For a normalised analytic function f defined on the open unit disk in the complex plane, we determine several sufficient conditions for starlikeness in terms of the quotients Q_{ST}:=zf'(z)/f(z), Q_{CV}:=1+zf"(z)/f'(z) and the Schwarzian…

Let $I\subseteq{\mathbb{R_+}}$ be a non empty and non singleton interval where ${\mathbb{R_+}}$ denotes the set of all non negative numbers. A function $\Phi: I\to {\mathbb{R_+}}$ is said to be subadditive if for any $x,y$ and $x+y\in I$,…
