Abstract

We define the classes Gβ(α,k,γ) as follows: fGβ(α,k,γ) if and only if, for zE={z:|z|<1}, |arg{(1-α2z2)f(z)/eiβϕ(z)}|γπ/2, 0<γ1; α[0,1]; β(π/2,π/2), where ϕ is a function of bounded boundary rotation. Coefficient estimates, an inclusion result, arclength problem, and some other properties of these classes are studied.
