1. Introduction
Let A denote the class of analytic functions f on the disk D:={z∈C:∣z∣<1} and normalized by the condition f(0)=0=f′(0)−1. Let S be the subset of A of univalent functions. An analytic function f defined on D is subordinate to the analytic function g on D (or g is superordinate to f), if there exists an analytic function w:D→D, with w(0)=0, such that f=g∘w. Furthermore, if g is univalent in D, then f≺g is equivalent to f(0)=g(0) and f(D)⊆g(D), see [13]. Let p be an analytic function on D normalized by p(0)=1. Goluzin [4] discussed the first order differential subordination zp′(z)≺zq′(z) and proved that, whenever zq′(z) is convex, the subordination p(z)≺q(z) holds and the function q is best dominant. After this basic result, many authors established several generalizations of first order differential subordination. The general theory of differential subordination is discussed in the monograph by Miller and Mocanu [12].
In 1989, Nunokawa et al. [14] proved that if subordination 1+zp′(z)≺1+z holds, then subordination p(z)≺1+z also holds. In 2007, Ali et al. [2] extended this result and determined the estimates on β for which the subordination 1+βzp′(z)/pj(z)≺(1+Dz)/(1+Ez)(j=0,1,2) implies the subordination p(z)≺(1+Az)/(1+Bz), where A,B,D,E∈[−1,1]. In 2013, Omar and Halim [15] determined the condition on β in terms of complex number D and real E with −1<E<1 and ∣D∣≤1 such that 1+βzp′(z)/pj(z)≺(1+Dz)/(1+Ez)(j=0,1,2) implies p(z)≺1+z. Recently, Kumar and Ravichandran [9] determined some sufficient conditions for certain first order differential subordinations to imply that the corresponding analytic solution is subordinate to a rational, exponential, or sine function. For more details, see [19, 22, 24, 3]. The function 1+z is associated with the class SL∗, introduced by Sokół and Stankiewicz [23]. This class consists of the function f∈A such that w(z):=zf′(z)/f(z) lies in the region bounded by the right half of the lemniscate of Bernoulli given by ∣w2−1∣<1. The lemniscate of Bernoulli is a best known plane curve resembling the symbol ∞. It was named after James Bernoulli who considered it in
elasticity theory in 1694. In geometry, the lemniscate is a plane curve defined by two given points F1 and F2, known as foci, at distance 2a from each other as the locus of points P so that PF1.PF2=a2. The equation of lemniscate may be written as (x2+y2)2=2a2(x2−y2). The lemniscate in the complex plane is the locus of z=x+iy such that ∣z2−a2∣=a2.
For an analytic function p(z)=1+c1z+c2z2+⋯, we determine the sharp bound on β so that
p(z)≺P(z) where P(z) is a function with positive real part like 1+z, (1+Az)/(1+Bz), ez, φ0(z):=1+kz((k+z)/(k−z))(k=2+1), φsin(z):=1+sinz, φC(z):=1+34z+32z2 and φ\mbox\leftmoon(z):=z+1+z2, whenever 1+βzp′(z)/pj(z)≺1+z,(j=0,1,2).
Many of our subordination results in this paper improve the corresponding non-sharp results obtained by earlier authors in [1, 6, 11]. Our results are sharp.
2. Main Results
In 1985, Padmanabhan and Parvatham [16] introduced a unified classes of starlike and convex functions using convolution with the function of the form z/(1−z)α, α∈R.
Later, Shanmugam [20] considered the class Sg∗(h) of all f∈A satisfying z(f∗g)′/(f∗g)≺h where h is a convex function, g is a fixed function in A. Denote by S∗(h) and K(h), the subclass Sg∗(h), when g is z/(1−z) and z/(1−z)2 respectively. In 1992, Ma and Minda [10] considered a weaker assumption that h is a function with positive real part whose range is symmetric with respect to real axis and starlike with respect to h(0)=1 with h′(0)>0 and proved distortion, growth, and covering theorems. The class S∗(h) generalizes many subclasses of A, for example,
S∗[A,B]:=S∗((1+Az)/(1+Bz))(−1≤B<A≤1) [5], SL∗:=S∗(1+z) [23], Se∗:=S∗(ez) [11], Ssin∗:=S∗(φsin(z)) [7], SC∗:=S∗(φC(z)) [21], SR∗:=S∗(φ0(z)) [8],
and S\mbox\leftmoon∗:=S∗(φ\mbox\leftmoon(z)) [17, 18].
Several sufficient conditions for functions to belong to the above defined classes can be obtained as an application of the following subordination results involving the lemniscate of Bernoulli and other well known starlike functions with positive real part.
Our first result gives a bound on β so that 1+βzp′(z)≺1+z implies that the function p is subordinate to several well-known starlike functions.
