ABSTRACT
In this paper, using Salagean differential operator, we define and investigate a new subclass of univalent functions . We also establish a characterization property for functions belonging to the class .
Keywords:
Strongly Starlike Functions, Strongly Convex Functions, Salagean Differential Operator
1. Introduction
Let be the class of functions of the form
(1)
which are analytic in the unit disk . A function is said to be starlike of order if and only if
(2)
We denote by the subclass of consisting of functions which are starlike of order in .
Also, a function is said to be convex of order if and only if
(3)
We denote by the subclass of consisting of functions which are convex of order in .
If satisfies
(4)
then is said to be strongly starlike of order and type in , denoted by [1] .
If satisfies
(5)
then is said to be strongly convex of order and type in , denoted by [1] .
The following lemma is needed to derive our result for class .
Lemma (1) [2] [3] [4] [5] . Let a function be analytic in , if there exists a point such that
and with , then

where
And .
Definition 1. A function is said to be in the class if
(7)
For some .
Remark
When then is the class studied by [1] .
Definition 2. For functions the Salagean differential operator [6] is
The main focus of this work is to provide a characterization property for the class of functions belonging to the class .
2. Main Result
Theorem 1. If satisfies
for some then
Proof. Let
(8)
Taking the logarithmic differentiation in both sides of Equation (8), we have
(9)
Multiply Equation (9) through by , to get
(10)
Multiply Equation (10) by to obtain
(11)
Multiply Equation (11) through by 2 and divide through by to give
(12)
Multiplying Equation (12) by , and further simplifica-
tion, we obtain
(13)
therefore,
(14)
If a point which satisfies and
then by lemma [2]
and
Now,
(15)
Since,
(16)
(17)
But
Let
then
(18)
Hence, .
It implies that
is a minimum
point of .
Therefore, we have that
(19)
which contradicts the condition of the theorem.
Hence, it is concluded from lemma [2] that

so that
