Convex combinations of <i>n</i> analytic functions in generalized Ruscheweyh class (Q4359998)

The authors introduce the following subclasses of analytic functions in the open unit disc of the complex plane: (i) \(f(z)\in P_k^\lambda(\beta)\) if \(f(0)=1\) and \[ \int_0^{2\pi}|\text{Re } e^{i\lambda}p(z)- \beta\cos\lambda|d\theta\leq k\pi(1-\beta)\cos \lambda \] where \(k\geq 2\), \(-\frac{\pi}{2}< \lambda< \frac{\pi}{2}\), \(0\leq\beta< 1\), \(z=re^{i\theta}\), \(0\leq r<1\). (ii) \(f(z)\in V_k(\beta, b,\delta)\) if \(f(0)=0= 1-f'(0)\) and \(1- \frac2b+\frac2b+ \frac{D^{\delta+2}f(z)} {d^{\delta+1}f(z)}\in P_k^\lambda(\beta)\) with \(D^\delta f(z)=\frac{z} {(1-z)^{\delta+1}}* f(z)\) where \(*\) denotes the Hadamard convolution for analytic functions. The main result of this paper is the following. ``If \(f_i(z)\) \((1\leq i\leq n)\) are all functions in \(V_k^\lambda (\beta,b,\delta)\) then \(F(z)= \sum_{j=1}^n \gamma_j f_j(z)\) \((\gamma_j\in \mathbb{C}\) with \(\gamma_1+ \gamma_2+ \gamma_3+\dots+ \gamma_n=1)\) satisfies \[ \text{Re} \Biggl\{ 1-\frac2b+ \frac2b \frac{D^{\delta+2}F(z)} {D^{\delta+1}F(z)} \Biggr\}>0 \] in a disc \(|z|<R_0\) for a suitable \(R_0\).'' The value of \(R_0\) is too complicated to be reproduced here.
