Abstract
In the present paper we investigate a class of harmonic mappings for which the second dilatation is a close-to-convex function of complex order b, \(b\in\mathbb{C} / \{ 0 \}\) (Lashin in Indian J. Pure Appl. Math. 34(7):1101-1108, 2003).
1 Introduction
A planar harmonic mapping in the open unit disc \(\mathbb{D}= \{z | |z|<1\}\) is a complex-valued harmonic function f which maps \(\mathbb{D}\) onto some planar domain \(f(\mathbb{D})\). Since \(\mathbb{D}\) is a simply connected domain, the mapping f has a canonical decomposition \(f=h(z)+ \overline{g(z)}\), where \(h(z)\) and \(g(z)\) are analytic in \(\mathbb{D}\) and have the following power series expansions:
where \(a_{n}, b_{n} \in\mathbb{C}\), \(n=0,1,2,\ldots\) . As usual, we call \(h(z)\) analytic part and \(g(z)\) co-analytic part of f, respectively. An elegant and complete account of the theory of planar harmonic mappings is given in Duren’s monograph [1].
Lewy [2] proved in 1936 that the harmonic mapping f is locally univalent in \(\mathbb{D}\) if and only if its Jacobian \(J_{f} = |h'(z)|^{2} - |g'(z)|^{2}\) is different from zero in \(\mathbb{D}\). In view of this result, locally univalent harmonic mappings in the open unit disc are either sense-reversing if \(|g'(z)| > |h'(z)|\) or sense-preserving if \(|g'(z)| < |h'(z)|\) in \(\mathbb{D}\). Throughout this paper, we restrict ourselves to the study of sense-preserving harmonic mappings. We also note that \(f=h(z)+ \overline{g(z)}\) is sense-preserving in \(\mathbb{D}\) if and only if \(h'(z)\) does not vanish in the unit disc \(\mathbb{D}\), and the second dilatation \(w(z) = g'(z) / h'(z)\) has the property \(|w(z)|<1\) in \(\mathbb{D}\).
The class of all sense-preserving harmonic mappings in the open unit disc \(\mathbb{D}\) with \(a_{0}=b_{0}=0\) and \(a_{1}=1\) is denoted by \(\mathcal {S}_{\mathcal{H}}\). Thus \(\mathcal{S}_{\mathcal{H}}\) contains the standard class \(\mathcal{S}\) of analytic univalent functions.
The family of all mappings \(f \in\mathcal{S}_{\mathcal{H}}\) with the additional property that \(g'(0)=0\), i.e., \(b_{1}=0\), is denoted by \(\mathcal{S}_{\mathcal{H}}^{0}\). Thus it is clear that \(\mathcal{S} \subset\mathcal{S}_{\mathcal{H}}^{0} \subset\mathcal{S}_{\mathcal {H}}\) [1]. Let Ω be the family of functions \(\phi(z)\) regular in the open unit disc \(\mathbb{D}\) and satisfying the conditions \(\phi(0)=0\), \(|\phi(z)|<1\) for all \(z\in\mathbb{D}\). We denote by \(\mathcal{P}\) the family of functions \(p(z)=1+p_{1} z+p_{2}z^{2}+\cdots\) regular in \(\mathbb{D}\) such that \(p(z)\) in \(\mathcal{P}\) if and only if
for some \(\phi(z)\in\Omega\) and every \(z\in\mathbb{D}\).
Let \(s_{1}(z)=z+c_{2}z^{2}+c_{3}z^{3}+\cdots\) and \(s_{2}(z)=z+d_{2}z^{2}+d_{3}z^{3}+\cdots\) be analytic functions in \(\mathbb{D}\). If there exists a function \(\phi(z)\in\Omega\) such that \(s_{1}(z)=s_{2}(\phi(z))\) for every \(z\in\mathbb{D}\), then we say that \(s_{1}(z)\) is subordinate to \(s_{2}(z)\) and we write \(s_{1}\prec s_{2}\). We also note that if \(s_{1}\prec s_{2}\), then \(s_{1}(\mathbb{D})\subset s_{2}(\mathbb{D})\) [3, 4].
Next, let \(\mathcal{A}\) be the class of functions \(s(z)=z+e_{2}z^{2}+\cdots\) which are analytic in \(\mathbb{D}\). A function \(s(z)\) in \(\mathcal{A}\) is said to be a convex function of complex order b, \(b\in\mathbb{C} / \{ 0 \}\), that is, \(s(z) \in\mathcal {C}(b)\) if and only if \(s'(z) \neq0\), and
We denote by \(\mathcal{S}^{*}(1 - b)\) the class of \(\mathcal{A}\) consisting of functions which are starlike of complex order b, that is,
Moreover, let \(s(z)\) be an element of \(\mathcal{A}\), then \(s(z)\) is said to be close-to-convex of complex order b, \(b\in\mathbb{C} / \{ 0 \}\) if and only if there exists a function \(\varphi(z)\in\mathcal {C}(b)\) satisfying the condition
The class of such functions is denoted by \(\mathcal{CC}(b)\).
