Some properties of certain multivalent functions (Q5966621)

Let \(A(p,n)\) denote the class of functions of the form: \(f(z)=z^ p+\sum^ \infty_{{k=p+n}}a_ kz^ k\) (\(p,n\in \mathbb{N}\)), which are analytic in the unit disk \(U\). Let \(S(p,n,\alpha)\), \(K(p,n,\alpha)\) and \(C(p,n,\alpha)\) be the subclasses of functions \(f\in A(p,n)\), which are \(p\)-valently starlike of order \(\alpha\), \(p\)-valently convex of order \(\alpha\), and \(p\)-valently close-to-convex of order \(\alpha\), respectively. A function \(f\) in the class \(A(p,n)\) is said to be \(p\)- valently \(\alpha\)-convex of order \(\beta\), if it satisfies \[ Re\left((1- \alpha)-{zf'(z)\over f(z)}+\alpha\left(1+{zf''(z)\over f'(z)}\right)\right)>\beta, \] for some \(\alpha\) \((\alpha\geq 0)\), \(\beta\) \((0\leq \beta < p)\). We denote by \(M(p,n,\alpha,\beta)\) the subclass of \(A(p,n)\) consisting of all such functions. The author has proved the following theorems. Theorem 1: If \(f\in M(p,n,\alpha,\beta)\) with \(0\leq {p-\alpha n\over 2}\leq \beta <p\), then \[ f\in S(p,n,\gamma(p,n,\alpha,\beta)),\;\gamma(p,n,\alpha,\beta)=(2\beta-\alpha n+\sqrt{(2\beta-\alpha n)^ 2+8\alpha pn})/4. \] Theorem 2: If \(f\) \(A(p,n)\) satisfies, for \(z\in U\), \(\text{Re}\left(1+{zf''(z)\over f'(z)}\right)>\alpha-\beta\), for some \(\alpha\) (\(\alpha > 0\)) and \(\beta\) (\(0<\beta\leq n/2(1-\gamma))\), where \(\gamma=\alpha/p+\beta\), then \[ f\in C(p,n,\delta(p,n,\alpha,\beta)),\text{ where } \delta(p,n,\alpha,\beta)=n(p+\beta)/((p+\beta)(n+2\beta)-2\alpha\beta ). \] Some special cases and a conjecture for certain multivalent functions are discussed.
