 CV are the familiar classes of starlike and convex functions in U cf. 2 . Given f and g inA, the function f is said to be subordinate to g in U if there exits a funct...

By using functions of bounded variation we generalize the class of strongly starlike functions and related classes. The main object is to obtain characterizations and inclusion properties of these classes of functions.
