Abstract

In this paper, we derive several interesting subordination results for certain class of analytic functions defined by the linear operatorL(a, c)f(z)which introduced and studied by Carlson and Shaffer [2].

Corresponding to the functionφ(a, c;z),Carlson and Shaffer [2] introduced a linear operatorL(a, c) :A → Aby

(1.6) L(a, c)f(z) := φ(a, c;z)∗f(z), or, equivalently, by

L(a, c)f(z) :=z+

For−1 ≤ α < 1, β ≥ 0, we let L(a, c;α, β) consist of functions f in A satisfying the condition

ForL(1,1;α,0), we obtain the family of starlike functions of orderα(0≤α <1)andL(2,1;α,0) is the family of convex functions of orderα(0≤ α <1).ForL(1,1; 0, β)and L(2,1; 0, β), we obtain the class of uniformly β- starlike functions and uni- formlyβ- convex functions, respectively, introduced by Kanas and Winsiowska

([3],[4]) (see also the work of Kanas and Srivastava [5], Goodman ([7],[8]), Rønning ([10],[11]), Ma and Minda [9] and Gangadharan et al. [6]).

Before we state and prove our main result we need the following definitions and lemmas.

Definition 1.1 (Subordination Principle). Let g(z)be analytic and univalent in∆.Iff(z)is analytic in∆, f(0) =g(0),andf(∆) ⊂g(∆),then we see that the functionf(z)is subordinate tog(z)in∆,and we writef(z)≺g(z).

Definition 1.2 (Subordinating Factor Sequence). A sequence{b_n}^∞_n=1of com- plex numbers is called a subordinating factor sequence if, whenever f(z) is analytic , univalent and convex in∆, we have the subordination given by (1.8)

and the proof is complete.

LetL^?(a, c;α, β)denote the class of functionsf(z)∈ Awhose coefficients satisfy the condition (1.10). We note thatL^?(a, c;α, β)⊆ L(a, c;α, β).

2. Main Theorem

Employing the techniques used earlier by Srivastava and Attiya [13], Attiya [1]

and Singh [12], we state and prove the following theorem.

Theorem 2.1. Let the functionf(z)defined by (1.1) be in the classL^?(a, c;α, β) where−1≤α < 1 ; β ≥0;a >0;c >0.Also let Kdenote the familiar class of functionsf(z)∈ Awhich are also univalent and convex in∆. Then

(2.1) σ₂(a, c;α, β)

2[1−α+σ₂(a, c;α, β)](f ∗g)(z)≺g(z) (z ∈∆; g ∈ K), and

(2.2) Re(f(z))>−1−α+σ₂(a, c;α, β)

σ₂(a, c;α, β) , (z ∈∆).

The constant _2[1−α+σ^σ²^(a,c;α,β)

2(a,c;α,β)] is the best estimate.

Proof. Letf(z)∈ L^?(a, c;α, β)and letg(z) = z+P∞

n=2c_nzⁿ∈ K. Then (2.3) σ₂(a, c;α, β)

2[1−α+σ₂(a, c;α, β)](f∗g)(z)

= σ2(a, c;α, β)

Thus, by Definition1.2, the assertion of our theorem will hold if the sequence (2.4)

Now Re

1−α+σ₂(a, c;α, β)r− 1−α

1−α+σ₂(a, c;α, β)r (|z|=r)

>0.

Thus (2.5) holds true in∆.This proves the inequality (2.1). The inequality (2.2) follows by taking the convex functiong(z) = _1−z^z =z+P∞

n=2zⁿ in (2.1). To prove the sharpness of the constant _2[1−α+σ^σ²^(a,c;α,β)

2(a,c;α,β)], we consider the function f₀(z)∈ L^?(a, c;α, β)given by

(2.6) f₀(z) = z− 1−α

σ2(a, c;α, β)z² (−1≤α <1; β ≥0).

Thus from (2.1), we have

(2.7) σ₂(a, c;α, β)

2[1−α+σ₂(a, c;α, β)]f₀(z)≺ z 1−z. It can easily verified that

(2.8) min

Re

σ₂(a, c;α, β)

2[1−α+σ₂(a, c;α, β)]f₀(z)

=−1

2 (z ∈∆), This shows that the constant _2[1−α+σ^σ²^(a,c;α,β)

2(a,c;α,β)] is best possible.

Corollary 2.2. Let the functionf(z)defined by (1.1) be in the classL^?(1,1;α, β) and satisfy the condition

The constant _{2(β+3−2α)}^β+2−α is the best estimate.
