THE SECONDHANKEL DETERMINANT FOR A CLASS OF
ANALYTIC FUNCTIONS ASSOCIATEDWITHTHE
CARLSON-SHAFFER OPERATOR
A. K. MISHRA AND S. N. KUND
Abstract. In this paper a new class of analytic functions, associated with the Carlson-
Shaffer operator, is investigated. The sharp estimate for the Second Hankel determinant
and class preserving transforms are studied.
1. Introduction
Let A be the class of analytic functions in the open unit disc
U:={z : z C, |z| <1} .
We denote by A
0
, the subclass of A consisting of normalized functions of the form:
f (z) =z +

n=2
a
n
z
n
(z U). (1.1)
For the functions f and g in A given by the series expansion:
f (z) =

n=0
a
n
z
n
, g(z) =

n=0
b
n
z
n
(z U),
the Hadamard product (or Convolution) f g, is dened by
(f g)(z) =

n=0
a
n
b
n
z
n
=(g f )(z) (z U).
The function f g A. We recall that the Carlson- Shaffer operator [3]

where

:=

_
1 (k =0)
(+1). . . (+k 1) (k N={1, 2, . . . }).
It can be readily veried that L(, ) is the identity operator; the operators L(, ) and
L(, ) commute, that is
L(, )L(, )f (z) =L(, )L(, )f (z) (f A
0
)
and the following transitive property holds true:
L(, )L(, )f =L(, )f (, C\Z

0
, f A
0
).
In the particular case =2, =1, the operator L(, ) reduces to the Alexanders transform:
L(2, 1)f (z) =z f

(z) (f A
0
).
Moreover, the popular Owa-Srivastava fractional differential operator

z
: A
0
A
0
(0 <1, z U)
is related to the Carlson-Shaffer operator by the formula:

z
f (z) =L(2, 2)f (z)
(see [23, 24, 25], also see [18, 19]). By using the Carlson-Shaffer operator we introduce the
following class of functions:
Denition 1. The function f A
0
is said to be in the class R
,

) if

THE SECOND HANKEL DETERMINANT FOR A CLASS OF ANALYTIC FUNCTIONS 75
The class R
,
(, ) generalizes several well known subclasses of A
0
. For example, tak-
ing = ; = 2, = 1 and = 2, = 2 (0 < 1) respectively, we get the following
interesting classes:
R
,
(, ) =
_
f A
0
:
_
e
i
f (z)

_

It is well known that the functions in the class R
1
() are univalent close-to-convex [4]. More-
over, if 0 <<1 then
R

() R

() R

() R

()
(cf. [16, 20]). For initial seminal work on the class R
1
(0) := R
1
one may see the classical
paper of Macgregor [17]. The family of functions R
,
(, ) is characterized by the following
function class:
P :={p A : p(0) =1, (p(z)) >0, z U}.
Infact, it follows from (1.4) that the function f A
0
is in the class R
,
(, ) if and only if
e
i
L(, )f (z)
z
=[(1)p(z) +] cos+i sin (1.6)
for some function p P.
For the complex sequence a
n
, a
n+1
, a
n+2
, . . . , the Hankel matrix, named after Herman
Hankel (1839-1873), is the innite matrix whose (i , j )
t h
entry a
i j
is dened by
a
i j
=a
n+i +j 2
(i , j , n N).
The q
t h
Hankel matrix (q N\{1}), is by denition, the following q q square sub matrix:

We observe that the Hankel matrix has constant positive slopping diagonals whose entries
also satisfy:
a
i j
=a
i 1, j +1
(i N\{1}; j N).
This also describes the Hankel matrix without reference to a particular sequence. The deter-
minant of the q
t h
Hankel matrix, usually denoted by H
q
(n), is called the q
t h
Hankel deter-
minant (cf. [22]). In the particular cases q = 2, n = 1, a
1
= 1 and q = 2, n = 2, the Hankel
determinant simplies respectively to
H
2
(1) =a

a
2
2
and H
2
(2) =a
2
a
4
a
2

.
We refer to H
2
(2) as the Second Hankel determinant.
It is fairly well known that for the univalent function of the form (1.1) the sharp inequal-
ity |H
2
(1)| = |a
3
a
2
2
| 1 holds true [4]. For a family of functions in A
0
, the more general
problem of nding sharp estimates for the functional |a
2
2
a
3
| ( R or C) is popu-
larly known as the Fekete-Szeg problem for . The Fekete-Szeg problem for the families of
univalent functions, starlike functions, convex functions, close-to-convex functions has been
completely settled in [5, 11, 12, 13]. For related results also see [19].
Recently Janteng et.al.[8] and the rst author and Gochhayat [20] obtained sharp esti-
mates on the Second Hankel determinant for the families R
1
() and R

(, ) respectively.
For some more recent work see [1, 6, 7, 9, 10, 21]. In this paper we generalize the results of [8]
and [20] by nding sharp bounds for |H
2
(2)| =|a

here some basic properties such as class preserving transforms for the class R
,
(, ).
2. Preliminaries
Each of the following results will be required in our present investigation:

Then,

The estimate (2.2) is sharp.

THE SECOND HANKEL DETERMINANT FOR A CLASS OF ANALYTIC FUNCTIONS 77
Lemma 2.3. (cf. [26]) Let f and g be univalent convex functions in U. Then, f g is also a
univalent convex function in U.
Lemma 2.4. (cf. [26], also see [16]) Let f and g be starlike of order 1/2. Then, for each function
F(z) satisfying (F(z)) > (0 <1, z U),

_
f (z) F(z)g(z)
f (z) g(z)

3. Main results
We state and prove the following:
Theorem3.1. Let the function f , given by (1.1), be in the class R
,
(, ) (0 <1,

2

The estimate (3.1) is sharp.
Proof. Let f R
,
(, ) (0 <1,

2

2
). Then using (1.2), (1.3), and (1.6) we write
e

where p P and is given by (2.1).
A comparison of the coefcients, in (3.2) gives

Since the functions p(z) and p(e
i

assume without loss of generality that c

>0. For convenience of notation, we take c

=c (c

We next maximize the function F(c, ) on the closed rectangle [0, 2] [0, 1]. We rst as-
sume that 0 <<. A routine calculation gives

Therefore, for 0 <c <2 and 0 < <1, we have
F

>0. Thus F(c, ) cannot have a maximum

in the interior of the closed rectangle [0, 2] [0, 1]. Moreover, for xed c [0, 2],
max

F(c, ) =F(c, 1).

(c) < 0 for 0 < c < 2. Also

H(c) > H(2). Therefore max
0c2
H(c) occurs at c = 0 and the upper bound of (3.4) corre-
sponds to =1 and c =0. Next, taking 0 <= in (3.4) we have
F(c, ) =

The proof of the theorem is completed.

Proof. The integral transformJ(f ) can be written in terms of the Carlson-Shaffer operator
as
J(f )(z) =(L(+1, +2)f )(z).
Hence
(L(, )J(f ))(z) =L(+1, +2)L(, )f (z) =(+1, +2; z) L(, )f (z).
Therefore,

Using a result of Bernardi [2], it can be veried that (+1, +2; z) S
