Abstract

Background

In Geometric Function Theory, a central area of complex analysis, researchers study the geometric properties of analytic and univalent functions in the unit disk. A significant part of this work involves defining some subclasses of functions and investigating their properties, such as coefficient estimates and Hankel determinants, which reveal important geometric information. This paper introduces a comprehensive subclass of analytic-univalent functions that generalizes well-known families like Yamaguchi and starlike functions within the broader Bazilević framework.

Methods and Results

Using the theory of Ma-Minda functions and the principle of subordination, sharp bounds for the initial coefficients, the Fekete-Szegö functionals with parameters, and the Hankel determinants are established for this subclass. The results are proven to be sharp, meaning they are the best possible. Furthermore, it is shown that this general class reduces to several previously known function families for specific parameter values, demonstrating its wide applicability.

Conclusions

This research successfully defines and analyzes a comprehensive subclass of analytic and univalent functions. The obtained sharp bounds for coefficient-related problems generalize and extend existing results in the literature. The work provides a unified framework for studying various function families, contributing valuable insights and tools for further exploration in Geometric Function Theory.

Revised Amendments from Version 1

This version represents a significantly revised and improved manuscript compared to the previously submitted version. In response to detailed reviewer feedback, we have restructured the entire paper to enhance clarity and logical flow. The introduction has been completely rewritten to establish a clearer connection with existing literature and to better articulate the motivation for this study. All notation, particularly for Carathéodory functions, has been standardized and corrected throughout. We have explicitly clarified the distinction between the analytic class �� and the univalent class �� in all definitions and results. The properties of Ma–Minda functions are now presented in an itemized format for improved readability, and the redundant special cases in Remark 1 have been merged into a single example. We have also explicitly stated the sharpness of our results and provided the corresponding extremal functions. The justification for the parameter τ > 0 in the Hankel determinant analysis has been added. Furthermore, the bibliography has been expanded with several recent and relevant references. A thorough proofreading has been performed to correct grammatical and punctuation errors. These revisions have substantially strengthened the mathematical rigor, organization, and scholarly presentation of the work.

1. Introduction

Geometric function theory (GFT) is a significant branch of complex analysis concerned with the geometric properties of analytic functions. Its applications extend to various mathematical and physical disciplines, including q-calculus, special functions, orthogonal polynomials, and conformal mappings.

Let A be the family of analytic functions on the open unit disk Ω={z:|z|<1} , normalized by the conditions f(0)=0 and f(0)=1 . Such functions have the series expansion:

f(z)=z+j=2ajzj,
the subclass SA consists of all univalent (one-to-one) functions in Ω .

A cornerstone of GFT is the coefficient problem, which seeks to determine the possible values of the coefficients aj and the bounds of functionals constructed from them. This problem was famously initiated by Bieberbach’s 1916 conjecture that | aj | j for all j2 . The eventual proof of this conjecture by de Branges in 19851 underscored the profound depth of this area of research. The pursuit of sharp bounds for other coefficient functionals, such as the Fekete-Szegö functional and Hankel determinants, remains an active and central theme in GFT.

Prominent subclasses of S , including starlike, convex, close-to-convex, and Yamaguchi functions, are defined based on the geometric characteristics of their image domains. The class of Bazilević functions, introduced in,2 represents one of the largest known subclasses of S .

A powerful tool in defining these classes is the principle of subordination (denoted fF ). For two functions ( f,FA ), we say f is subordinate to F if there exists an analytic function:

s(z)=s1z+s2z2+s3z3
with s(0)=0 and |s(z)|<1 such that f(z)=F(s(z)). If F is univalent, this is equivalent to f(0)=F(0) and f ( Ω ) F(Ω) .

The Carathéodory class P consists of functions p(z) analytic in Ω with p(0) = 1 and Re(p(z))>0 . Such functions have the series expansion:

In a significant unification effort, Ma and Minda3 introduced a general class using a function b(z) that is analytic, univalent, has a positive real part, and is characterized by a Taylor series b(z)=1+B1z+B2z2+ with B1 > 0. This framework elegantly encapsulates many previously studied classes.

