Abstract

For 0<λ10<\lambda \leq 1, let U(λ){\mathcal U}(\lambda) denote the family of functions f(z)=z+n=2anznf(z)=z+\sum_{n=2}^{\infty}a_nz^n analytic in the unit disk \ID\ID satisfying the condition (zf(z))2f(z)1<λ\left |\left (\frac{z}{f(z)}\right )^{2}f'(z)-1\right |<\lambda in \ID\ID. Although functions in this family are known to be univalent in \ID\ID, the coefficient conjecture about ana_n for n5n\geq 5 remains an open problem. In this article, we shall first present a non-sharp bound for an|a_n|. Some members of the family U(λ){\mathcal U}(\lambda) are given by zf(z)=1(1+λ)ϕ(z)+λ(ϕ(z))2 \frac{z}{f(z)}=1-(1+\lambda)\phi(z) + \lambda (\phi(z))^2 with ϕ(z)=eiθz\phi(z)=e^{i\theta}z, that solve many extremal problems in U(λ){\mathcal U}(\lambda). Secondly, we shall consider the following question: Do there exist functions ϕ\phi analytic in \ID\ID with ϕ(z)<1|\phi (z)|<1 that are not of the form ϕ(z)=eiθz\phi(z)=e^{i\theta}z for which the corresponding functions ff of the above form are members of the family U(λ){\mathcal U}(\lambda)? Finally, we shall solve the second coefficient (a2a_2) problem in an explicit form for fU(λ)f\in {\mathcal U}(\lambda) of the form f(z)=z1a2z+λz0zω(t)dt,f(z) =\frac{z}{1-a_2z+\lambda z\int_0^z\omega(t)\,dt}, where ω\omega is analytic in \ID\ID such that ω(z)1|\omega(z)|\leq 1 and ω(0)=a\omega(0)=a, where a\IDa\in \overline{\ID}.
