INTRODUCTION.

Let S be the class of normalised functions f which are regular and univalent in the unit disc D {z

IzI<1}.

^Let

S*

be the subclass of S consisting of functions which are starlike, and denote by

P,

the class of functions which are regu- lar in D and satisfy there the conditions

p(O) I,

Re p(z) 0 for p

P.

v

Bazilevic [i] showed that if a and are real numbers, with a >

O,

then func- tions f, regular in

D,

and having the representation

(I.I)

S*

for g p P and z

D,

also form a subclass of S denoted by

B(a,),

which contains both S* and the class of close-to-convex functions. (Powers in (I.I) are principal values). When

B O,

we write

B(a,B) B(a).

Zamorski [2] and the author [3] gave proofs of the Bieberbach conjecture for f e

B(I/N),

N a positive integer, and more recently Leach [4] _has shown that the conjecture is true for f

B(a),

0 a

I.

Si,gh [5] considered the subclass

BI()

^of

^B(),

^obtained by taking the star- like function g(z) z and gave sharp estimates for the modules of the coefficients a2, a

3, and

a4,

^{where for z D,}

[z) z a zn [1.z) n=2 ⁿ

We note that

BI(1)

^{is the} subclass of S which consists of functions f for which Re f’(z) 0 for z D [6].

In this paper, we shall obtain some distortion theorems for f

Bl(a)

^{and give}

sharp estimates for the coefficients an in (2) when f e

BI(I/N)

^{N is a positive}

integer.

PROOF.

(i) Taking 8 0 and g(z)

^(I.I),

^it follows that f satisfies the equation

1-a l-a

f’(z)

f(z) p(z)

Thus

Ip(z)I

^<_

l+r ^{for z e D}

^[7],

^{we have at once}

^If(z)I

^<

^{Ql(r) I/a.}

To obtain the left-hand inequality in

(i),

we observe that, since Re p(z) > 0 for z D, Re p(z) ->

r

1-r

^[5],

^{and so from (2.2)}

Now let

Zl, [Zll

(]-$r)

^(2.3)

be chosen so that

[f(zl)a[ ^{-< [f(z)a[}

^{for all z with}

^[z[

^r.

Then, writing ^w

fl(z )(

^it follows that the line segment from w 0 to

f(zl)a

^{lies entirely in} the image of D. Let L be the pre-image of % then w

by (2.3) we have

If(zl)la fxldwl fL ^]zl

(1.1.1)d

^p

^Q2(r),

which is the left-hand inequality in (i).

(ii) The proof follows at once from (2.2) and (i) on noting that for p

P,

^[7].

Equality is attained in (i) for

f0

^{and in (ii) for f}o ^{when 0 and for} when a e 1.

We remark that as 0, the results of Theorem should in some way correspond to the classical distortion theorems for regular starlike (univalent) functions [7].

The following shows that the bounds in Theorem are asymptotic to the classical dis- tortion theorems as 0

THEOREM 2. Let

Q1(r)

Q2(r)

be defined as in Theorem

I.

Special Issue on

Modeling Experimental Nonlinear Dynamics and Chaotic Scenarios

Call for Papers

Thinking about nonlinearity in engineering areas, up to the 70s, was focused on intentionally built nonlinear parts in order to improve the operational characteristics of a device or system. Keying, saturation, hysteretic phenomena, and dead zones were added to existing devices increasing their behavior diversity and precision. In this context, an intrinsic nonlinearity was treated just as a linear approximation, around equilibrium points.

Inspired on the rediscovering of the richness of nonlinear and chaotic phenomena, engineers started using analytical tools from “Qualitative Theory of Di ff erential Equations,”

allowing more precise analysis and synthesis, in order to produce new vital products and services. Bifurcation theory, dynamical systems and chaos started to be part of the mandatory set of tools for design engineers.

This proposed special edition of the Mathematical Prob- lems in Engineering aims to provide a picture of the impor- tance of the bifurcation theory, relating it with nonlinear and chaotic dynamics for natural and engineered systems.

Ideas of how this dynamics can be captured through precisely tailored real and numerical experiments and understanding by the combination of specific tools that associate dynamical system theory and geometric tools in a very clever, sophis- ticated, and at the same time simple and unique analytical environment are the subject of this issue, allowing new methods to design high-precision devices and equipment.
