Typically real harmonic functions

Abstract: We consider a class

T H O

of typically real harmonic functions on the unit disk that contains the class of normalized analytic and typically real functions. We also obtain some partial results about the region of univalence for this class.

Review text

The authors modify the Clunie-Sheil-Small definition of typically real harmonic mappings on the unit disk \(\mathbb{D}\) in such a way that functions \(f(z)= h(z)+ \overline{g(z)}\) in their class, denoted by \({\mathcal T}_H\), may not be locally univalent and, moreover, all typically real analytic \(f(z)\) are in \({\mathcal T}_H\). Denote by \({\mathcal T}^0_H\) the subclass of \({\mathcal T}_H\) of all those \(f\) for which \(g'(0)= 0\). It is proved that functions in \({\mathcal T}_H\) are strictly increasing on the interval \((-1,1)\) and that \({\mathcal T}^0_H\) is compact, and its extreme points are determined. Next, the authors concentrate on the univalence problem for \({\mathcal T}^0_H\) and show the following:NEWLINENEWLINE (1) for each \(f\) there exists an open set \(V\) with \((-1,1)\subset V\subset \mathbb{D}\) on which \(f\) is univalent;NEWLINENEWLINE (2) each \(f\in{\mathcal T}^0_H\) is univalent on the disk \(D(0,\sqrt{6}-\sqrt{5})\) and on the domain \(\{z\in \mathbb{D}:|2z(1+ z^2)^{-1}|< \sqrt{2}- 1\}\).NEWLINENEWLINE The paper is concluded with conjectures and open problems.
