We consider the family of all analytic and univalent functions in the unit disk of the form $f(z)=z+a_2z^2+a_3z^3+\cdots$. Our objective in this paper is to estimate the difference of the moduli of successive coefficients, that is $\big |…
Spaces of convex and concave functions appear naturally in theory and applications. For example, convex regression and log-concave density estimation are important topics in nonparametric statistics. In stochastic portfolio theory, concave…
We give some coefficient bounds and distortion theorems for a subclass of univalent functions in the unit disk, and defined using the S\^{a}l\^{a}gean differential operator. The results generalize and unify some well known results for…
This note deals with certain properties of convex functions. We provide results on the convexity of the set of minima of these functions, the behaviour of their subgradient set under restriction, and optimization of these functions over an…
This paper presents a general study of one-dimensional differentiability for functionals defined on convex domains that are not necessarily open. The local approximation is carried out using affine functionals, as opposed to linear…
We consider the convolution of half-plane harmonic mappings with respective dilatations $(z+a)/(1+az)$ and $e^{i\theta}z^{n}$, where $-1<a<1$ and $\theta\in\mathbb{R},n\in\mathbb{N}$. We prove that such convolutions are locally univalent…
In the context of global optimization of mixed-integer nonlinear optimization formulations, we consider smoothing univariate functions $f$ that satisfy $f(0)=0$, $f$ is increasing and concave on $[0,+\infty)$, $f$ is twice differentiable on…
Functional equations satisfied by additive functions have a special interest not only in the theory of functional equations, but also in the theory of (commutative) algebra because the fundamental notions such as derivations and…
Our primary aim is to explore a sufficient condition for the class of meromorphically convex functions of order $\alpha$, where $0 \leq \alpha < 1$. The investigation will focus on studying a class of continuous functions defined on…
In this note, we investigate the supremum and the infimum of the functional $|a_{n+1}|-|a_{n}|$ for functions, convex and analytic on the unit disk, of the form $f(z)=z+a_2z^2+a_3z^3+\dots.$ We also consider the related problem to maximize…
The purpose of this article is twofold. First, we prove that the squeezing function approaches 1 near strongly pseudoconvex boundary points of bounded domains in $\mathbb{C}^{n+1}$. Second, we show that the squeezing function approaches 1…
The confluent hypergeometric functions (the Kummer functions) defined by ${}_{1}F_{1}(\alpha;\gamma;z):=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{(\alpha)_{n}}{n!(\gamma)_{n}}z^{n}\ (\gamma\neq 0,-1,-2,\cdots)$, which are of many properties and great…
A normalized analytic function f is shown to be univalent in the open unit disk D if its second coefficient is sufficiently small and relates to its Schwarzian derivative through a certain inequality. New criteria for analytic functions to…
In this paper, we give a general boundary Schwarz lemma for holomorphic mappings between unit balls in any dimensions. It is proved that if the mapping $f\in C^{1+\alpha}$ at $z_0\in \partial \mathbb B^n$ with $f(z_0)=w_0\in \partial…
In the present investigation, we introduce a new subclass of starlike functions defined by $\mathcal{S}^{*}_{\tau}:=\{f\in \mathcal{A}:zf'(z)/f(z) \prec 1+\arctan z=:\tau(z)\}$, where $\tau(z)$ maps the unit disk $\mathbb {D}:= \{z\in…
Among various methods of finding accessory parameters in the Schwarz-Christoffel integrals, Kufarev's method, based on the Loewner differential equation, plays an important role. It is used for describing one-parameter families of functions…
Given a strictly positive measure, we characterize inner semicontinuous solid convex-valued mappings for which continuous functions which are selections almost everywhere are selections. This class contains continuous mappings as well as…
In this paper we study class $\mathcal{S}^+$ of univalent functions $f$ such that $\frac{z}{f(z)}$ has real and positive coefficients. For such functions we give estimates of the Fekete-Szeg\H{o} functional and sharp estimates of their…
For $n\geq 4$ (even), the function $\varphi_{n\mathcal{L}}(z)=1+nz/(n+1)+z^n/(n+1)$ maps the unit disk $\mathbb{D}$ onto a domain bounded by an epicycloid with $n-1$ cusps. In this paper, the class $\mathcal{S}^*_{n\mathcal{L}} =…