A canonical and extremal function within the class P is the Möbius function:

m0(z)=1+z1z=1+2j=1zj(zΩ),
there exists a fundamental relationship between Carathéodory functions p(z) and functions s(z) analytic in Ω with |s(z)|<1 and s(0)=0 . This relationship is given by the following transformation:
p(z)=1+s(z)1s(z)s(z)=p(z)1p(z)+1(zΩ),
substituting the series expansion for p(z) into this relation yields the series expansion for s(z) :
s(z)=12[p1z+(p2p122)z2+(p3p1p2+p134)z3+].

A significant unification of several subclasses of starlike and convex functions was achieved by Ma and Minda3 in 1994. They introduced a function b(z) , which is analytic and univalent with a series expansion of the form:

(1)
b(z)=1+β1z+β2z2+β3z3+(β1>0,βk,zΩ).

This function b ( z) has the following key properties:

( Re(b(z)))>0.

b(0)=1 .

b(0)>0 .

b ( z) maps the unit disk Ω onto a domain that is starlike with respect to 1 and symmetric about the real axis.

By composing this function with s(z) , we obtain:

(2)
b(s(z))=1+β1s(z)+β2(s(z))2+β3(s(z))3+=1+β12p1z+[β12(p2p122)+β24p12]z2+[β12(p3p1p2+p134)+β22p1(p2p122)+β38p13]z3+

If a function fA maps the unit disk Ω onto a starlike domain, then f is classified as a starlike function. This geometric property is characterized by the analytic condition:

(3)
fST=Re(zf(z)f(z))>0,zΩ.

The extremal function for the class ST is the Koebe function:

k(z)=z(1z)2.

The class ST was first presented via Alexander,4 though its corresponding geometric property was actually characterized earlier via Nevanlinna in 1921.5 Research into starlike functions has since expanded significantly, leading to diverse formulations and applications, as explored by authors such as Lasode and Opoola.6 Later, in 1956, Yamaguchi7 defined a specific subclass of S characterized by the following condition:

(4)
fΥ=Re(f(z))>0,zΩ.

Various properties of functions in the Yamaguchi class Υ -such as univalence, radii problems, partial sums, and growth, distortion, and inclusion theorems-have been demonstrated in the literature on GFT.79 The class of Bazilević functions2 is one of the largest subclasses of S . Singh10 introduced important subclasses characterized by:

(5)
Rezf(z)f(z)δ1h(z)δ>0andRezf(z)f(z)δ1zδ>0.
with δ > 0.

In this paper, we build upon these foundations to define a new and comprehensive subclass Λ(δ, b) of analytic-univalent functions using a combination of concepts from Bazilević, Yamaguchi, and starlike functions, subordinated to a Ma-Minda function. We then proceed to derive sharp coefficient bounds, Fekete-Szegö inequalities, and Hankel determinant estimates for functions belonging to this class, demonstrating that it generalizes several important families of functions previously studied that have been mentioned by Tang H. and et al.11 and Lasode A. O. and et al.12 in the literature.

3. Main results

3.1 A new class of analytic-univalent functions

We now introduce a new class of analytic-univalent functions that generalizes the Bazilevič family.

Definition 1.

The class Λ(δ,b) consists of all functions fA satisfying

(6)
(f(z))δ(zf(z)f(z))1δb(z),

with 0δ1 and where b(z) is the Ma-Minda function defined in (1).

Remark 1.

The class Λ(δ,b) generalizes several well-known families:

  • 1. When δ=1 , condition (6) reduces to f(z)b(z) . In particular, b(z)=m0(z) , we obtain the Yamaguchi class Υ defined in (4).

  • 2. When δ=0 , condition (5) reduces to zf(z)f(z)b(z) . If b(z)=m0(z) , we obtain the starlike class ST defined in (3).

