Abstract

The class $M_α$ of $α$-convex functions, introduced by Mocanu in 1969, interpolates between starlike and convex functions. We prove a characterization of $M_α$ that extends a theorem of Chuaqui, Duren, and Osgood from the convex case to the full class, and determine sharp values of $β$ for which $M_α\subset C_β$ and $C_β\subset M_α$. We also obtain a sharp Fekete--Szegő inequality, bounds for the order and the Schwarzian norm, and an explicit formula for the Schwarzian norm of the $α$-Koebe function for $α= 1/n$, $n \in \mathbb{N}$, which we verify for $n \leq 9$ and conjecture to hold in general.

Pre-Schwarzian and Schwarzian norm estimates for harmonic functions with fixed analytic part

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 $\mathbb{D}:=\{z\in\mathbb{C}:\, |z|<1\}$. First, we prove a general result for the estimate of the pre-Schwarzian norm which rectify few earlier flawed results. We also consider a new class $\mathcal{F}_0$ consisting of all harmonic functions $f=h+\overline{g}$ in the unit disk $\mathbb{D}$ such that ${\rm Re\,}\left(1+z\frac{h''(z)}{h'(z)}\right)>0$ for $z\in\mathbb{D}$ with dilatation $ω_f(z)\in Aut(\mathbb{D})$ and obtain best possible estimates of the pre-Schwarzian and Schwarzian norms for functions in the class $\mathcal{F}_0$. Moreover, we obtain the distortion and coefficient estimates of the co-analytic function $g$ when $f=h+\overline{g}\in\mathcal{F}_0$.

The Reciprocal Problem on Weighted Bergman Spaces

The reciprocal problem on weighted Bergman spaces has been posed as an open problem. In this paper, we establish several sufficient conditions for the reciprocal property and clarify the parameter ranges in which the available methods are applicable. In particular, we prove that functions in $A_α^p\cap H^\infty$ enjoy the reciprocal property in the parameter ranges where the required analytic Besov composition theorem is available. In addition, using Hardy boundary estimates, we solve the reciprocal problem in the Drury--Arveson space $H_d^2$ when the dimension is $d=3$, and give an equivalent condition for the reciprocal problem in the four-dimensional Drury--Arveson space.

Solving non-oscillatory solutions of the Hill equation via the Tumura--Clunie method

We consider the Hill equation $f''-(\sum_{i=-\mathbf{l}}^{\mathbf{k}}b_{i}e^{iz})f=0$ ($†$), where $\mathbf{k}\geq 1$ and $\mathbf{l}\geq 0$ are integers and $b_{-\mathbf{l}}$, $\cdots$, $b_{\mathbf{k}}$ are constants such that $b_{\mathbf{k}}\not=0$. We point out that there is a full correspondence between the class of non-oscillatory solutions such that $λ(f)<\infty$ of equation ($†$) and the class of Liouvillian solutions of equation $x^2u''-(\sum_{i=-\mathbf{l}}^{\mathbf{k}}b_{i}x^{i})u=0$ ($‡$). Then this paper has twofold purposes. First, parallel to Kovacic's algorithms to find the Liouvillian solutions of equation ($‡$), we develop the Tumura--Clunie method to find the non-oscillatory solutions of a higher order version of the Hill equation. In this part, we first determine the form of entire solutions of a general Tumura--Clunie type differential equation. Second, for the particular Hill equation $f''-(b_{\mathbf{k}}e^{\mathbf{k}z}+b_{\mathbf{s}}e^{\mathbf{s}z}+b_0)f=0$, where $\mathbf{k}>\mathbf{s}\geq 1$ are integers and $b_{\mathbf{k}}b_{\mathbf{s}}\not=0$, we use the Tumura--Clunie method to determine the non-oscillatory solution $f$ with an additional zero property.
