Initial logarithmic coefficients for functions starlike with respect to symmetric points

Abstract

AbstractIn this paper, we obtain the bounds of the initial logarithmic coefficients for functions in the classes $${\mathcal {S}}_S^*$$ S S ∗ and $${\mathcal {K}}_S$$ K S of functions which are starlike with respect to symmetric points and convex with respect to symmetric points, respectively. In our research, we use a different approach than the usual one in which the coeffcients of f are expressed by the corresponding coeffcients of functions with positive real part. In what follows, we express the coeffcients of f in $${\mathcal {S}}_S^*$$ S S ∗ and $${\mathcal {K}}_S$$ K S by the corresponding coeffcients of Schwarz functions. In the proofs, we apply some inequalities for these functions obtained by Prokhorov and Szynal, by Carlson and by Efraimidis. This approach offers a additional benefit. In many cases, it is easily possible to predict the exact result and to select extremal functions. It is the case for $${\mathcal {S}}_S^*$$ S S ∗ and $${\mathcal {K}}_S$$ K S .
