Let \(S^*_ p(\alpha)\), \(0\leq \alpha <1\), \(p>1\) denote the class of functions analytic and \(p\)-valent in the unit disc \(E=\{z: | z|<1\}\) and satisfying there the condition \({zf'(z)\over f(z)}<p{1+(2\alpha-1)z\over 1+z}\), \(z\in E\). A function \(f(z)=z^ p+a_{p+1} z^{p+1}+\cdots\) analytic and \(p\)-valent in \(E\) is said to belong to \(R^ p_ \alpha\), \(p\geq 1\), \(0\leq \alpha<1\), \(f*{z^ p\over (1-z)^{2p(1-\alpha)}}\in S^*_ p(\alpha)\). Let \(R_ p[\alpha]\) denote the class of those functions in \(R^ p_ \alpha\) which can be expressed in the form \[ f(z)= z^ p-\sum^ \infty_{m=2} | a_{p+m-1}| z^{p+m-1}. \] In this paper the authors obtain representation theorems, coefficient inequalities, distortion theorem, closure theorem, extreme points and radius of convexity for functions in the class \(R_ p[\alpha]\). The techniques followed to prove these results are similar to those used by the reviewer and \textit{N. S. Sohi} in [Indian J. Pure Appl. Math. 12, 844-853 (1981; Zbl 0463.30016)]. [Reviewer's remarks: There are a number of misprints and mistakes in the paper].
