Abstract

The function f(z)=zp+k=1ap+kzp+k (p ∈ ℕ = {1,2,3,...}) analytic in the unit disk E is said to be in the class Kn,p(h) if Dn+pfDn+p-1fh, where Dn+p-1f=zp(1-z)p+nf and h is convex univalent in E with h(0) = 1. We study the class Kn,p(h) and investigate whether the inclusion relation Kn+1,p(h)Kn,p(h) holds for p > 1. Some coefficient estimates for the class are also obtained. The class An,p(a,h) of functions satisfying the condition aDn+pfDn+p-1f+(1-a)Dn+p+1fDn+pfh is also studied.
