A class of multivalent functions (Q2367082)

\textit{I. S. Jack} [J. Lond. Math. Soc. II. Ser. 3, 469-474 (1971; Zbl 0224.30026)] considered the class \(F\) of all \(f\) analytic the \(U\) with \(f(0)= f'(0)- 1\) satisfying \(|f'(z)- 1|< 1\) in \(U\), and showed that if \(f\in F\), then \(f\) is starlike in \(|z|< \sqrt 4/4\doteqdot 0.894\). Here, the author considers the \(p\)-valent case. Let \(p\geq 2\) and \(f\in A(p)\) \((f(z)= z^p+ \sum^\infty_{p+ 1} a_n z^n)\). If \(\text{Re}({z f^{(p- 1)}(z)\over f^{(p- 2)}(z)})> 0\) in \(U\) then the author shows that \(\text{Re}({zf'(z)\over f(z)})> 0\) in \(U\). He also produces a counterexample to show that his result is not true in the case of \(p= 1\).
