On an integral transform of a class of analytic functions (Q696025)

Summary: For \(\alpha, \gamma \geq 0\) and \(\beta < 1\), let \(\mathcal W_\beta(\alpha, \gamma)\)denote the class of all normalized analytic functions \(f\) in the open unit disc \(E = \{z : |z| < 1\}\) such that \(\mathrm{Re} e^{i\phi}((1 - \alpha + 2\gamma)(f(z)/z) + (\alpha - 2\gamma)f'(z) + \gamma zf''(z)- \beta) > 0, z \in E\), for some \(\phi \in \mathbb R\). It is known that functions in \(\mathcal W_\beta(1, 0)\) are close-to-convex and hence univalent for \((0 \leq \beta < 1)\). For \(f \in \mathcal W_\beta(\alpha, \gamma)\), we consider the integral transform \(F(z) = V_\lambda(f)(z) := \int^1_0 \lambda(t)(f(tz)/t)dt\), where \(\lambda\) is a nonnegative real-valued integrable function satisfying the condition \(\int^1_0 \lambda(t)dt = 1\). The aim of present paper is to find, for given \(\delta < 1\), sharp values of \(\beta\) such that (i) \(V_\lambda(f) \in \mathcal W_\delta(1, 0)\) whenever \(f \in \mathcal W_\beta(\alpha, \gamma)\) and (ii) \(V_\lambda(f) \in \mathcal W_\delta(\alpha, \gamma)\) whenever \(f \in \mathcal W_\beta(\alpha, \gamma)\).
