On the Radii of univalence of Gel'fond-Leont'ev derivatives (Q4940592)

Let \( \sum_{k=o}^{\infty}l_{k}z^{k} \) be a formal power series with positive coefficients and let a function \( f(z) \) be analytic in the domain \(\{ z: |z|<R \}\), \(0<R\leq+\infty\). A power series of the form \[ {\mathcal D}_{l}^{n} f(z)=\sum_{k=0}^{\infty} {{l_{k}}\over{f_{k+n}}} {l_{k+n}} z^{n} \tag{1} \] is called the \(n\)-th Gel'fond-Leont'ev derivative of a function \( f(z) \) with respect to the function \( l(z)\). The author studies the asymptotic behaviour of the radii of univalence \( \rho_{n} \) of Gel'fond-Leont'ev derivatives as \(n\to+\infty.\) The main result of paper is the relation \[ \rho_{n} \asymp {{l_{n+2}}\over{l_{n+1}}} \biggl|{{f_{n+1}}\over{f_{n+2}}} \biggr| \] which is proved under the conditions that \( l^{2}_{k}/l_{k+1}l_{k-1} \) is a nonincreasing sequence and\break \(|f_{n}/f_{n+1}|=r_{n} \nearrow R\), \(n\to+\infty.\) The cases when the condition \( r_{n} \nearrow R\), \(n \to +\infty , \) is not fulfilled as well as particular cases \( 0 < R <+ \infty \) and \( R=+\infty \) are also studied.