For general δ and b(z), this class provides a unified framework for studying Bazilević-type functions with Ma–Minda subordination.

3.2 Coefficient estimates for set Λ(δ,b)

Theorem 1.

If a function fA belongs to the class Λ(δ,b) , then

(7)
|a2|β11+δ
(8)
|a3|2β1+|β2|2+δ+(1δ)β12(1+δ)2
(9)
|a4|β1+2|β2|+|β3|3+δ+(1δ)(2δ)β136(1+δ)3+(1δ)β12(1+δ)(2+δ)+((1δ)β1)(|β2|+β1)(1+δ)(2+δ)+(1δ)2β132(1+δ)3.

And

|a5|5β1+3|β2|+3|β3|+|β4|(4+δ)+(1δ)(2δ)2(β12(1+δ)2)(2β1+|β2|(2+δ)+(1δ)β122(1+δ)2)+(1δ)(2δ)(3δ)β1424(1+δ)4+(1δ)β1(1+δ)(β1+2|β2|+|β3|3+δ+(1δ)(2δ)β136(1+δ)3+(1δ)β12(1+δ)(2+δ)+((1δ)β1)(|β2|+β1)(1+δ)(2+δ)+(1δ)2β132(1+δ)3)+(1δ)2(2β1+|β2|2+δ+(1δ)β12(1+δ)2)2.

Proof.

Let fA be a member of Λ(δ,b) . By the definition of subordination, there exists a Schwarz function such

(10)
(f(z))(zf(z)f(z))1δ=b(s(z))(zΩ),
using the binomial theorem, the left-hand side of (10) can be expressed as the series:
(11)
(f(z))δ(zf(z)f(z))1δ=1+(1+δ)a2z+12(2+δ)[2a3(1δ)a22]z2+(3+δ)6[(1δ)(2δ)a236(1δ)a2a3+6a4]z3+,
consequently, a comparison of the coefficients in (11) and (2) gives
(12)
a2=β1p12(1+δ),
(13)
a3=β1p22(2+δ)+[β2β14(2+δ)+(1δ)β128(1+δ)2]p12,
(14)
a4=12(3+δ)[β1(p3p1p2+p134)+β2p1(p2p122)+β34p13](1δ)(2δ)β13p1348(1+δ)3+(1δ)β1p12(1+δ)[β1p22(2+δ)+(β2β14(2+δ)+(1δ)β128(1+δ)2)p12].

And

(15)
a5=β12(4+δ)(p4p1p3p222+3p12p24p148)+β2p12(4+δ)(p3p1p2+p134)+β24(4+δ)(p2p122)2+3β3p128(4+δ)(p2p122)+β4p1416(4+δ)(1δ)(2δ)2(β1p12(1+δ))2(β1p22(2+δ)+[β2β14(2+δ)+(1δ)β128(1+δ)2]p12)+(1δ)(2δ)(3δ)24(β1p12(1+δ))4+(1δ)(β1p12(1+δ))(12(3+δ)[β1(p3p1p2+p134)+β2p1(p2p122)+β34p13](1δ)(2δ)β13p1348(1+δ)3+(1δ)β1p12(1+δ)[β1p22(2+δ)+(β2β14(2+δ)+(1δ)β128(1+δ)2)p12])+(1δ)2(β1p22(2+δ)+[β2β14(2+δ)+(1δ)β128(1+δ)2]p12)2.

Apparently, (12) gives

|a2|=β12(1+δ)|p1|.

Utilizing Lemma 1, we obtain the result given in (7). Additionally, from (13) it follows that

a3β1|p2|2(2+δ)+[|β2|+β14(2+δ)+(1δ)β128(1+δ)2]|p1|2.

The result in (8) follows from an application of Lemma 2 (for the case λ=1 ) and Lemma 1. Proceeding from (14), we obtain:

a412(3+δ)[β1|p3p1p2+p134|+|β2||p1||p2p122|+|β3|4|p1|3]+(1δ)(2δ)β13|p1|348(1+δ)3+(1δ)β1|p1|2(1+δ)[β1|p2|2(2+δ)+(|β2|+β14(2+δ)+(1δ)β128(1+δ)2)|p1|2].

