Abstract

Let 𝒦[C,D], 1D<C1, denote the class of functions g(z), g(0)=g(0)1=0, analytic in the unit disk U={z:|z|<1} such that 1+(zg(z)/g(z)) is subordinate to (1+Cz)/(1+Dz), z ϵ U. We investigate the subclasses of close-to-convex functions f(z), f(0)=f(0)1=0, for which there exists g ϵ 𝒦[C,D] such that f/g is subordinate to (1+Az)/(1+Bz), 1B<A1. Distortion and rotation theorems and coefficient bounds are obtained. It is also shown that these classes are preserved under certain integral operators.
