A study on harmonic functions (Q7012812)

This paper deals with the subclass \( S_{H}(k) \) of the class \( S_{H} \) of planar harmonic functions \( f(z) \) mapping the unit disk \( D \) into itself.\NIt is proved that the second dilation of \( f \) is subordinated to some function \( p_{k}(z) \in \mathcal{P}_{k} \) from the family of regular analytic functions \(\mathcal{P}\) in \(D\)\Nthat can be written as linear combination of some \( p_{1}, p_{2} \in \mathcal{P} \) with coefficients linearly depending on \( k \geq 4 \). Therefore, \( S_{H} \) is related to the set\Nof functions having bounded radius rotation (brr). The classes brr and bbr (bounded boundary rotation) generalize the star-like, respectively the convex analytic functions. The\Nabove mentioned classes were introduced by \textit{K. Löwner} [Leipz. Ber. 69, 89--106 (1917; JFM 46.0556.02)] and the case bbr was studied in details by \textit{V. Paatero} [Ann. Acad. Sci. Fenn., Ser. A 33, 1--79 (1931; Zbl 0005.25104); Ann. Acad. Sci. Fenn., Ser. A 37, 20 p. (1933; JFM 59.1045.03)].
