General Mathematics Vol. 11, No. 1–2 (2003), 47–52 A new differential inequality I Georgia Irina Oros and Adriana Cătaş Dedicated to Professor dr. Gheorghe Micula on his 60th birthday Abstract We find conditions on the complex-valued functions A and B, in the unit disc U such that the differential inequality 3 Re [A(z)p2 (z)+B(z)p(z)+α(zp0 (z)) −β(zp0 (z))2 +γ(zp0 (z))+δ] > 0 implies Re p(z) > 0, where α ≥ 0, β ≥ 0, γ ∈ R, 3 βn2 γn δ < αn + 8 4 + 2 and p ∈ H[1, n]. 2000 Mathematical Subject Classification: 30C80 Keywords: differential subordination, dominant. 47 48 Georgia Irina Oros and Adriana Cătaş 1 Introduction and preliminaries We let H[U ] denote the class of holomorphic functions in the unit disc U = {z ∈ C : | z |< 1}. For a ∈ C and n ∈ N∗ we let H[a, n] = {f ∈ H[U ], f (z) = a + an z n + an+1 z n+1 + ..., z ∈ U } and An = {f ∈ H[U ], f (z) = z + an+1 z n+1 + an+2 z n+2 + ..., z ∈ U } with A1 = A. In order to prove the new results we shall use the following lemma, which is a particular form of Theorem 2.3.i[1,p.35]. Lemma A. [1,p.35]. Let ψ : C2 × U → C a function which satisfies Re ψ(ρi, σ; z) ≤ 0, where ρ, σ ∈ R, 2 σ ≤ −n 2 (1 + ρ ) z ∈ U and n ≥ 1. If p ∈ H[1, n] and Re ψ (p(z), zp0 (z); z) > 0 then Re p(z) > 0.
