Abstract

We study the univalence conditions for two integral operators to be univalent in the open unit disk. Many known univalence conditions are written to prove our main results.

1. Introduction and Preliminaries

Let denote the class of functions of the form: which are analytic in the open unit disk: and satisfy the following usual normalization condition: We denote by the subclass of consisting of functions which are univalent in .

In [1], for , Silverman considered the class:

Here, in our present investigation, we consider two general families of integral operators:; ; ,  for all ;; for all .

Many authors have studied the problem of integral operators which preserve the class (see, e.g., [25]).

In the present paper, we study the univalence conditions involving the general families of integral operators defined by (1.5) and (1.6).

In the proof of our main results (Theorem 2.1 and Theorem 3.1), we need the following univalence criterion. The univalence criterion, asserted by Theorem 1.1, is a generalization of Ahlfor’s and Becker’s univalence criterion; it was proven by Pescar [6].

Theorem 1.1 (see Pescar [6]). Let with , with , . If satisfies for all , then the integral operator, is in the class .

Finally, in the present investigation, one also needs the familiar Schwarz Lemma (see, for details, [7]).

Lemma 1.2 ((General Schwarz Lemma) (see [7])). Let the function be regular in the disk , with for fixed . If has one zero with multiplicity order bigger than for , then The equality can hold only if where is constant.

2. Univalence Conditions for

Theorem 2.1. Let () and , , be complex numbers with and and let be such that If for all , satisfy the conditions: and , with then the integral operator defined by (1.5) is in the class .

Proof. We begin by setting and then we calculate for the derivates of the first and second orders.
From (2.5), we obtain Thus, we have From the hypothesis (2.3) of Theorem 2.1, we have for all .
By applying the General Schwarz Lemma, we thus obtain Since , for all , from (1.4), (2.4), we obtain which readily shows that where we have also used the hypothesis (2.2) of Theorem 2.1.
Finally, by applying Theorem 1.1, we conclude that the integral operator defined by (1.5) is in the class . This evidently completes the proof of Theorem 2.1.

Setting in Theorem 2.1, we have the following result.

Corollary 2.2. Let () and , be complex numbers with and and let be such that If for all ,  , with then the integral operator, is in the class .

Setting for all in Theorem 2.1, we have the following result.

Corollary 2.3. Let () and , be complex numbers with and and let be such that If for all , satisfy the conditions: and , with then the integral operator is in the class .

Setting in Theorem 2.1, we have the following result.

Corollary 2.4. Let and , , be complex numbers with and and let be such that If the function satisfies the conditions: and , with then the integral operator, is in the class .

3. Univalence Conditions for

Theorem 3.1. Let () and , , be complex numbers, , and and let be such that If for all , satisfy the condition: and , with then the integral operator defined by (1.6) is in the class .

Proof. We begin by observing that the integral operator defined by (1.6) can be rewritten as follows: where for all .
Defining the function by we take the same steps as in the proof of Theorem 2.1, and we have Thus, we have Furthermore, from the hypothesis (3.4) of Theorem 3.1, we have By applying the General Schwarz Lemma, we obtain So, we obtain
Finally, by applying Theorem 1.1, we conclude that the integral operator defined by (1.6) is in the class . This evidently completes the proof of Theorem 3.1.

Setting in Theorem 3.1, we have

Corollary 3.2. Let () and , be complex numbers, , and and let be such that If for all , satisfy the condition: and , with then the integral operator, is in the class .

Setting for all in Theorem 3.1, we have the following result.

Corollary 3.3. Let () and , be complex numbers, , and and let be such that If for all , satisfy the condition: and , with then the integral operator, is in the class .

Setting in Theorem 3.1, we have the following result.

Corollary 3.4. Let and , , be complex numbers, , and and let be such that If one has that the function satisfies the condition: and , with then the integral operator, is in the class .
