Abstract

Let the functions be analytic and let be analytic univalent in the unit disk. Using the methods of differential subordination and superordination, sufficient conditions involving the Schwarzian derivative of a normalized analytic function are obtained so that either or . As applications, sufficient conditions are determined relating the Schwarzian derivative to the starlikeness or convexity of .
