Notes on certain classes of analytic functions with negative coefficients (Q1907260)

Let \(S\) denote the class of functions \(f\) of the form \(f(z)=z+ \sum^\infty_{k=2} a_kz^k\) analytic in the unit disc \(U=\{z:|z |<1\}\) and let \(T\) denote the subclass of \(S\) consisting of functions \(f(z)=z-\sum^\infty_{k=2}a _kz^k\) with \(a_k\geq 0\). Let \(S_n(A,B)\) denote the class of functions \(f\in T\) such that \(D^{n+1}f/D^nf=(1+A \omega)/ (1+B\omega)\) \((-1\leq A<B \leq 1)\), where \(n\in\mathbf N_0\) and \(\omega\) is analytic in \(U\) with \(\omega(0)=0\), \(|\omega(z)|\leq 1\), \(z\in U\). Further, let \(K_n(A,B)\) denote the class of functions \(f\in T\) such that \(zf'\in S_n(A,B)\). The classes \(S_n(A,B)\) and \(K_n(A,B)\) were introduced by the reviewer and R. Manjini a decade ago. Using the lemmas of the reviewer, the present authors obtain further properties of the above classes. (Here \(D^nf\) stands for the \(n\)th-order Ruscheweyh derivative).
