It is well-known that the condition ${\operatorname{Re}} \left[1+\frac{zf''(z)}{f'(z)}\right]>0$, $z\in{\mathbb D}$, implies that $f$ is starlike function (i.e. convexity implies starlikeness). If the previous condition is not satisfied for…

Let $\mathcal{S}^*(\alpha_1,\alpha_2)$, where $ \alpha_1, \alpha_2 \in (0,1]$, represent the class of functions $f$ that are analytic in the open unit disk $\mathbb{D}$, normalized by $f(0) = f'(0) - 1=0$, and satisfying the following…

We introduce and study a class of starlike functions associated with the non-convex domain \[ \mathcal{S}^*_{nc} = \left\{ f \in \mathcal{A} : \frac{z f'(z)}{f(z)} \prec \frac{1+z}{\cos{z}} =: \varphi_{nc}(z), \;\; z \in \mathbb{D}…

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…

Geometric function theory increasingly draws on $q$-calculus to model discrete and quantum-inspired phenomena. Motivated by this, the present paper introduces new subclasses of analytic functions: the class $\mathcal{S}^{*}_{\xi_q}$ of…

We find the radius of starlikeness of order $\alpha$, $0\leq \alpha<1$, of normalized analytic functions $f$ on the unit disk satisfying either $\operatorname{Re}(f(z)/g(z))>0$ or $\left| (f(z)/g(z))-1\right|<1$ for some close-to-star…

A starlike function $f$ is characterized by the quantity $zf'(z)/f(z)$ lying in the right half-plane. This paper deals with sharp bounds for certain symmetric Toeplitz determinants whose entries are the coefficients of the functions $f$ for…

Let $\mathcal{G}(\alpha)$ denote the family of functions $ f(z)$ in the open unit disk $\mathbb D :=\{z\in\mathbb{C}: |z|<1\}$ that satisfy $ f(0)=0= f'(0)=1$ and \[\Re \left(1+ \dfrac{z f''(z)}{ f'(z)}\right)<1+\dfrac{\alpha}{2} , \quad…

For functions $f(z)=z^p+a_{n+1}z^{p+1}+...$ defined on the open unit disk, the condition $\Re (f'(z)/z^{p-1})>0$ is sufficient for close-to-convexity of $f$. By making use of this result, several sufficient conditions for close-to-convexity…
