Inclusion relations between classes of functions defined by subordination (Q752878)

Let \({\mathcal A}\) denote the set of functions f that are analytic in the open unit disk and satisfy \(f(0)=0\) and \(f'(0)=1\). For \(a\geq b>0\), let R(a,b) denote the set of functions in \({\mathcal A}\) that satisfy \(| f'(z)-a| <b\) for \(| z| <1\) and let S(a,b) be defined by the condition \[ | \frac{zf'(z)}{f(z)}-a| <b,\text{ for } | z| <1. \] For \(0<r<1\) the sets \(R_ r(a,b)\) and \(S_ r(a,b)\) are defined where the conditions above hold for \(| z| <r\) instead of \(| z| <1\). Also let T(a,b) denote the set of functions \[ f(z)=z+\sum^{\infty}_{n=2}a_ nz^ n\quad (| z| <1)\text{ where } \sum^{\infty}_{n=2}(n-a+b)| a_ n| \leq b-| 1- a|. \] The authors prove inclusion relations between the various families; for example, \[ T(a,b)\subset T(a,c)\subset S(a,c)\text{ for } a\geq c\geq b. \] Also the families are compared when the functions are restricted to being polynomials of a given degree; for example, if \(P_ 3\) denotes the set of polynomials of degree at most three, then \[ P_ 3\cap R(1,1)=P_ 3\cap T(1,1)\neq P_ 3\cap S(1,1). \] Another result asserts that if \(f\in R(1,c)\) then \(f\in S_ r(1,b)\) where \(r=\frac{b(2+b)}{b(2+b)+c(1+b)}.\) Also the authors consider the extent to which functions in these classes are preserved or transformed under various operators. They consider Hadamard products and the operators \(f\to g\) defined by \[ g(z)=\frac{1+\gamma}{z^{\gamma}}\int^{z}_{0}t^{\gamma - 2}f(t)dt,\quad g(z)=\int^{z}_{0}\frac{f(\zeta)-f(x\zeta)}{\zeta - x\zeta}d\zeta \text{ and } g(z)=(1-t)f(z)+tzf'(z). \]
