On the order of strong starlikeness and the radii of starlikeness for of some close-to-convex functions

Abstract

Abstract In this paper we show several sufficient conditions for close-to-convex functions to be strongly starlike of some order. The results continue the line of study from the first author’s paper on the order of strong starlikeness of strongly convex functions, (Nunokawa in Proc Japan Acad Ser A 69(7):234–237, 1993). Also it appears an small improvement of a certain classical results of Ch. Pommerenke. As an application, we also derive estimates for the radii of star-likeness for close-to-convex functions.
