Generalization of certain subclasses of analytic functions (Q1098968)

The author makes use of the operator D defined by \(Df(z)=zf'(z),\) \[ D\quad nf(z)=D(D^{n-1} f(z)),\quad D\quad 0f(z)=f(z) \] to introduce the classes \(T_ j(m,n,\alpha)\) of functions f(z) analytic in the unit disk U and having negative coefficients: \[ f(z)=z- \sum^{\infty}_{k=j+1}a_ kz\quad k,\quad a_ k\geq 0, \] such that \(Re\{D^{n+m}f(z)/D\) \(nf(z)\}>\alpha\) in U, where \(0\leq \alpha <1\), m,n are nonnegative integers and j is a positive integer. In this nicely self-contained paper sharp coefficient inequalities and distortion theorems are obtained for functions in \(T_ j(m,n,\alpha)\) as well as sharp bounds for the fractional integrals and derivatives of these functions introduced by \textit{S. Owa} [Kyungpook Math. J. 18, 53-59 (1978; Zbl 0401.30009)]. The results generalize some results of \textit{H. Silverman} [Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 51, 109-116 (1975; Zbl 0311.30007)].