Applying Lemma 3 with parameters u=14,v=w=1 , followed by Lemma 2 with λ=1 , and finally Lemma 1, yields the result stated in (9). Concluding this argument, Equation (15) provides:

a5β12(4+δ)(|p4p1p3||p2|22+34|p1|2|p213p122|)+|β2||p1|2(4+δ)|p3p1p2+p134|+|β2|4(4+δ)|p2p122|2+3|β3||p1|28(4+δ)|p2p122|+|β4||p1|416(4+δ)+(1δ)(2δ)2(β12|p1|24(1+δ)2)(β1|p2|2(2+δ)+[|β2|+β14(2+δ)+(1δ)β128(1+δ)2]|p1|2)+(1δ)(2δ)(3δ)24(β14|p1|416(1+δ)4)+(1δ)(β1|p1|2(1+δ))(12(3+δ)[β1|p3p1p2+p134|+|β2||p1||p2p122|+|β3|4|p1|3]+(1δ)(2δ)β13|p1|348(1+δ)3+(1δ)β1|p1|2(1+δ)[β1|p2|2(2+δ)+(|β2|+β14(2+δ)+(1δ)β128(1+δ)2)|p1|2])+(1δ)2(β1|p2|2(2+δ)+[|β2|+β14(2+δ)+(1δ)β128(1+δ)2]|p1|2)2.

3.3 Fekete-Szegö estimates for the class Λ(δ,b)

A central problem in the study of coefficient estimates for functions f in the class S is the analysis of the Fekete-Szegö functional, defined as:

(16)
FS(τ,f)=|a3τa22|.

In Geometric Function Theory (GFT), this functional, named for mathematicians Michael Fekete and Gábor Szegö, is a pivotal tool. Its historical significance stems from its role in refuting the Littlewood-Paley conjecture. Consequently, it has been the subject of extensive research for numerous subclasses of S , as documented in references like.1624

Theorem 2.

Let fΛ(δ,b) . Then

FS(τ,f){β12+δ(4(1δ)(2+δ)β1δ(1+δ)2+β2β1τ(2+δ)β1(1+δ)2)whenτφ1,β12+δwhenφ1τφ2,β12+δ(4(1δ)(2+δ)β1δ(1+δ)2+β2β1τ(2+δ)β1(1+δ)2)whenτφ2,β12+δmax{1,φ3}whenτC,
where
φ1=4(1δ)δ+β2(1+δ)2β12(2+δ)(1+δ)2β1(2+δ),
φ2=4(1δ)δ+β2(1+δ)2β12(2+δ)+(1+δ)2β1(2+δ).

And

(17)
φ3=|1λ|=|4(1δ)(2+δ)β1δ(1+δ)2+β2β1τ(2+δ)β1(1+δ)2|.

Proof.

Substituting Equations (12) and (13) into the functional defined in (16) yields

a3τa22=β1p22(2+δ)+[β2β14(2+δ)+(1δ)β128(1+δ)2]p12τ(β1p12(1+δ))2=β12(2+δ)(p2[τ(2+δ)β1(1+δ)24(1δ)(2+δ)β1δ(1+δ)2β2β1+1]p122).

So that

(18)
FS(τ,f)=|a3τa22|=|β12(2+δ)(p2[τ(2+δ)β1(1+δ)24(1δ)(2+δ)β1δ(1+δ)2β2β1+1]p122)|.

If we set

λ=τ(2+δ)β1(1+δ)24(1δ)(2+δ)β1δ(1+δ)2β2β1+1.

An application of Lemma 2 to the expression in (18) leads to

(19)
|p2λp122|2(1λ)=2(4(1δ)(2+δ)β1δ(1+δ)2+β2β1τ(2+δ)β1(1+δ)2).

