For \(n= 0,1,2,\dots, k\geq 2\), \(0\leq\alpha< 1\) define the class \(R_k(n,\alpha)\) to be the class of analytic functions \(f\) in the open unit disc \(E\) of the complex plane which satisfy \[ \text{Re} {z(D^nf(z))'\over D^nf(z)}= \Biggl({k\over 4}+{1\over 2}\Biggr) p_1(z)- \Biggl({k\over 4}-{1\over 2}\Biggr) p_2(z)\quad (z\in E), \] where \(D^nf\) denotes the Hadamard convolution of \(f\) with \({z\over(1- z)^{n+ 1}}\) and \(p_1(z)\), \(p_2(z)\) are analytic in \(E\) with \(p_1(0)= p_2(0)= 1\), \(\text{Re }p_i(z)> \alpha\) \((i= 1,2)\) for \(z\in E\). In this paper the author obtains coefficient estimates for functions in the family \(R_k(n,\alpha)\) and also considers the problem of finding \(\alpha\)'s for which \(I_\beta(f)\in R_k(n,\alpha)\) if \(f\in R_k(n,0)\) and \[ I_\beta(f)= {\beta+ 1\over z^\beta} \int^z_0 t^{\beta- 1}f(t) dt. \] Conversely if \(I_\beta(f)\in R_k(n,\alpha)\) the author determines a radius \(r_\beta\) such that for \(|z|< r_\beta\), \(f\in R_k(n,\alpha)\). The techniques adapted are well-known.
