On power deformations of univalent functions

For an analytic function f (z) on the unit disk |z| < 1 with f (0) = f′(0) − 1 = 0 and f (z) ≠ 0, 0 < |z| < 1, we consider the power deformation f _c (z) = z(f (z)/z) ^c for a complex number c. We determine those values c for which the operator maps a specified class of univalent functions into the class of univalent functions. A little surprisingly, we will see that the set is described by the variability region of the quantity zf′(z)/ f (z), |z| < 1, for most of the classes that we consider in the present paper. As an unexpected by-product, we show boundedness of strongly spirallike functions.     

On the zeros of univalent functions with univalent derivatives

Summary A family, E, consisting of normalised univalent functions with univalent derivatives is studied with regard to the zeros of these functions. Entrata in Redazione il 29 marzo 1978.     

On successive coefficients of odd univalent functions

The relative growth of successive coefficients of odd univalent functions is investigated. We prove that a conjecture of Hayman is true.

     

On a variational method for univalent functions

In the paper, the construction of a variational method for univalent functions is suggested; this construction uses the factorization theorem. As a consequence, an analog of the Goluzin variational formula is obtained.     

On some length problems for univalent functions

Let be the class of functions which are analytic in the unit disk . Let C(r) be the closed curve that is the image of the circle |z|=r < 1 under the mapping w = f(z), L(r) the length of C(r), and let A(r) be the area enclosed by the curve C(r). In 1968 D. K. Thomas shown that if , f is starlike with respect to the origin, and for 0≤r < 1, A(r) < A, an absolute constant, then Later, in 1969 Nunokawa has shown that if f is convex univalent, then This paper is devoted to obtaining a related correspondence between f(z) and L(r) for the case when f is univalent.

On meromorphic univalent functions omitting a disc

The class Σ_b is defined to consist of meromorphic univalent functionsH omitting a disc with the radiusb:H(z)=z+ Σ ₀ ^∞ A _n z ⁻ⁿ ,z>1,H(b)>b ∈ (0, 1). By aid of FitzGerald inequalities the inverse coefficients of odd Σ_b-functions are maximized. The result extends the corresponding estimation, due to Netanyahu and Schober, fromb=0 to the whole interval (0, 1). The author wishes to express her gratitude to Professor O. Tammi for valuable discussions connected with the problem. This work was supported by a grant from the Finnish Ministry of Education.     

Series of univalent functions

We are considering a class S of functions F(z), F(0) = 0, F′(0) = 1 that are univalent and regular in the circle ¦z¦ < 1, and its subclasses s _h ^* and K of starlike functions of order h and of convex functions respectively. Among others, we establish the following results: If F(z)εs and 0 < α < 1, then IfF (z) ε s (0 < a < 1) and $$\begin{gathered} 1 + \operatorname{Re} {{z_1 F^n \left( {z_1 } \right)} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{z_1 F^n \left( {z_1 } \right)} {F'\left( {z_1 } \right)}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {F'\left( {z_1 } \right)}} = \operatorname{Re} {{\alpha z_1 F''\left( {\alpha z_1 } \right)} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{\alpha z_1 F''\left( {\alpha z_1 } \right)} {F'\left( {\alpha z_1 } \right)}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {F'\left( {\alpha z_1 } \right)}} \hfill \\ \left( {2 - \sqrt 3< \left| {z_1 } \right| = r< 1} \right) \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ then we obtain the domain of values of the point αz₁.     

On support points for some families of univalent functions

Given a closed subset of the familyS* (α) of functions starlike of order α, a continuous Fréchet differentiable functional,J, is constructed with this collection as the solution set to the extremal problem ReJ(f) overS* (α). The support points ofS* (α) is completely characterized and shown to coincide with the extreme points of its convex hulls. Given any finite collection of support points ofS* (α), a continuous linear functional,J, is constructed with this collection as the solution set to the extremal problem ReJ(f) overS* (α).
