Abstract
We introduce a class of multivalent -uniformly functions with varying arguments, give some properties of functions in this class, and obtain sharp results including coefficient estimates and distortion theorems. Finally, we give the extreme points for this class.
1. Introduction
Let denote the class of functions of the following form: which are analytic and -valent in the open unit disc . A function is said to be -valent starlike of order if it satisfies the following inequality: We denote by the class of all -valent starlike functions of order . Also a function is said to be -valent convex of order , if it satisfies the following inequality: We denote by the class of all -valently convex functions of order . The classes and were introduced by Patil and Thakare [1] and Owa [2]. Further from (2) and (3), we can see that Also for a function , the differential operator was defined by Kamali and Orhan [3], Orhan and Kiziltunç [4], and Aouf and Mostafa [5] as follows: and (in general) We note that putting in (6), we have the operator which was introduced by Sălăgean [6].
In [7], Eker and Şeker introduced the class as follows.
Definition 1. For , and , let be the class of functions which satisfy
Specializing the parameters , and we obtain the following subclasses studied by various authors:(i) and (see Khairnar and More [8]); (ii) and (see Patil and Thakare [1] and Owa [2]); (iii) (see Eker and Owa [9]);(iv) (see Eker and Owa [10]); (v) (see Rosy and Murugusundaramoorthy [11] and Aouf [12]); (vi) and (see Shams et al. [13] and Bharati et al. [14]).
Also we note that
Silverman [15] defined the class of univalent functions for which prescribed in such a way that is univalent if and only if is starlike. In this paper, we introduce the subclass of valent functions with varying arguments as follows.
Definition 2. A function of the form (1) is said to be in the class if and for all . If furthermore there exists a real number such that for all , then is said to be in the class . The union of taken over all possible sequences and all possible real numbers is denoted by .
Let denote the subclass of consisting of functions .
We note that , which was introduced and studied by Silverman [15].
Specializing the parameters , and , we obtain the following classes with varying arguments which are associated to the subclasses mentioned before:(i) and ;(ii) and ;(iii);
(iv);
(v);
(vi) and ;(vii).
In this paper, we obtain coefficient bounds for functions in the class , further we obtain distortion theorems and the extreme points for functions in this class.
2. Coefficient Estimates
Unless otherwise mentioned, we assume in the reminder of this paper that, and .
We will need the following lemma.
Lemma 3. The sufficient condition for given by (1) to be in the class is that
Proof. It suffices to show that inequality (7) holds true. Then it suffices to show that We have or, equivalently, then we have Letting through real values, then we have The last expression is bounded above by if And hence the proof of Lemma 3 is completed.
Remark 4. (i) The result obtained from Lemma 3 corrects the result obtained by Eker and Şeker [7, Theorem 1].
(ii) Putting in Lemma 3, we correct the result obtained by Eker and Owa [9, Theorem 2.1].
Corollary 5. The sufficient condition for given by (1) to be in the class , which is defined by (8) is that
Theorem 6. Let of the form (1), then if and only if
Proof. In view of Lemma 3, we need only to show that function satisfies the coefficient inequality (17). If , then from (7), we have
then we have
or
Since , lies in the class for some sequence and a real number such that
Set in (20), we get
Letting , then we have the inequality (17).
Hence the proof of Theorem 6 is completed.
Corollary 7. If , then The result is sharp for the function given by
3. Distortion Theorems
Theorem 8. Let the function defined by (1) be in the class . Then where The result is sharp.
Proof. We employ the same technique as used by Silverman [15]. In view of Theorem 6, since
is an increasing function of , we have
that is
Thus, we have
Similarly, we get
This completes the proof of Theorem 8. Finally the result is sharp for the following function:
at .
Corollary 9. Under the hypotheses of Theorem 8, is included in a disc with center at the origin and radius given by
Theorem 10. Let the function defined by (1) be in the class . Then where is defined by (26). Also the result of Theorem 10 is sharp.
Proof. Similarly for defined by (27) it is clear that is an increasing function of , in view of Theorem 6, we have that is Thus, we have Similarly, Finally, we can see that the assertions of Theorem 10 are sharp for the function defined by (32). This completes the proof of Theorem 10.
Corollary 11. Under the hypotheses of Theorem 10, is included in a disc with center at the origin and radius given by
4. Extreme Points
Theorem 12. Let the function defined by (1) be in the class , with , where . Define Then if and only if can be expressed in the form , where and .
Proof. If with and , then
Hence, .
Conversely, let the function defined by (1) be in the class . Define
From Theorem 6, and so . Since , then
This completes the proof of Theorem 12.
Remark 13. (i) Putting and in all the above results, we obtain the corresponding results obtained by Silverman [15].
(ii) Putting (i) and and (ii) and in all the above results, we obtain the corresponding results obtained by Aouf et al. [16].
(iii) Putting in all the above results, we obtain the corresponding results of the classes , defined by (8).
