Introduction Let A denote the class of functions of the form f (z) = z + ∞ ∑ an z n , () n=2 which are analytic in the open unit disk U = {z : z ∈ C and |z| β; z ∈ U; 0 ≤ β β; z ∈ U; 0 ≤ β 0; z ∈ U . f (z) f (z) ∗Correspondence: orhanhalit607@ 2010 AMS Mathematics Subject Classification: 30C45. 679 ORHAN et al./Turk J Math In [17], it was shown that if the above analytical criteria hold for z ∈ U, then f is in the class of starlike functions S ∗ (0) for α real and is in the class of convex functions K(0) for α ≥ 1. In general, the class of α convexity. It is well known that every function f ∈ S has an inverse f −1 , defined by f −1 (f (z)) = z and f (f −1 (w)) = w (z ∈ U) ) ( 1 |w| 0 for c ∈ (0, 2), we conclude that Fγ1 γ1 Fγ2 γ2 − (Fγ1 γ2 )2 < .
