On an extreme point conjecture for concave functions

Let CO(A), A ∈ (1; 2], denote the family of concave univalent functions in the unit disk ⅅ with opening angle at infinity bounded by πA. We prove a weak form of a conjecture on the extreme points of clco CO(A) from the paper in Indian J. Math. 50, 339–349 (2008).     

Characterization and the pre-Schwarzian norm estimate for concave univalent functions

Let Co(α) denote the class of concave univalent functions in the unit disk ${\mathbb{D}}$ . Each function ${f\in Co(\alpha)}$ maps the unit disk ${\mathbb{D}}$ onto the complement of an unbounded convex set. In this paper we find the exact disk of variability for the functional ${(1-|z|^2)\left ( f^{\prime\prime}(z)/f^{\prime}(z)\right), f\in Co(\alpha)}$ . In particular, this gives sharp upper and lower estimates for the pre-Schwarzian norm of concave univalent functions. Next we obtain the set of variability of the functional ${(1-|z|^2)\left(f^{\prime\prime}(z)/f^{\prime}(z)\right), f\in Co(\alpha)}$ whenever f′′(0) is fixed. We also give a characterization for concave functions in terms of Hadamard convolution. In addition to sharp coefficient inequalities, we prove that functions in Co(α) belong to the H ^p space for p < 1/α.     

Concave functions,blaschke products,and polygonal mappings

We consider the class Co(p) of all conformal maps of the unit disk onto the exterior of a bounded convex set. We prove that the triangle mappings, i.e., the functions that map the unit disk onto the exterior of a triangle, are among the extreme points of the closed convex hull of Co(p). Moreover, we prove a conjecture on the closed convex hull of Co(p) for all p ∈ (0, 1) which had partially been proved by the authors for some values of p ∈ (0, 1).     

Schwarz—Pick Inequalities for Derivatives of Arbitrary Order

   Abstract. Let Ω and Π be two simply connected domains in the complex plane C which are not equal to the whole plane C and let λ _Ω and λ _Π denote the densities of the Poincare metric in Ω and Π , respectively. For f: Ω → Π analytic in Ω , inequalities of the type

Coefficient characterizations and sections for some univalent functions

Let (α) denote the class of locally univalent normalized analytic functions f in the unit disk |z| < 1 satisfying the condition $Re\left( {1 + \frac{{zf''(z)}} {{f'(z)}}} \right) < 1 + \frac{\alpha } {2}for|z| < 1 $ and for some 0 < α ≤ 1. We firstly prove sharp coefficient bounds for the moduli of the Taylor coefficients a _n of f ∈ (α). Secondly, we determine the sharp bound for the Fekete-Szegö functional for functions in (α) with complex parameter λ. Thirdly, we present a convolution characterization for functions f belonging to (α) and as a consequence we obtain a number of sufficient coefficient conditions for f to belong to (α). Finally, we discuss the close-to-convexity and starlikeness of partial sums of f ∈ (α). In particular, each partial sum s _n (z) of f ∈ (1) is starlike in the disk |z| ≤ 1/2 for n ≥ 11. Moreover, for f ∈ (1), we also have Re(s′ _n (z)) > 0 in |z| ≤ 1/2 for n ≥ 11.
