Sharp Bounds for Higher-Order Schippers Functionals Associated with Lune and Bean Domains

Abstract

We obtain sharp bounds for the third- and fourth-order Schippers functionals, $|σ_3(f)(0)|$ and $|σ_4(f)(0)|$, for subclasses of univalent functions associated with non-classical geometric domains. In particular, we investigate the lune-starlike class $\mathcal{S}_{\leftmoon}^*$ and the lune-convex class $\mathcal{C}_{\leftmoon}$ determined by the subordination \[ \frac{zf'(z)}{f(z)} \prec z+\sqrt{1+z^2}, \qquad 1+\frac{zf''(z)}{f'(z)} \prec z+\sqrt{1+z^2}, \] respectively, together with the bean-domain class $\mathcal{BT}_{\mathfrak{B}}$ associated with \[ \mathfrak{B}(z)=\sqrt{1+\tanh z}. \] Using Carathéodory coefficient parametrizations and extremal optimization techniques, we derive exact estimates for the higher-order Schwarzian derivatives at the origin and identify the corresponding extremal functions. In addition, geometric descriptions of the associated extremal image domains are provided to illustrate the sharpness phenomena. The obtained results further yield sharp bounds for the initial Grunsky coefficients $g_{1,1}$ and $g_{1,2}$. These findings provide a precise description of higher-order Schwarzian structures for univalent functions related to lune and bean shaped domains.