The classes \(\mathcal{C}(b)\) and \(\mathcal{S}^{*}(1 - b)\) were introduced and studied by Nasr and Aouf [5, 6], and the class \(\mathcal{CC}(b)\) was introduced by Lashin [7].
Remark 1.1
-
(i)
For \(b=1\) we obtain \(\mathcal{S}^{*}(0) = \mathcal{S}^{*}\), \(\mathcal{C}(1)=\mathcal{C}\), and \(\mathcal{CC}(1)=\mathcal{CC}\) are well-known classes of starlike, convex and close-to-convex functions, respectively [6].
-
(ii)
\(\mathcal{S}^{*}(1 - (1-\alpha)) = \mathcal{S}^{*}(\alpha )\), \(\mathcal{C}(1-\alpha)\), and \(\mathcal{CC}(1-\alpha)\), \(0 \leq \alpha< 1\), are the classes of starlike, convex and close-to-convex functions of order α, respectively [6].
-
(iii)
If we take \(b=e^{-i\lambda} \cos\lambda\), \(|\lambda| <\pi/2\), we obtain the following classes: λ-spirallike, analytic functions for which \(zf'(z)\) is λ-spirallike and λ-spirallike and λ-spiral close-to-convex functions [6].
-
(iv)
\(\mathcal{S}^{*}(1 - (1-\alpha)e^{-i\lambda} \cos\lambda )\), \(\mathcal{C}^{*}((1-\alpha)e^{-i\lambda} \cos\lambda)\), \(\mathcal{CC}^{*}((1-\alpha)e^{-i\lambda} \cos\lambda)\), \(0 \leq \alpha< 1\), \(|\lambda|<\pi/2\), are the classes of λ-spirallike functions of order α, analytic functions for which \(zf'(z)\) is λ-spirallike of order α and λ-spiral close-to-convex functions of order α, respectively [6].
Finally, the aim of this investigation is to obtain some properties of the class of harmonic functions defined by
for all z in \(\mathbb{D}\).
For the purpose of this paper, we need the following lemma and theorem.
Lemma 1.2
[8]
Let \(\phi(z)\) be regular in the unit disc \(\mathbb{D}\) with \(\phi(0)=0\). If the maximum value of \(|\phi(z)|\) on the circle \(|z|=r<1\) is attained at point \(z_{1}\), then we have \(z_{1} \phi'(z_{1}) = k \phi(z_{1})\) for some \(k \geq1\).
Theorem 1.3
[9]
If \(s(z) \in\mathcal{C}(b)\), then
for some \(\phi(z)\in\Omega\) and every z in \(\mathbb{D}\), and
for every \(z\in\mathbb{D}\). A member of \(\mathcal{S}^{*}(p,n)\) is called p-valent starlike function in the unit disc \(\mathbb{D}\).
Finally, a planar harmonic mapping in the open unit disc \(\mathbb{D}\) is a complex-valued harmonic function f, which maps \(\mathbb{D}\) onto some planar domain \(f(\mathbb{D})\). Since \(\mathbb{D}\) is a simply connected domain, the mapping f has a canonical decomposition \(f= h+ \overline{g}\), where \(h(z)\) and \(g(z)\) are analytic in \(\mathbb {D}\) and have the following power series expansion:
and
where \(|b_{np}|<1\), \(p\geq1\) and \(n\geq1\) are integers, \(a_{np+m}, b_{np+m} \in\mathbb{C}\) and every \(z\in\mathbb{D}\). As usual, we call \(h(z)\) the analytic part and \(g(z)\) the co-analytic part of f, respectively, and let the class of such harmonic mappings be denoted by \(\mathcal{SH}(p, n)\). Lewy [2] proved in 1936 that the harmonic mapping f is locally univalent in \(\mathbb{D}\) if and only if its Jacobian \(J_{f} = |h'(z)|^{2} - |g'(z)|^{2}\) is strictly positive in \(\mathbb{D}\). In view of this result, locally univalent harmonic mappings in the open unit disc are either sense-reversing if \(|g'(z)| > |h'(z)|\) or sense-preserving if \(|g'(z)| < |h'(z)|\) in \(\mathbb{D}\). Throughout this paper, we restrict ourselves to the study of sense-preserving harmonic mappings. We also note that an elegant and complete treatment theory of the harmonic mapping is given in Duren’s monograph [1].
The main aim of this paper is to investigate some properties of the following class:
and for this aim we need the following lemma.
Lemma 1.4
[1]
Let \(w(z)=a_{n}z^{n} + a_{n+1}z^{n+1} + a_{n+1}z^{n+2} + \cdots\) (\(a_{n}\neq0\), \(n\geq1\)) be analytic in \(\mathbb{D}\). If the maximum value of \(|w(z)|\) on the circle \(|z|=r<1\) is attained at \(z=z_{0}\), then we have \(z_{0}w'(z_{0})=p w(z_{0})\), where \(p\geq n\) and every \(z\in\mathbb{D}\).
