Abstract

For functions f(z)=z+a2z2+a3z3+f(z)= z+ a_2 z^2 + a_3 z^3 + \cdots in various subclasses of normalized analytic functions, we consider the problem of estimating the generalized Zalcman coefficient functional ϕ(f,n,m;λ):=λanaman+m1\phi(f,n,m;\lambda):=|\lambda a_n a_m -a_{n+m-1}|. For all real parameters λ\lambda and β<1 \beta<1, we provide the sharp upper bound of ϕ(f,n,m;λ)\phi(f,n,m;\lambda) for functions ff satisfying Ref(z)>β\operatorname{Re}f'(z) > \beta and hence settles the open problem of estimating ϕ(f,n,m;λ)\phi(f,n,m;\lambda) recently proposed by Agrawal and Sahoo [S. Agrawal and S. k. Sahoo, On coefficient functionals associated with the Zalcman conjecture, arXiv preprint, 2016]. It is worth mentioning that the sharp estimations of ϕ(f,n,m;λ)\phi(f,n,m;\lambda) follow for starlike and convex functions of order α\alpha (α<1)(\alpha <1) when λ0\lambda \leq 0. Moreover, for certain positive λ\lambda, the sharp estimation of ϕ(f,n,m;λ)\phi(f,n,m;\lambda) is given when ff is a typically real function or a univalent function with real coefficients or is in some subclasses of close-to-convex functions.
