Conic regions and \(k\)-uniform convexity (Q1301974)

Let \(f(z)=z+a_2z^2+\dots\) be analytic and univalent in the unit disk \(D\). A function \(f\) is said to be \(k\)-uniformly convex in \(U\) if the image of every circular arc \(\gamma\), \(\gamma\subset D\) with its center at \(a\), \(|a|\leq k\), \(0\leq k<+\infty\), is convex. The authors establish a necessary and sufficient condition for \(f\) to be \(k\)-uniformly convex, study their properties and solve several extremal problems. Their results generalise some earlier ones due to a \textit{A. W. Goodman} [Ann. Pol. Math. 56, No. 1, 87-92 (1991; Zbl 0744.30010)] and \textit{F. Rønning} [Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 118, No. 1, 189-196 (1993; Zbl 0805.30012)].