So that when λ0, we have

τ4(1δ)δ+β2(1+δ)2β12(2+δ)(1+δ)2β1(2+δ).

Secondly,

|p2λp122|2.

So that when 0λ2, we have

4(1δ)δ+β2(1+δ)2β12(2+δ)(1+δ)2β1(2+δ)τ4(1δ)δ+β2(1+δ)2β12(2+δ)+(1+δ)2β1(2+δ).

Thirdly,

|p2λp122|2(λ1)=2(4(1δ)(2+δ)β1δ(1+δ)2+β2β1τ(2+δ)β1(1+δ)2).

So that when λ2, we have

τ4(1δ)δ+β2(1+δ)2β12(2+δ)+(1+δ)2β1(2+δ).

Finally, if λ , then

(20)
1λ=4(1δ)(2+δ)β1δ(1+δ)2+β2β1τ(2+δ)β1(1+δ)2.

Thus, the form of φ3 in (17) is verified. Substituting Equations (19) through (20) into (18) completes the proof of the Theorem.

3.4 Hankel determinant estimates for the class Λ(δ,b)

The Hankel matrix, characterized by constant entries along each ascending skew-diagonal, was first introduced by the German mathematician Hermann Hankel (1839–1873) in the mid-nineteenth century. Hankel’s initial research applied this matrix to the analysis of number sequences and their determinants. Since then, its utility has expanded significantly, with applications now encompassing factorial fractions,25 orthogonal polynomials,26 power series with integer coefficients,27 and the asymptotic properties of the determinants themselves.28 Within Geometric Function Theory (GFT), Pommerenke29 defined the Hankel determinant as follows:

(21)
Hi,j(f)=[ajaj+1aj+1aj+i1aj+i1aj+2(i1)].

Here, i,j1 , and the entries aj represent the coefficients of functions fA . Pommerenke originally applied these Hankel determinants to analyze the singularities of complex functions.

Building upon Pommerenke’s foundation,29 in a generalization of the Hankel determinant, Babalola30 introduced a Fekete-Szegö parameter τ>0 into the structure of Hi,j(f) , which led to the definition of the following determinants:

(22)
Hi,jτ(f)=[ajaj+1aj+1τaj+i1aj+i1aj+2(i1)].

Note that (22) simplifies to

(23)
|H2,1τ(f)|=|a3τa22|.

The functional H2,1τ(f) is commonly referred to as the Fekete–Szegő functional3133

(24)
|H2,2τ(f)|=|a2a4τa32|.

Recent research has focused extensively on determining upper bounds for the second-order HD H2,2τ(f) for various subclasses of analytic functions, as demonstrated.3436

Also

|H3,1τ(f)||a3||a2a4τa32|+|a4||a2a3τa4|+|a5||a3τa22|.
(25)
|H3,1τ(f)||a3||H2,2τ(f)|+|a4||L2τ(f)|+|a5||H2,1τ(f)|.

Where

(26)
|Ljτ(f)|=|ajaj+1τaj2|(j{2,3,4,}).

Related studies have also addressed third and fourth-order HDs.3741

Remark 2.

The following observations are noted:

  • 1. When τ=1 is substituted into (22), the modified determinant reduces to the original form, i.e., Hi,jτ(f)=Hi,j(f) as defined in (21).

  • 2. The absolute value of the second-order determinant |H2,1τ(f)| in (23) is equivalent to the Fekete-Szegö functional FS(τ,f) given in (16).

A comprehensive discussion of these properties can be found in the references.3,22,24,30 This study aims to determine the sharp upper bounds for the Hankel determinants in (24) and (25), treating the parameter τ as a positive real value.

Theorem 3.

Let fΛ(δ,b) . Then

|H2,2τ(f)|β11+δ(β1+2|β2|+|β3|3+δ+(1δ)(2δ)β136(1+δ)3+(1δ)β12(1+δ)(2+δ)+((1δ)β1)(|β2|+β1)(1+δ)(2+δ)+(1δ)2β132(1+δ)3)+τ(2β1+|β2|2+δ+(1δ)β12(1+δ)2).

