Since u and v are real parts of analytic functions, f admits a representation f = h + g for two functions h and g, analytic on U . The Jacobian of f is given by Jf (z) = |h0 (z)|2 − |g 0 (z)|2 . The necessary and sufficient conditions for f to be local univalent and sense-preserving is Jf (z) > 0, z ∈ U [1]. Many mathematicians studied the class of harmonic univalent and sensepreserving functions on U and its subclasses [2, 5]. Here we discuss two classes obtained by the Hadamard product.

If the function fz +fz = h0 +g 0 belongs to PH for the analytic and normalized functions ∞ ∞ X X (2.1) h(z) = z + an z n and g(z) = bn z n , n=2 n=2 then the class of functions f = h + g is denoted by PeH0 [5].

For f ∈ PeH0 , we denote, by PeH0 (α), the class of functions defined by F = f ∗ (tα + tα ). (2.3) Here f ∗ (tα + tα ) is the Hadamard product of the functions f and tα + tα .

Furthermore, if α = 0, then as F = f , we have PeH0 (0) = PeH0 . Moreover PeH0 (∞) = {I : I(z) ≡ z, z ∈ U } and since I ∈ PeH0 , PeH0 ∩ PeH0 (α) 6= φ. Theorem 2.1. If F ∈ PeH0 (α) then there exists f ∈ PeH0 so that On Harmonic Functions Constructed by the Hadamard Product α[zFz (z) + zFz (z)] + (1 − α)F (z) = f (z). (2.5) Conversely, for any function f ∈ PeH0 , there exists F ∈ PeH0 (α) satisfying (2.5). Metin Öztürk, Sibel Yalçin and Mümin Yamankaradeniz Proof. Let F ∈ PeH0 (α).

On Harmonic Functions Constructed by the Hadamard Product Metin Öztürk, Sibel Yalçin and Mümin Yamankaradeniz Corollary 2.2. A function F = H + G of the form (2.4) belongs to PeH0 (α), if and only if (2.7) Re{z(αH 00 (z) + αG00 (z)) + H 0 (z) + G0 (z)} > 0, z ∈ U. Proof. If F = H + G ∈ PeH0 (α), then from Theorem 2.1 α[zH 0 (z) + zG0 (z)] + (1 − α)[H(z) + G(z)] = h(z) + g(z) ∈ PeH0 and h0 + g 0 ∈ PH . Hence 0 < Re{h0 (z) + g 0 (z)} = Re{αzH 00 (z) + αH 0 (z) + (1 − α)H 0 (z) +αzG00 (z) + αG0 (z) + (1 − α)G0 (z)} = Re{z(αH 00 (z) + αG00 (z)) + H 0 (z) + G0 (z)}.

Math. 3(1) Art. 9, 2002 http://jipam.vu.edu.au Conversely, if the function F = H + G of the form (2.4) satisfies (2.7), then by Theorem 2.1, h0 + g 0 ∈ PH and the function f (z) = h(z) + g(z) = α[zH 0 (z) + zG0 (z)] + (1 − α)(H(z) + G(z)) is from the class PeH0 . Hence by Theorem 2.1, F = H + G ∈ PeH0 (α). Proposition 2.3. PeH0 (α) is convex and compact. Proof. Let F1 = H1 + G1 , F2 = H2 + G2 ∈ PeH0 (α) and let λ ∈ [0, 1]. Then Re{z[α(λH100 (z) + (1 − λ)H200 (z)ᾱ(λG001 (z) + (1 − λ)G002 (z))] + λ[H10 (z) + G01 (z)] + (1 − λ)[H20 (z) + G02 (z)]} = λ Re{z[αH100 (z) + ᾱG001 (z)] + H10 (z) + G01 (z)} + (1 − λ) Re{z[αH200 (z) + ᾱG002 (z)] + H20 (z) + G02 (z)} > 0. Hence, from Corollary 2.2, λ F1 + (1 − λ)F2 ∈ PeH0 (α). Therefore, PeH0 (α) is convex. On the other hand, let Fn = Hn + Gn ∈ PeH0 (α) and let Fn → F = H + G. By Corollary 2.2, 0 α[zHn (z) + zGn (z)] + (1 − α)[Hn (z) + Gn (z)] ∈ PeH0 . Since PeH0 On Harmonic Functions Constructed by the Hadamard Product Metin Öztürk, Sibel Yalçin and Mümin Yamankaradeniz Title Page Contents JJ J II I Go Back 0 is compact, [5], 0 α[zH (z) + zG0 (z)] + (1 − α)[H(z) + G(z)] ∈ PeH0 . Hence, by Theorem 2.1, F = H + Ḡ ∈ PeH0 (α). Therefore, PeH0 (α) is compact. Close Quit Page 7 of 18 J. Ineq. Pure and Appl. Math. 3(1) Art. 9, 2002 http://jipam.vu.edu.au Proposition 2.4. If F = H + G ∈ PeH0 (α) and |z| = r < 1 then −r + 2 ln(1 + r) ≤ Re{α[zH 0 (z) + zG0 (z)] + (1 − α)[H(z) + G(z)]} ≤ −r − 2 ln(1 − r). Equality is obtained for the function (2.3) where f (z) = 2z + ln(1 − z) − 3z − 3 ln(1 − z), z ∈ U. Proof. From Theorem 2.1, if F = H + G ∈ PeH0 (α), then there exists f = h + ḡ ∈ PeH0 so that 0 0 α[zH (z) + zG (z)] + (1 − α)[H(z) + G(z)] = f (z).

Theorem 2.6. If Re α > 0, then PeH0 (α) ⊂ PeH0 . Further, for any 0 < Re α1 ≤ Re α2 , PeH0 (α2 ) ⊂ PeH0 (α1 ). Proof. Let F ∈ PeH0 (α) and Re α > 0. Then there exists f ∈ PeH0 so that F = H + G = f ∗ (tα + tα ) = (h ∗ tα ) + (g ∗ tα ). Hence, 0 < Re{h0 + g 0 } = Re{h0 + g 0 } and since Re α > 0, Re{H 0 + G0 } > 0, and H(0) = 0, H 0 (0) = 1, G(0) = G0 (0) = 0 and hence F = H + G ∈ PeH0 . For 0 < Re α1 ≤ Re α2 , if F ∈ PeH0 (α2 ), from Corollary 2.2 0 < Re{z(α2 H 00 (z) + α2 G00 (z)) + H 0 (z) + G0 (z)} ≤ Re{z(α1 H 00 (z) + α1 G00 (z)) + H 0 (z) + G0 (z)} we get F ∈ PeH0 (α1 ).
