Abstract

Let K denote the class of functions g(z)=z+a2z2+ which are regular and univalently convex in the unit disc E. In the present note, we prove that if f is regular in E, f(0)=0, then for gK, f(z)+αzf(z)g(z)+αzg(z) in E implies that f(z)g(z) in E, where α>0 is a real number and the symbol “” stands for subordination.