Theorem 2.1**.**
Let the function p be analytic in D, p(0)=1 and 1+βzp′(z)≺1+z.
Then the following subordination results hold:
(a)
If β≥2−12(2−1+log2−log(1+2))≈1.09116, then p(z)≺1+z.
(b)
If β≥3−222(1−log2)≈3.57694, then p(z)≺φ0(z).
(c)
If β≥sin(1)2(1−log2)≈0.729325, then p(z)≺φsin(z).
(d)
If β≥(2+2)(1−log2)≈1.044766, then p(z)≺φ\mbox\leftmoon(z).
(e)
If β≥3(1−log2)≈0.920558, then p(z)≺φC(z).
(f)
Let −1<B<A<1 and B0=2−log(1+2+1)2−log4−2+log(1+2)≈0.151764. If either
(i)
B<B0* and β≥A−B2(1−B)(1−log2)≈0.613706A−B1−B or*
(ii)
B>B0* and β≥A−B2(1+B)(2−1+log2−log(1+2))≈0.451974A−B1+B, *
then p(z)≺(1+Az)/(1+Bz).
The bounds on β are sharp.
In proving our results, the following lemma will be needed.
Lemma 2.2**.**
[13, Theorem 3.4h, p. 132]**
Let q be analytic in D and let ψ and ν be analytic in a domain U containing q(D) with ψ(w)=0 when w∈q(D). Set
Q(z):=zq′(z)ψ(q(z)) and h(z):=ν(q(z))+Q(z).
Suppose that (i) either h is convex, or Q is starlike univalent in D and (ii) Re(zh′(z)/Q(z))>0 for z∈D.
If p is analytic in D, with p(0)=q(0), p(D)⊆U and
is analytic and is a solution of the differential equation 1+βzqβ′(z)=1+z. Consider the functions ν(w)=1 and ψ(w)=β. The function Q:D→C is defined by Q(z)=zqβ′(z)ψ(qβ(z))=βzqβ′(z). Since 1+z−1 is starlike function in D, it follows that function Q is starlike. Also note that the function h(z)=ν(qβ(z))+Q(z) satisfies Re(zh′(z)/Q(z))>0 for z∈D. Therefore, by making use of Lemma 2.2, it follows that 1+βzp′(z)≺1+βzqβ′(z) implies p(z)≺qβ(z).
Each of the conclusion in (a)-(f) is p(z)≺P(z) for appropriate P and this holds if the subordination qβ(z)≺P(z) holds. If qβ(z)≺P(z), then P(−1)<qβ(−1)<qβ(1)<P(1). This gives a necessary condition for p≺P to hold. Surprisingly, this necessary condition is also sufficient. This can be seen by looking at the graph of the respective functions.
(a) On taking P(z)=1+z, the inequalities qβ(−1)≥0 and qβ(1)≤2 reduce to β≥β1 and β≥β2,
where
β1=2(1−log2) and β2=2(2−1+log2−log(1+2))/(2−1) respectively. Therefore, the subordination qβ(z)≺1+z holds only if
β≥max{β1,β2}=β2.
(b)
Consider P(z)=φ0(z).
A simple calculation shows that the inequalities qβ(−1)≥φ0(−1) and qβ(1)≤φ0(1) reduce to β≥β1 and β≥β2, where β1=2(1−log2)/(3−22) and β2=2(2−1+log2−log(1+2)) respectively.
Thus the subordination qβ(z)≺φ0(z) holds only if β≥max{β1,β2}=β1.
(c)
Consider P(z)=φsin(z). The inequalities qβ(−1)≥φsin(−1) and qβ(1)≤φsin(1) reduce to β≥β1 and β≥β2,
where
[TABLE]
respectively. The subordination qβ(z)≺φSin(z) holds if β≥max{β1,β2}=β1.
(d)
Consider P(z)=φ\mbox\leftmoon(z).
The inequalities qβ(−1)≥φ\mbox\leftmoon(−1) and qβ(1)≤φ\mbox\leftmoon(1) give β≥β1 and β≥β2, where β1=(2+2)(1−log2) and β2=2(2−1+log2−log(1+2)) respectively.
The subordination qβ(z)≺φ\mbox\leftmoon(z) holds if β≥max{β1,β2}=β1.
(e)
Consider P(z)=φC(z).
From the inequalities φC(−1)≤qβ(−1) and qβ(1)≤φC(1), we get β≥3(1−log2) and β≥2(2−1+log2−log(1+2)) respectively. Thus the subordination qβ(z)≺φC(z) holds if
β≥max{3(1−log2),2(2−1+log2−log(1+2))}=3(1−log2).
(f)
Consider P(z)=(1+Az)/(1+Bz).
