About a condition for starlikeness (Q2642189)

Let \(A\) denote the class of functions \(f(z)=z+\sum_{k=2}^{\infty}a_{k}z^{k}\) analytic in the unit disk \(U=\{z\in\mathbb{C}:| z| <1\}\). Consider the classes \[ S^{*}=\left\{f\in A :\Re\frac{zf'(z)}{f(z)}>0,\;z\in U\right\} \] \[ R_{\alpha}=\left\{f\in A:\Re(f'(z)+\alpha zf''(z))>0,\;z\in U\right\},\quad\alpha\geq 0. \] Let \(m=\inf\left\{\alpha\in(0,\infty):R_{\alpha}\subset S^{*}\right\}\). Using the method of convolution, the authors prove that \(m\in \left(\frac{1}{8},\frac{1}{7}\right)\).
