the class of normalized analytic func-
tions which satisfy

involving functions in the class
. And we estimate the bounds of coefficients and solve Fekete-Szegö problem
for functions in this class. Furthermore, we investigate the bounds of initial coefficients of inverse functions or bi-uni-
valent functions.

This gives the bound on 2 as asserted in (19). Now,
