• Special Classes of Univalent Functions with Missing Coefficients and Integral Transforms
S. Ponnusamy and P. Sahoo
Abstract. Let An be the class of all analytic functions f of the form
f(z)=z + ∑k=n + 1∞akzk, z∈Δ,
where n∈N is fixed. For λ>0 and α<1, define
Un(λ)={f∈An: |(z/f(z))n + 1f'(z) - 1|<λ, z∈Δ}
and
Sα∗={f∈S∗(α): |z f'(z)/f(z) - 1|<1 - α, z∈Δ}.
In this paper, we find suitable conditions on λ and α so that Un(λ) is included in Sα and S∗(α). Here Sα and S∗(α) denote the usual classes of strongly starlike and starlike of order α, respectively. We determine necessary conditions so that f∈Un(λ) implies that

|z f'(z)/f(z) - 1/(2β)|<1/(2β), z∈Δ,
or
|1 + z f''(z)/f'(z) - 1/(2β)|<1/(2β), |z|<r,
where r=r(λ,n) will be specified. For c + 1 - n>0, define
[I(f)](z)=F(z)=z[(c + 1 - n)/zc + 1 - n.∫0z(t/f(t))ntc - n d t]1/n.
We also find conditions on λ, α and c so that I(Un(λ))⊂Sα∗.