From the inequalities qβ(−1)≥(1−A)/(1−B) and qβ(1)≤(1+A)/(1+B), we note that β≥β1 and β≥β2, where
[TABLE]
respectively. A simple calculation gives β1−β2=2(1−log2)+(1+B)(log(1+2)−2). We note that β1−β2≥0 if B<B0 and β1−β2≤0 if B>B0 where
[TABLE]
The necessary subordination p(z)≺(1+Az)/(1+Bz) holds if β≥max{β1,β2}.
∎
The subordination results in part (a) and (f) in Theorem 2.1 were also investigated by the authors in [1, Lemma 2.1, p. 1019] and [6, Lemma 2.1, p. 3], but their results were non-sharp.
Next result gives a bound on β so that 1+βzp′(z)/p(z)≺1+z implies p is subordinate to some well-known starlike functions.
Theorem 2.3**.**
Let the function p be analytic in D, p(0)=1 and 1+βzp′(z)/p(z)≺1+z. Then the following subordination results hold:
(a)
If β≥log(22−22(log2−1))≈3.26047, then p(z)≺φ0(z).
(b)
If β≥log(1+sin(1))2(2−1+log(2)−log(2+1))≈0.740256, then p(z)≺φsin(z).
(c)
If β≥log(2−1)2(log2−1)≈0.696306, then p(z)≺φ\mbox\leftmoon(z).
(d)
If β≥2(1−log2)≈0.613706, then p(z)≺ez.
(e)
If −1<B<A<1 and β≥max{β1,β2} where
[TABLE]
then p(z)≺(1+Az)/(1+Bz).
The bounds on β are best possible.
Proof.
The function qβ:D→C defined by
[TABLE]
is analytic and is a solution of the differential equation 1+βzqβ′(z)/qβ(z)=1+z.
Define the functions ν(w)=1 and ψ(w)=β/w. The function Q:D→C defined by Q(z):=zqβ′(z)ψ(qβ(z))=βzqβ′(z)/qβ(z)=1+z−1 is starlike in D. The function h(z):=ν(qβ(z))+Q(z)=1+Q(z) satisfies Re(zh′(z)/Q(z))>0 for z∈D. Therefore, by using Lemma 2.2, we see that the subordination
[TABLE]
implies p(z)≺qβ(z). As the similar lines of the proof of Theorem 2.1, the proofs of parts (a)-(e) are completed.∎
The subordination in part (d) and (e) of Theorem 2.3 were earlier investigated in [11, Theorem 2.16(c), p. 10] and [6, Lemma 2.3, p. 5] where non-sharp results were obtained.
Next, we determine a bound on β so that 1+βzp′(z)/p2(z)≺1+z implies p is subordinate to several well-known starlike functions.
Theorem 2.4**.**
Let the function p be analytic in D, p(0)=1 and 1+βzp′(z)/p2(z)≺1+z.
Then the following subordination results hold for sharp bound of β:
(a)
If β≥4(1+2)(1−log2)≈2.96323, then p(z)≺φ0(z).
(b)
If β≥sin(1)2(1+sin(1))(2−log(1+2)+log2−1)≈0.989098,
then p(z)≺φsin(z).
(c)
If β≥(2+2)(2−log(1+2)+log2−1)≈0.771568, then p(z)≺φ\mbox\leftmoon(z).
(d)
Let −1<B<A<1 and A0=2−log(1+2+1)2−log4−2+log(1+2)≈0.151764. If either
(i)
A>A0* and β≥A−B2(1−A)(1−log2)≈0.613706A−B1−A or*
(ii)
A<A0* and β≥A−B2(1+A)(2−1+log2−log(1+2))≈0.451974A−B1+A, *
then p(z)≺(1+Az)/(1+Bz).
Proof.
The function qβ:D→C defined by
[TABLE]
is clearly analytic and is a solution of the differential equation 1+βzqβ′(z)/qβ2(z)=1+z. Define the functions ν(w)=1 and ψ(w)=β/w2. The function Q:D→C defined by Q(z)=zqβ′(z)ψ(qβ(z))=βzqβ′(z)/qβ2(z)=1+z−1 is starlike in D, Q is starlike function. The function h(z):=ν(qβ(z))+Q(z)=ν(qβ(z))+Q(z) satisfies the inequality Re(zh′(z)/Q(z))>0 for z∈D. Therefore, by using Lemma 2.2, we see that the subordination
[TABLE]
implies p(z)≺qβ(z). As the similar lines of the proof of Theorem 2.1, the proofs of parts (a)-(d) are obtained.
∎
The subordination in part (d) of Theorem 2.4 was earlier investigated in [6, Lemma 2.4, p. 6] where non-sharp result was obtained.
