Let \(f(z)\) be analytic on the unit disc \(\mathbb{D}\) with \(f(z)f'(z)/z\neq 0\). The author calls \(f\) ``\(\alpha\)-close-to-convex of order \(\beta\)'' if for some \(\alpha\geq 0\) and \(0\leq\beta<1\) there exists a normalized starlike function \(g(z)\) on \(\mathbb{D}\) such that \[ \text{Re}\left( (1-\alpha) {{zf'(z)} \over {g(z)}} +\alpha {{(zf'(z))'} \over {g'(z)}}\right)>\beta \qquad \text{for each } z\in\mathbb{D}. \] The class of all such functions is denoted by \(C_{\alpha,\beta}\). The author obtains some properties of these classes such as \(C_{\alpha,\beta} \subset C_{0,\beta}\), and \(C_{\alpha,\beta} \subset C_{\gamma,\delta}\) if \(0\leq\gamma\leq\alpha\) and \(0\leq\delta\leq\beta<1\). The author also obtains a decomposition theorem which asserts that every \(f\in C_{\alpha,\beta}\) is of the form \(f(z)=(1-\beta)F(z)+\beta h(z)\) where \(F\in C_{\alpha,0}\) and \(h\) is convex, and gives some coefficient inequalities for functions in \(C_{\alpha,\beta}\).
