A new inner approach for differential subordinations

Abstract

In this paper we introduce and examine the differential subordination of the form \[ p(z)+zp'(z)\varphi(p(z),zp'(z))\prec h(z),\quad z\in\mathbb{D}:=\{z\in\mathbb{C}:|z|<1\}, \]where $h$ is a convex univalent function with $0\in h(\mathbb {D}).$ The proof of the main result is based on the original lemma for convex univalent functions and offers a new approach in the theory. In particular, the above differential subordination leads to generalizations of the well-known Briot-Bouquet differential subordination. Appropriate applications among others related to the differential subordination of harmonic mean are demonstrated. Related problems concerning differential equations are indicated.
