Let $\mathcal{A}$ denote the class of all analytic functions $f$ in the unit disk $\mathbb{D}:=\{z\in\mathbb{C}: |z|<1\}$ such that $f(0)=f'(0)-1=0$. In this paper, we introduce a new subclass $\mathcal{C}_\theta(\gamma)$ of $\mathcal{A}$…

Let $\mathcal{S}^*(\varphi)$ be the class of all analytic functions $f$ in the unit disk $\mathbb{D}=\{z\in\mathbb{C}:|z|<1\}$, normalized by $f(0)=f'(0)-1=0$ that satisfy the subordination relation $zf'(z)/f(z)\prec\varphi(z)$, where…

We prove a sharp Schwarz-type lemma for meromorphic functions with spherical derivative uniformly bounded away from zero. As a consequence we deduce an improved quantitative version of a recent normality criterion due to Grahl & Nevo and…

Two meromorphic functions $f(z)$ and $g(z)$ sharing a small function $\alpha(z)$ usually is defined in terms of vanishing of the functions $f-\alpha$ and $g-\alpha$. We argue that it would be better to modify this definition at the points…

In this article we consider functions $f$ meromorphic in the unit disk. We give an elementary proof for a condition that is sufficient for the univalence of such functions. This condition simplifies and generalizes known conditions. We…

Let $\es$ be the family of analytic and univalent functions $f$ in the unit disk $\D$ with the normalization $f(0)=f'(0)-1=0$, and let $\gamma_n(f)=\gamma_n$ denote the logarithmic coefficients of $f\in {\es}$. In this paper, we study…

This study focuses on Concave mappings, a class of univalent functions that exhibit a unique property: they map the unit disk onto a domain whose complement is convex. The main objective of this work is to characterize these mappings in…

We prove that if D is a domain in C, alpha>1 and c>0, then the family F of functions meromorphic in D such that |f'(z)|/(1+|f(z)|^alpha)>c for every z in D is normalin D. For alpha=1, the same assumptions imply quasi-normality but not…

The Schwarzian derivative plays a fundamental role in complex analysis, differential equations, and modular forms. In this paper, we investigate its higher-order generalizations, known as higher Schwarzians, and their connections to…

Using the Schwarzian derivative we construct a sequence $\left(P_{\ell}\right)_{\ell \geqslant 2}$ of meromorphic differentials on every non-flat oriented minimal surface in Euclidean $3$-space. The differentials…

A version of the second main theorem of Nevanlinna theory is proved, where the ramification term is replaced by a term depending on a certain composition operator of a meromorphic function of small hyper-order. As a corollary of this result…

Let $\mathcal{A}$ be the family of analytic and normalized functions in the open unit disc $|z|<1$. In this article we consider the following classes \begin{equation*} \mathcal{R}(\alpha,\beta):=\left\{ f\in \mathcal{A}: {\rm…

In this paper, we study the uniqueness of the differential-difference of meromorphic functions. We prove the following result: Let $f$ be a nonconstant meromorphic function of $\rho_{2}(f)<1$, let $\eta$ be a non-zero complex number,…

A starlike univalent function $f$ is characterized by the function $zf'(z)/f(z)$; several subclasses of these functions were studied in the past by restricting the function $zf'(z)/f(z)$ to take values in a region $\Omega$ on the right-half…

A univalent meromorphic function defined on $\Delta:= \{z \in \mathbb{C}: 1<|z|<\infty \}$ with univalent inverse defined on $\Delta$ is bi-univalent meromorphic in $\Delta$. For certain subclasses of meromorphic bi-univalent functions,…

In the present article, we discuss about the estimate of the pre-Schwarzian and Schwarzian norms for locally univalent harmonic functions $f=h+\overline{g}$ in the unit disk $\mathbb{D}:=\{z\in\mathbb{C}:\, |z|<1\}$. In this regard, we…

Quantitative estimates are obtained for the (finite) valence of functions analytic in the unit disk with Schwarzian derivative that is bounded or of slow growth. A harmonic mapping is shown to be uniformly locally univalent with respect to…

For an analytic function $f$ defined on the unit disk $|z|<1$, let $\Delta(r,f)$ denote the area of the image of the subdisk $|z|<r$ under $f$, where $0<r\le 1$. In 1990, Yamashita conjectured that $\Delta(r,z/f)\le \pi r^2$ for convex…

Meromorphic solutions of non-linear differential equations of the form $f^n+P(z,f)=h$ are investigated, where $n\geq 2$ is an integer, $h$ is a meromorphic function, and $P(z,f)$ is differential polynomial in $f$ and its derivatives with…
