Sufficient conditions for starlike functions associated with the lemniscate of Bernoulli (Q394659)

Applying the notation of Ma and Minda, let \(S^*(\phi)\) denote the class of \(\phi\)-star-like functions \(f\) in the unit disk such that \(zf'(z)/f(z)\prec \phi(z)\). The authors study the cases \(\phi_1(z) = \sqrt{1+z}\) and \(\phi_2(z) =(1 + Az)/(1 + Bz) \), with \(-1 \leq B < A \leq 1\). The range of \(\phi_1\) is the right half of the domain bounded by the lemniscate of Bernoulli \(|w^2 -1| < 1\), see [\textit{J. Sokół} and \textit{J. Stankiewicz}, Zesz. Nauk. Politech. Rzesz., Mat. 147(19), 101--105 (1996; Zbl 0880.30014)], and the range of \(\phi_2\) is a disk [\textit{W. Janowski}, Ann. Pol. Math. 23, 159--177 (1970; Zbl 0199.39901)]. Using the theory of differential subordination [\textit{S. S. Miller} and \textit{P. T. Mocanu}, Differential subordinations: theory and applications. New York, NY: Marcel Dekker (2000; Zbl 0954.34003)], the authors determine the conditions on \(\beta\) for which \(1 + \beta zp'(z)/p^k(z) \prec \phi_i(z) \;(-1 < k \leq 3)\) implies \(p(z) \prec \phi_j(z)\), where \(i,j=1,2\).
