Abstract

Let \es\es be the family of analytic and univalent functions ff in the unit disk \D\D with the normalization f(0)=f(0)1=0f(0)=f'(0)-1=0, and let γn(f)=γn\gamma_n(f)=\gamma_n denote the logarithmic coefficients of f\esf\in {\es}. In this paper, we study bounds for the logarithmic coefficients for certain subfamilies of univalent functions. Also, we consider the families \F(c)\F(c) and \G(δ)\G(\delta) of functions f\esf\in {\es} defined by Re(1+zf(z)f(z))>1c2\mboxandRe(1+zf(z)f(z))<1+δ2,z\D {\rm Re} \left ( 1+\frac{zf''(z)}{f'(z)}\right )>1-\frac{c}{2}\, \mbox{ and } \, {\rm Re} \left ( 1+\frac{zf''(z)}{f'(z)}\right )<1+\frac{\delta}{2},\quad z\in \D for some c(0,3]c\in(0,3] and δ(0,1]\delta\in (0,1], respectively. We obtain the sharp upper bound for γn|\gamma_n| when n=1,2,3n=1,2,3 and ff belongs to the classes \F(c)\F(c) and \G(δ)\G(\delta), respectively. The paper concludes with the following two conjectures: \begin{itemize} \item If f\F(1/2)f\in\F (-1/2), then γn1n(112n+1) \displaystyle |\gamma_n|\le \frac{1}{n}\left(1-\frac{1}{2^{n+1}}\right) for n1n\ge 1, and n=1γn2π26+14 Li2(14)Li2(12), \sum_{n=1}^{\infty}|\gamma_{n}|^{2} \leq \frac{\pi^2}{6}+\frac{1}{4} ~{\rm Li\,}_{2}\left(\frac{1}{4}\right) -{\rm Li\,}_{2}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right), where Li2(x){\rm Li}_2(x) denotes the dilogarithm function. \item If f\G(δ)f\in \G(\delta), then γnδ2n(n+1) \displaystyle |\gamma_n|\,\leq \,\frac{\delta}{2n(n+1)} for n1n\ge 1. \end{itemize}
