Let \(S\) denote the class of all normalized analytic univalent functions in the unit disk. In this paper the authors consider the functional \(\varphi(f)=| z/f(z)-1|\), \(f\in S\), and the basic result is the following: Theorem. If \(f\) is in \(S\) and \(| z|=r<1\), then \[ | z/f(z)-1|\leq [A^ 2(t_ 0)-2A(t_ 0)\cos \psi(t_ 0)+1]^{1/2}\tag{*} \] where \(A(t)=(1-r^ 2)(1+r/1-r)^{\cos t}\), \(\psi(t)=\sin t\log(1+r/1-r)\), \(t_ 0=t_ 0(r)\) is a suitable zero of the function \(D(t)=\sin(t+\psi(t))-A(t)\sin t\). The above estimate is sharp. The functional \(\varphi\) and estimate (*) play an essential role in the investigatons of the univalence of the integral transform \(\int_ 0^ z [f(t)/t]^ \alpha dt\) when \(f\in S\).
