Abstract
In this article, we study the Hankel determinant problem of a subclass of analytic functions introduced recently by Arif et al.
2010 Mathematics Subject Classification: 30C45; 30C10.
1 Introduction
Let be the class of analytic function satisfying the condition f (0) = 0, f'(0) - 1 = 0 in the open unit disc . By , , , and we means the well-known subclasses of which consist of univalent, starlike, convex, and close-to-convex functions, respectively.
Let , denote the class of functions f1(z) analytic and locally univalent in â„°, f1(0) = 0, and satisfying
This class was introduced and studied in details by Moulis [1]. For λ = 0, we obtain the class of analytic functions with bounded boundary rotations of order σ studied by Padmanabhan et al. [2] and when σ = 0 and λ = 0, we get the class discussed by Paatero [3], see also [4–8]. Also it can easily be shown that if and only if there exists such that
We now consider a class of analytic functions defined by Arif et al. [9] as follows:
Definition 1.1. Let in E. Then , if for k ≥ 2, 0 ≤ β ≤ 1, 0 ≤ γ ≤ 1, λ is real with there exists a function , 0 ≤ σ < 1, such that
By giving specific values to the parameters k, σ, λ, β, and γ in , we obtain many important subclasses studied by various authors in earlier articles, see [10–16].
Using (1.1) and (1.2), we have
where and p(z) belongs to the class of functions whose real part is positive.
Throughout in this article, we shall assume, unless otherwise stated, that k ≥ 2, 0 ≤ β ≤ 1, 0 < γ ≤ 1, λ is real with , 0 ≤ σ < 1.
In [17], the q th Hankel determinant , q ≥ 1, n ≥ 1, for a function is stated by Noonan and Thomas as:
Definition 1.2. Let . Then the q th Hankel determinant of f (z) is defined for q ≥ 1, n ≥ 1 by
The Hankel determinant plays an important role, for instance, in the study of the singularities by Hadamard, see [[18], p. 329], Edrei [19] and in the study of power series with integral coefficients by Polya [[20], p. 323], Cantor [21], and many others.
In this article, we shall determine the rate of growth of the Hankel determinant for with 0 < β < 2, as n → ∞. This determinant has been considered by several authors. That is, Noor [22] determined the rate of growth of as n → ∞ for a function f(z) belongs to the class . Pommerenke in [23] studied the Hankel determinant for starlike functions. The Hankel determinant problem for other interesting classes of analytic functions were discussed by Noor [11, 12, 24].
Lemma 1.1. Let . Let the q th Hankel determinant of f (z) for q ≥ 1, n ≥ 1 be defined by (1.4). Then, writting Δ j (n) = Δ j (n, z1, f(z)), we have
where with Δ0(n) = a n , we define for j ≥ 1,
Lemma 1.2. With and v ≥ 0 any integer,
Lemmas 1.1 and 1.2 are due to Noonan and Thomas [17].
Lemma 1.3. Let h1(z) be starlike univalent function in â„°. Then
-
(i)
there exists a z1 with |z1| = r such that for all z, |z| = r
see [25]
(ii)
see[26].
2 Hankel determinant problem
Theorem 2.1. Let with 0 < β < 2 and let the q th Hankel determinant of f(z) be defined as in (1.4). Then
where and O(1) is a constant depending on k, λ, β, σ, γ, and j only.
Proof. It is well known [1] that for starlike functions h1(z) and h2(z)
Using (2.1) in (1.3), we have
where .
Let F (z) = zf'(z). Then for j ≥ 1, z1 any non-zero complex and z = reiθ, consider Δ j (n, z1, F(z)) as defined by (1.5). Then
and by using (2.2), we have
Since
therefore (2.3) becomes
Now using Lemma 1.3, we have
The well-known Holder's inequality will give us
Also, it is known [15] that, for , z ∈ E,
Using (2.5) in (2.4), we obtain
Therefore, we can write
Now using a subordination result for starlike functions, we have
where c2 is a constant depending on k, λ, β, σ, γ, j only and γ(k + 2) (1 - σ) cos2 λ - 4j > 2 - β.
Applying Lemma 1.2 and putting , we have for ,
where O(1) is a constant depending on k, λ, β, σ, γ, and j only.
We now estimate the rate of growth of .
For q = 1, and
For q ≥ 2, we use similar argument due to Noonan and Thomas [17] together with Lemma 1.1 to have
and O(1) depends only on k, λ, β, σ, γ, and j.
For choosing different values of λ, β, σ, and γ in Theorem 2.1, we obtain the following results discussed by Noor [10, 11] and Noor et al. [14].
Corollary 2.1. For λ = 0, β = 1, σ = 0, , where the class was introduced by Noor et al. [14] and
where O(1) is a constant depending only on k and γ.
Corollary 2.2. For and
where O(1) is a constant depends on k, σ, and β only.
