INTRODUCTION Let A denote the class of functions of the form z+ f(z) - oz Iz which are analytic in the open unit disk U { z < 1}. If f and g are analytic in U, we say that f is subordinate to g, written f g, if there exists a Schwarz function w(z) in U such that f(z) g(w(z)). A function f e A is said to be in the class S* [E, F] if zf’(z) l+Ez -< f() + FZ (z6U,-I<F<E<I) The class S*[E,F] was studied in [1,2]. In particular, S’[1 2c, 1] S’(c)(0 _< c < 1) is the well known class of starlike functions of order a. We observe [2] that a function f is in S"[E,F] if and only if f(z) 1-.F < 1-.F and Re zf’(z) } j(z)’ > E 1 2 (z 6 U,F 1). (1.3) A function f e A is said to be in the class B(p, a, ) if it satisfies Re{ Zf’(z)f"-I g,,() } >/(z e u) for some #(# > 0), (0 _< < I) and g e S*(o). Furthermore, we denote BI(/, a,/) bythe subclass of B(/, a, ,O) for g(z) =_ z e S* (a). The classes B(, a,/) and B (/, a, ) are the subclasses of Bazilevi6 functions in U [3]. We also note that B(I, a,/) C(a,/) is an important subclass of closeto-convex functions [4]. For a positive real number # > 0 and a function f A, we define the integral operator Jc., by 370 N.E. CliO, I. H KIM AND J. A KIM Jcu(f) c+# tc-l fu(t)dt ;(c > (1 4) Kumar and Shukla [5] showed that the integral operator Jc,u(f) defined by (1.4) belongs to the class S*[E,F] for c >_ u(g-:l)l_F, whenever f S’[E,F]. The operator Je.1, when c N {1,2,3, .}, was introduced by Bemardi [6]. Further, the operator J. was studied earlier by Libera [7] and Livingston [8]. In the present paper, we give some argument properties of the integral operator defined by (1.4). We also generalize the previous results of Libera [7], Owa and Srivastava [9] and Owa and Obradovi6 10]. MAIN RESULTS In proving our main results, we shall need the following lemmas. LEMMA 1 ([11]). Let M(z) and N(z) be regular in U with M(0) N(0) 0, and let/ be real. If N(z) maps U onto a (possibly many-sheeted) region which is starlike with respect to the origin, then 2. Re N’(z) > (z e U) = Re M(z) < ,O(z U) = Re N(’z) and Re N.t{z) LEMMA 2 ([12]). Let p(z) be analytic in U, p(0) exists a point zo U such that Iv()l < fo < (z U). 1, p(z) :/:. 0 in U and suppose that there I1 < Iol and where/ > 0. Then we have o’(o) ik, where whvn argp(zo) r 2 and a+-a k<-1(1) when argp(zo) 2 where p(o) + m( > o). With the help of Lemma and Lemma 2, we now derive THEOREM 1. Let c and # be real numbers with c > 0, .fA If > 0 and 1 < F < E < 1 and let - ANGULAR ESTIMATIONS OF CERTAIN INTEGRAL OPERATORS S" [E, F], then for some g < 3 71 T(0_< <1,0<_<1) where arc,. is the imegral operator defined by (1.4) and r/(O < r/_< 1) is the solution of the equation 6 {2(rsin(1-t(E,F))) " -1 7+-Tan 7r c + I+F +rlcos ’(1 r] when _ 2 tc(E,F) PROOF. Let us put where M(z) 8in_ 7r zf, (z) E- F (2.1) (2.2) M(z) N(z)’ tC-tg(t)dt t-If"(t)dt t1 c 1 for F= -1, ( c(1-F2)+I-EF p(z)- 1 for F :/: tc(E,F)) and N(z) Then p(z) is analytic in Uwith p(0) 1. M’(z) N’(z) tc- gu(t)dt. # By a simple calculation, we have N(z) p(z) 1 + zp’(z)) zN’(z) p(z) 1(zf’(z)f"-(z) ) - Since g e S*[E,F], J.(g) e S*[E,F] [5] and hence N(z) is (possibly many-sheeted) starlike function with respect to the origin. Therefore, from our assumption and Lemma 1, p(z) 0 in U. If there exists a point zo 6 U such that [argv(z)[< and then, from Lemma 2, we have for Izl < Izol 0p’ (o) where when arg p(zo - 372 N.E.

Similarly, for the case F 1, we (f()F-() ) These are a contradiction to the assumption of our theorem. Next, suppose that p(zo) ia(a > 0). For the case F above, we have arg(zf’(z)fz-(z) < "Tr Tan_ ( 4= 1, applying the same method as the nsin(1-t(E,F)) -[- I+EI+F /7]C08 "(1 where t(E,F) and 6 are given by (2.2) and (2.1), respectively and for the case F 1, we have ANGULAR ESTIMATIONS OF CERTAIN INTEGRAL OPERATORS arg /’()/"- () g"(zo) 373 ) ’ B < 2 which are contradictions to the assumption. Therefore we complete the proof of our theorem. 1 in Theorem 1, we have Taking E 1 2a(0 < a < 1) and F COROLLARY 1. Let c _> 0, # > 0 and f E A.

COROLLARY 5. If the function f defined by (1.1) is in the class C(c,/), then the integral operator Jc,1 (f)(c > 0) defined by (1.4) is also in the class c(a,/). REMARK 2. Taking c =/ 0 and c 1 in Corollary 5, we obtain the result given earlier by Libera [7] 374 N.E. CliO, I. H. KIM AND J. AKIM - By using the same technique as in proving Theorem 1, we have THEOREM 2. Let c and # be real numbers with c > 0,/ > 0 and fA.
