On the multivalent functions (Q5896610)

In this article the authors proved that if p is analytic in the unit disc \(\Delta\), \(p(0)=1\) then \[ (*)\;| p(z)+zp'(z)-1| <2 \text{ implies } | p(z)-1| <1,\quad z\in \Delta. \] This is in fact a simple special case of a known result [take \(A=0\), \(B(z)=1/2\), \(z\in \Delta\) in Theorem 4] of \textit{S. S. Miller} and \textit{P. T. Mocanu} [see J. Diff. Equations 67, 199-211 (1987; Zbl 0633.34005)]. As an immediate consequence of (*) the authors obtained that if \(f(z)=z^ p+..\). (p\(\geq 2)\) is analytic in \(\Delta\) and \(| J_ p(f(z))| <2(p!)\) then f is p-valent in \(\Delta\), where \[ J_ p(f(z))=f^{(p)}(z)-p!\text{ or } f^{(p+1)}(z). \]
