Abstract

A 2p2p-times continuously differentiable complex-valued function f=u+ivf=u+iv in a simply connected domain ΩC\Omega\subseteq\mathbb{C} is \textit{p-harmonic} if ff satisfies the pp-harmonic equation Δpf=0.\Delta ^pf=0. In this paper, we investigate the properties of pp-harmonic mappings in the unit disk z<1|z|<1. First, we discuss the convexity, the starlikeness and the region of variability of some classes of pp-harmonic mappings. Then we prove the existence of Landau constant for the class of functions of the form Df=zfz\barzf\barzDf=zf_{z}-\barzf_{\barz}, where ff is pp-harmonic in z<1|z|<1. Also, we discuss the region of variability for certain pp-harmonic mappings. At the end, as a consequence of the earlier results of the authors, we present explicit upper estimates for Bloch norm for bi- and tri-harmonic mappings.