2 Main results
Lemma 2.1
Let \(h(z)\) be an element of \(\mathcal {C}(b)\), then
and
where
and
These inequalities are sharp because the extremal function is \(h(z) = \frac{1}{(1-z)^{b}}\) with \(z = \frac{r ( r - \frac{\overline{ b}}{b} )^{1/2}}{1 - r (\frac{\overline{b}}{b} )^{1/2}}\).
Proof
Using Theorem 1.3, the definition of class \(\mathcal{C}(b)\) and the definition of the subordination principle, we obtain
or
and similarly
or
Using (2.5) and (2.6), we get (2.1) and (2.2), respectively. □
Theorem 2.2
Let \(f=h(z)+\overline{g(z)}\) be an element of \(\mathcal{S}_{\mathcal{HCC}(b)}\), then
Proof
Since \(f=h(z)+\overline{g(z)}\) is an element of \(\mathcal{S}_{\mathcal{HCC}(b)}\), then we have
so
for some \(\phi(z)\in\Omega\) and every z in \(\mathbb{D}\). Now, we define the function \(\phi(z)\) by
then \(\phi(z)\) is analytic in \(\mathbb{D}\) and \(\frac {g(z)}{h(z)}|_{z=0} = b_{1} = b_{1} \frac{1+\phi(0)}{1-\phi (0)}\), then \(\phi(0)=0\) and
Now it is easy to realize that the subordination \(\frac {g'(z)}{h'(z)}\prec b_{1} \frac{1+(2b-1)z}{1-z}\) is equivalent to \(|\phi (z)|<1\) for all \(z\in\mathbb{D}\). Indeed, assume to the contrary, that there exists \(z_{1}\in\mathbb{D}\) such that \(|\phi(z_{1})| = 1\). Then by Jack’s lemma (Lemma 1.4), \(z_{1} \phi'(z_{1}) = k\phi (z_{1})\), \(k\geq1\), for such \(z_{1} \in\mathbb{D}\), we have
because \(|\phi(z_{1})|=1\) and \(k\geq1\). But this is a contradiction to the condition \(\frac{g'(z)}{h'(z)}\prec b_{1}\frac{1+(2b-1)z}{1-z}\), and so assumption is wrong, i.e., \(|\phi(z)|<1\) for all \(z\in\mathbb{D}\). □
Corollary 2.3
Let \(f=h(z)+\overline{g(z)}\) be an element of \(\mathcal{S}_{\mathcal{HCC}(b)}\), then
and
for all \(|z|=r<1\), where \(\mathcal{F}_{1}\) and \(\mathcal{F}_{2}\) are defined by (2.3) and (2.4), respectively.
Proof
Since \(f=h(z)+\overline{g(z)} \in\mathcal {S}_{\mathcal{HCC}(b)}\), we have
or
then
and using Theorem 2.2 we obtain
or
for all \(|z|=r<1\). Considering Lemma 2.1, (2.10) and (2.11) together, we obtain (2.8) and (2.9). □
Lemma 2.4
If \(f=h(z)+ \overline{g(z)} \in\mathcal {S}_{\mathcal{HCC}(b)}\), then
and
for all \(|z|=r<1\).
Proof
Since \(f=h(z)+ \overline{g(z)} \in\mathcal {S}_{\mathcal{HCC}(b)}\), it follows that
So, the function
satisfies the conditions of Schwarz lemma. Therefore, we have
On the other hand, the linear transformation \(\frac{b_{1}+z}{1+\overline {b}_{1}z}\) maps \(|z|=r\) onto the disc with the center \(C(r) = ( \frac{(1-r^{2}) \operatorname{Re}b_{1}}{1-|b_{1}|^{2}r^{2}}, \frac {(1-r^{2}) \operatorname{Im}b_{1}}{1-|b_{1}|^{2}r^{2}} )\) and the radius \(\rho (r)=\frac{(1-|b_{1}|^{2})r}{1-|b_{1}|r^{2}}\). Then we have (2.12), which gives (2.13), (2.14) and (2.15). □
Corollary 2.5
Let \(f(z)\) be an element of \(\mathcal {S}_{\mathcal{HCC}(b)}\), then
and
for all \(|z|=r<1\), where \(\mathcal{F}_{2}\) is defined by (2.4).
Proof
Since
and
thus using Lemma 2.1 and Lemma 2.4 in the last two inequalities we obtain the desired result. □
Theorem 2.6
Let \(f(z)\) be an element of \(\mathcal {S}_{\mathcal{HCC}(b)}\), then
Proof
Using Theorem 2.2, we obtain the following relation:
or
Equality (2.16) can be written in the following form:
Since the last equality has the form \(f_{1}(z) = f_{2}(z) \phi(z)\) with \(|\phi(z)|<1\), it follows that
for each r (\(0< r<1\)). Expressing (2.18) in terms of the coefficients in (2.17), we obtain the inequality
where \(d_{k}= (b_{k}-b_{1}a_{k}) - (b_{k}+b_{1}(2b-1)a_{k}) \phi(z)\). By letting \(r\rightarrow1^{-}\) in (2.19) we obtain the desired result. The proof of this method is due to Clunie [10]. □
