Region of variability of two subclasses of univalent functions

Let F₁ (F₂ respectively) denote the class of analytic functions f in the unit disk |z|<1 with f(0)=0=f^′(0)−1 satisfying the condition RePf(z)<3/2 (RePf(z)>−1/2 respectively) in |z|<1, where Pf(z)=1+zf^″(z)/f^′(z). For any fixed z₀ in the unit disk and λ∈[0,1), we shall determine the region of variability for logf^′(z₀) when f ranges over the class and , respectively.     

Some properties of two subclasses of k-fold symmetric functions associated with Srivastava-Attiya operator

In the present paper, by using the Srivastava-Attiya operator, we define two new subclasses of k-fold symmetric analytic functions. Some interesting properties of these subclasses such as integral representations, extreme points, close convex hulls and subordinations are obtained, which generalize and refine some previous results.

Convolutions of meromorphic multivalent functions with respect to n-ply points and symmetric conjugate points

It is well-known that the classes of starlike, convex and close-to-convex univalent functions are closed under convolution with convex functions. In this paper, closure properties under convolution of general classes of meromorphic p-valent functions that are either starlike, convex or close-to-convex with respect to n-ply symmetric, conjugate and symmetric conjugate points are investigated.

The integral representations for functions belonging to these classes are provided, the convolution conditions, growth theorems, distortion theorems and covering theorems for these classes are also provided. The results obtained generalize some known results, and some other new results are obtained.     

Coefficient bounds for some families of starlike and convex functions of complex order

In the present work, the authors determine coefficient bounds for functions in certain subclasses of starlike and convex functions of complex order, which are introduced here by means of a family of nonhomogeneous Cauchy–Euler differential equations. Several corollaries and consequences of the main results are also considered.     

A recursion formula for k-Schur functions

The Bernstein operators allow one to build recursively the Schur functions. We present a recursion formula for k-Schur functions at t=1 based on combinatorial operators that generalize the Bernstein operators. The recursion leads immediately to a combinatorial interpretation for the expansion coefficients of k-Schur functions at t=1 in terms of homogeneous symmetric functions.     

Some subclasses of multivalent functions involving a certain linear operator

The authors investigate various inclusion and other properties of several subclasses of the class Ap of normalized p-valent analytic functions in the open unit disk, which are defined here by means of a certain linear operator. Problems involving generalized neighborhoods of analytic functions in the class Ap are investigated. Finally, some applications of fractional calculus operators are considered.     

Coefficient bounds for a subclass of starlike functions of complex order

On removable sets for convex functions

In the present article we provide a sufficient condition for a closed set F∈R^d$F\in {\mathbb{R}}^d$ to have the following property which we call c  -removability: Whenever a continuous function f:R^d→R$f:{\mathbb{R}}^d\to \mathbb{R}$ is locally convex on the complement of F  , it is convex on the whole R^d${\mathbb{R}}^d$. We also prove that no generalized rectangle of positive Lebesgue measure in R²${\mathbb{R}}^2$ is c-removable. Our results also answer the following question asked in an article by Jacek Tabor and Józef Tabor (2010) [5]: Assume the closed set F⊂R^d$F\subset {\mathbb{R}}^d$ is such that any locally convex function defined on R^d?F${\mathbb{R}}^d?F$ has a unique convex extension on R^d${\mathbb{R}}^d$. Is F   necessarily intervally thin (a notion of smallness of sets defined by their “essential transparency” in every direction)? We prove the answer is negative by finding a counterexample in R²${\mathbb{R}}^2$.     

On classes of analytic functions defined by convolution with incomplete beta functions

Carlson and Shaffer [SIAM J. Math. Anal. 15 (1984) 737-745] defined a convolution operator L(a,c) on the class A of analytic functions involving an incomplete beta function ?(a,c;z) as L(a,c)f=?(a,c)?f. We use this operator to introduce certain classes of analytic functions in the unit disk and study their properties including some inclusion results, coefficient and radius problems. It is shown that these classes are closed under convolution with convex functions.     

Inclusion and argument properties for certain subclasses of meromorphic functions associated with a family of multiplier transformations

Making use of a multiplier transformation, which is defined here by means of the Hadamard product (or convolution), the authors introduce some new subclasses of meromorphic functions and investigate their inclusion relationships and argument properties. Some integral-preserving properties in a given sector are also considered.     

Subclasses of bi-univalent functions defined by convolution
