Notes on p-valently Bazilevich functions (Q802790)

Let \({\mathcal A}_ p\) be the family of functions f of the form \(f(z)=z^ p+a_{p+1}z^{p+1}+...\), (p\(\in \{1,2,...\})\), that are analytic in the unit disc \(\Delta =\{z:| z| <1\}\). This paper deals with the following subfamilies: \[ {\mathcal A}_ p(\alpha,\beta)=\{f\in {\mathcal A}_ p:\;Re J(f(z);\alpha)>\beta,\quad z\in \Delta \}, \] \[ {\mathcal C}_ p(\alpha,\beta)=\{f\in {\mathcal A}_ p:\;Re J(f(z);\alpha)<\beta,\quad z\in \Delta \}, \] for some real \(\alpha\) and \(\beta\), where \[ J(f(z);\alpha)=(1-\alpha)(zf'(z)/f(z))+\alpha (1+zf''(z)/f'(z)). \] In the present paper it is proved that for \(f\in {\mathcal A}_ p(\alpha,\beta)\) with \(\alpha >0\), \(0\leq -\beta /\alpha \leq 1/2\) (or \(f\in {\mathcal C}_ p(\alpha,\beta)\) with \(\alpha\neq 0\), \(\beta >p\) and \(0\leq -\beta /\alpha \leq 1/2)\), one has \[ Re[zf'(z)/(f(z)^{1- 1/\alpha}g(z)^{1/\alpha})]>p2^{2\alpha /\beta}, \] which is an improvement of results of \textit{M. Nunokawa}, \textit{S. Owa}, \textit{H. Saitoh}, T. Yaguchi and \textit{S. K. Lee} [Sci. Rep. Fac. Educ. Gunma Univ. 36, 1-6 (1988; Zbl 0646.30021)].
