Univalent functions with univalent Gelfond-Leontev derivatives

Let be a nondecreasing sequence of positive numbers. We consider Gelfond-Leontev derivative Df(z), of a function , defined by for univalence and growth properties, and extend some results of Shah and Trimble. Set en = {d1d2 … dn), n≥l, e0 = 1, . Let r be the radius of convergence of p(z). We state parts of Theorem 1 and Corollaries. Let f and all Dkf, k = 1, 2,…, be analytic and univalent in the unit disk U. Then(iii) if p is entire and of growth (ρ, T) then f must be entire and of growth not exceeding (ρ, 2d2T),(iv) if D corresponds to the shift operator (dn ≡ l), then .Another class of functions is defined by a condition of the form |an+1/an| ≤ bn+1/dn+1, where is a sequence of positive numbers satisfying and inequality, and it is shown that all functions in this class along with all their Gelfond–Leontev successive derivatives are regular and univalent in U. An extension of the definition of a linear invariant family is given and results analogous to (i) and (ii) are stated.

The Radius of Convexity of a Linear Combination of Functions in or uα

Labelle and Rahman [4] showed that if f , g ∈ , the normalized convex functions in the unit disc D, then has a radius of convexity at least as large as the smallest root of 1 – 3r + 2r2 — 2r3 = 0. Their method requires neither the properties of the arithmetic mean nor the strong geometric properties of ; indeed, the procedure works for a linear combination of functions from any linear invariant family of finite order.

Majorization-Subordination Theorems for Locally Univalent Functions, II

Let denote the set of all normalized analytic univalent functions in the open unit disc D. Let f(z), F(z) and φ(z) be analytic in |z| < r. We say that f(z) is majorized by F(z) in we say that f(z) is subordinate to F(z) in where .Let be the set of all locally univalent (f’(z) ≠ 0) analytic functions in D with order ≦α which are of the form f(z) = z +… . The family is known as the universal linear invariant family of order α [6]. A concise summary of and introduction to properties of linear invariant families which relate to the following material is contained in [1]. The present paper contains the proofs of some of the results announced in [1]
