We determine the condition on a p f and 1 for which l 1-a z f z 1 a zf r z f z z f z 1-11 1 implies f z e S f where S f is the class of starlike functions of order f. Some results of Obradovic and Owa are extended. We also obtain some new results on starlikeness criterions. 1. Introduction Let n be a positive integer and let Hn denote the class of function to f z z 2 ak 1zk 1 k n that are analytic in the unit disk U z z 1 . For 0 f 1 let _ Í zf zl 1 S f f e H1 Re-fz f z e U f z denote the class of starlike function of order f and S 0 S . Let f z and F z be analytic in U then we say that the function f z is subordinate to F z in U if there exists an analytic function w z in U such that w z z and f z F w z denoted that f F or f z F z . If F z is univalent in U then the subordination is equivalent to f 0 F 0 and f U c FfU 1 . 2 Journal of Inequalities and Applications Let SX - f e H1 f z - 1 X z e U .
