Abstract
We determine the condition on ,

1. Introduction
Let be a positive integer, and let
denote the class of function

that are analytic in the unit disk . For
, let

denote the class of starlike function of order and
.
Let and
be analytic in
; then we say that the function
is subordinate to
in
, if there exists an analytic function
in
such that
, and
, denoted that
or
. If
is univalent in
, then the subordination is equivalent to
and
[1].
Let

Singh [2] proved that if
. More recently, Fournier [3, 4] proved that

is the order of starlikeness of . Now, we define

Clearly, . In 1998, Obradović [5] proved that

if and
. Recently, Obradović and Owa [6] proved that

if and

implies and extend some results of Obradović and Owa [5, 6]. Also, we obtain some new results on starlikeness criterions.
2. Main Results
For our results we need the following lemma.
Lemma 2.1 (see [6]).
Let be analytic in

Proof.
If , it is easy to see the result is true. Now, assume
. Let

If there exists , such that
, then we will show that

for . Note that
for
; it is sufficient to show that

for . Let
,
; then, the left-hand side of (2.11) is

Suppose that and note that
; then inequality (2.11) is equivalent to

for all and
. Now, if we define

then we have

where

Since

the denominator of is positive. Further, let

We have

If

we get

where

Note that

We obtain

If

we have

Hence we obtain

If

we have . It follows that

Therefore we obtain for

or
. It follows that

If , we have

by (2.13) and (2.21) for and by (2.23) for

is an continuous increasing function for
, and

Then there exists a unique , such that

Thus, is the global minimum point of

. It follows from (2.33) that

or

By a simple calculation, we may obtain

for . It follows from (2.30) and (2.36) that that inequality (2.13) holds. This shows that inequality (2.10) holds, which contradicts with (2.7). Hence we must have

Theorem 2.3.

By Lemma 2.1, we obtain

By Theorem 2.2, we get

Putting in Theorem 2.3, we obtain the above corollary.
Remark 2.6.
Our results extend the results given by Obradović [5], and Obradović and Owa [6].
Theorem 2.7.
Let ,

, and let

If satisfies

then .
Proof.
Let

Then from (2.52) and (2.53) we obtain

Hence, by using Theorem 1 given by Hallenbeck and Ruscheweyh [7], we have that
