A study of sharp coefficient bounds for a new subfamily of starlike functions

Abstract

AbstractIn this article, by employing the hyperbolic tangent function tanhz, a subfamily $\mathcal{S}_{\tanh }^{\ast }$ S tanh ∗ of starlike functions in the open unit disk $\mathbb{D}\subset \mathbb{C}$ D ⊂ C : $$\begin{aligned} \mathbb{D}= \bigl\{ z:z\in \mathbb{C} \text{ and } \vert z \vert < 1 \bigr\} \end{aligned}$$ D = { z : z ∈ C  and  | z | < 1 } is introduced and investigated. The main contribution of this article includes derivations of sharp inequalities involving the Taylor–Maclaurin coefficients for functions belonging to the class $\mathcal{S}_{\tanh }^{\ast } $ S tanh ∗ of starlike functions in $\mathbb{D}$ D . In particular, the bounds of the first three Taylor–Maclaurin coefficients, the estimates of the Fekete–Szegö type functionals, and the estimates of the second- and third-order Hankel determinants are the main problems that are proposed to be studied here.