Proof.

Substituting the expressions from (12), (13), and (14) into Equation (24) yields

a2a4τa32=(β1p12(1+δ))(12(3+δ)[β1(p3p1p2+p134)+β2p1(p2p122)+β34p13](1δ)(2δ)β13p1348(1+δ)3+(1δ)β1p12(1+δ)[β1p22(2+δ)+(β2β14(2+δ)+(1δ)β128(1+δ)2)p12])τ(β1p22(2+δ)+[β2β14(2+δ)+(1δ)β128(1+δ)2]p12)2.

Such that

|a2a4τa32|(β12(1+δ)|p1|)(12(3+δ)[β1|p3p1p2+p134|+|β2||p1||p2p122|+|β3|4|p1|3]+(1δ)(2δ)β13|p1|348(1+δ)3+(1δ)β1|p1|2(1+δ)[β1|p2|2(2+δ)+(|β2|+β14(2+δ)+(1δ)β128(1+δ)2)|p1|2])+τ(β1|p2|2(2+δ)+[|β2|+β14(2+δ)+(1δ)β128(1+δ)2]|p1|2)2.

The desired result of the theorem is then obtained through the systematic application of Lemma 1, Lemma 3 (with parameters u=14,v=w=1 ), and Lemma 2 (with λ=1 ).

Theorem 4.

Let fΛ(δ,b). Then

|L2τ(f)|2β12+β1|β2|(1+δ)(2+δ)+(1δ)β132(1+δ)3+τ(β1+2|β2|+|β3|3+δ+(1δ)(2δ)β136(1+δ)3+(1δ)β12(1+δ)(2+δ)+((1δ)β1)(|β2|+β1)(1+δ)(2+δ)+(1δ)2β132(1+δ)3).

Proof.

By substituting Equations (12), (13), and (14) into (26), we find that

a2a3τa4=(β1p12(1+δ))(β1p22(2+δ)+[β2β14(2+δ)+(1δ)β128(1+δ)2]p12)τ(12(3+δ)[β1(p3p1p2+p134)+β2p1(p2p122)+β34p13](1δ)(2δ)β13p1348(1+δ)3+(1δ)β1p12(1+δ)[β1p22(2+δ)+(β2β14(2+δ)+(1δ)β128(1+δ)2)p12]).

Therefore,

|a2a3τa4|(β12(1+δ)|p1|)(β1|p2|2(2+δ)+[|β2|+β14(2+δ)+(1δ)β128(1+δ)2]|p1|2)+τ(12(3+δ)[β1|p3p1p2+p134|+|β2||p1||p2p122|+|β3|4|p1|3]+(1δ)(2δ)β13|p1|348(1+δ)3+(1δ)β1|p1|2(1+δ)[β1|p2|2(2+δ)+(|β2|+β14(2+δ)+(1δ)β128(1+δ)2)|p1|2]).

The result of the theorem is then obtained by applying Lemma 3 (with u=14, v=w=1 ), Lemma 2 (with λ=1 ), and Lemma 1.

Theorem 5.

Proof.

The result is established by applying the findings of Theorems 1, 2, 3, and 4 to Equation (25), followed by the necessary algebraic simplifications.

4. Conclusion

This study investigated the properties of a new class of functions that generalizes Yamaguchi and starlike functions, both of which hold significant importance within the well-known class of Bazilevič functions. The new class, Λ(δ,b) , building upon the Ma-Minda function, a new class of functions is formulated based on fundamental tenets of Geometric Function Theory (GFT). Key results derived for this class include tight upper estimates on the initial coefficients, the Fekete-Szegö functional for parameters, and the second and third-order Hankel determinants involving a parameter τ>0 .

A notable feature of the newly defined set is its generality; it reduces to several well-known and previously studied function classes when specific parameters are chosen within their declared intervals.

Ethical considerations

The study did not involve human participants or animals.
