A harmonic function f has the representation f = h(z) + g(z), where h(z) and g(z) are analytic in U and are called the analytic and co-analytic part of f , respectively. Let h(z) = z m +am+1 z m+1 +am+2 z m+2 +· · · , and g(z) = bm z m +bm+1 z m+1 +bm+2 z m+2 +· · · be analytic functions in the open unit disc D. The jacobian Jf of f = h(z) + g(z) is defined by Jf = |fz |2 −|fz |2 = |h (z)|2 −|g (z)|2 . If Jf (z) = |h (z)|2 −|g (z)|2 > 0 , then f = h(z) + g(z) is called a sense-preserving multivalent harmonic function in D. The class of all sense-preserving multivalent harmonic functions with |bm | 0 . If Jf (z) 0 for all z ∈ D, and such that p(z) ∈ P(m) if and only if for some function φ(z) ∈ Ω and every z ∈ D([2], [6]). ∞ Let C(A, B, m) denote the class of functions f(z) = z m + n=m+1 cn z n regular in D and satisfies the condition 1+z f (z) = p(z), f (z) () for some p(z) ∈ P(A, B, m) and every z ∈ D. Finally, a function f(z) = z m + ∞ n=m+1 dn z n is in the class of K(A, B, m) if there is a function φ(z) in C(A, B, m) such
