Subclasses of spirallike functions defined by subordination (Q679194)

Let \(\mathcal A\) denote the class of all analytic functions \(f(z)\) in the open unit disc of the plane with \(f(0)=0=1-f'(0)\). \(S^\alpha(a,b)\) (\(-{\pi\over 2}<\alpha<{\pi\over 2}\), \(a\in\mathbb{C}\), \(b\in\mathbb{R}\) with \(\text{Re }a\geq b\) and \(|1-a|<b\)) denotes the class of all \(f\in{\mathcal A}\) for which \[ |\{(e^{-\alpha}zf'(z)/f(z)- i\sin\alpha)/\cos\alpha\}-a|< b \] for all \(|z|<1\). \(S^\alpha[A,B]\) (\(|A|\leq 1\), \(|B|\leq 1\), \(A\neq B\), \(-{\pi\over 2}<\alpha<{\pi\over 2}\)) denotes the class of \(f\in{\mathcal A}\) for which \(e^{i\alpha}zf'(z)/f(z)\) is subordinate to \([(1+ Az)/(1+Bz)]\cos\alpha+ i\sin\alpha\) for \(|z|<1\). \[ \begin{aligned} K^\alpha(a,b) &=\{f\in{\mathcal A}: zf'(z)\in S^\alpha(a,b)\},\\ K^\alpha[A,B] &=\{f\in{\mathcal A}: zf'(z)\in S^\alpha[A,B]\}.\end{aligned} \] The authors characterize these families using convolution products and obtain the radius of spiral likeness for \(S^\alpha[A,B]\).
