No label defined (Q4337895)

The author continues the investigation of starlike mappings in \(\mathbb{C}^n\) [for part I see ibid. 37, No. 1-2, 71-80 (1995; Zbl 0888.32010)]. Several sufficient conditions of starlikeness are proved in this paper. Let us formulate one of them. Theorem 6. Let \(f\) be a locally univalent mapping from the unit ball in \(\mathbb{C}^n\) into \(\mathbb{C}^n\) such that \(f(0)=0\), \(Df(0)=I\) and \[ \Bigl|\biggl\langle\bigl(Df(z)\bigr)^{-1}D^2f(z)(b,b),z\biggl\rangle+1 \Bigr|<2,\quad \forall z\in B^n\setminus\{0\},\quad b\in\mathbb{C}^n \setminus \{0\},\quad \langle b,z \rangle= \| z\|^2 \] where \(Df\) and \(D^2f\) are the first and the second Frechet derivatives of \(f\). Then \(f\) is a starlike mapping. As corollaries of the proved theorems several results of S. Miller and P. Mocanu are obtained.
