On sandwich theorems for some classes of analytic functions (Q2469053)

Let \(\mathcal{H}\) be the class of functions analytic in \(\Delta =\{ z: |z|<1\}\), and \(\mathcal{A}\) be the subclass of \(\mathcal{H}\) consisting of functions of the form \(f(z)=z+a_{2}z^{2}+\dots\). \textit{M. Obradovic} [Hokkaido Math. J. 27, No. 2, 329--335 (1998; Zbl 0908.30009)] introduced the class of ``non-Bazilevic'' functions, \(f\in \mathcal{A}\) such that for \(0<\alpha <1\), \[ \operatorname{Re} \left\{ f^{\prime}(z) \left ( \frac{z}{f(z)} \right )^{\alpha} \right\} >0,\quad z\in\Delta\, . \] Using this non-Bazilevic class, \textit{Z. Wang, C. Gao} and \textit{M. Liao} [Acta Math. Acad. Paedagog. Nyházi. (N.S.) 21, 147--154 (2005; Zbl 1092.30032)] studied many subordination results for the class \(N(\alpha ,\lambda ,A,B)\) defined as \[ N(\alpha ,\lambda ,A,B)=\left\{ f\in \mathcal{A}: (1+\lambda)\left ( \frac{z}{f(z)}\right )^{\alpha} -\lambda f^{\prime}(z) \left ( \frac{z}{f(z)}\right )^{1+\alpha} \prec \frac{1+Az}{1+Bz} \right\}, \] where \(\lambda\in\mathcal{C}\), \(-1\leq B\leq 1\), \(A\neq B\), \(0<\alpha <1\). The main object of the present paper, sequel to the aforementioned works, is to apply a method based on the differential subordination in order to derive several subordination, superordination and sandwich results, which generalize some previously results.
