A note on certain subclass of close-to-convex functions (Q1112975)

Let A denote the class of regular functions such that \(f(z)=z+\sum^{\infty}_{n=2}a_ nz^ n\) \((| z| <1).\) Moreover, let P'(1-\(\alpha\),0) denote the subclass of A satisfying the following condition \[ | f'(z)-1| <1-\alpha \quad (0\leq \alpha <1). \] The authors remark that if f(z)\(\in P'(1-\alpha,0)\), \(Re\{f'(z)\}>\alpha\) \((0\leq \alpha <1)\) and then, f(z) is close-to- convex. By means of \textit{S. S. Miller} and \textit{P. T. Mocanu}'s result [J. Math. Anal. Appl. 65, 289-305 (1978; Zbl 0367.34005)], the authors prove the following theorem and then show its applications: \[ f(z)/z\quad \prec \quad 1+((1-\alpha)/2)z\quad (f(z)\in P'(1-\alpha,0)), \] where \(\prec\) denote subordination.
