Hengartner and Schober [4] considered the class of functions which are harmonic, meromorphic, orientation e = {z : |z| > 1} so that f (∞) = ∞. Such preserving and univalent in U functions admit the representation f (z) = h(z) + g(z) + A log |z| , where ∞ X h(z) = αz + an z −n , g(z) = βz + n=1 ∞ X (1) bn z −n n=1 e = {z = |z| > 1} , α, β, A ∈ C with 0 ≤ |β| ≤ |α| and w(z) = are analytic in U e P0 denotes a class of functions fz /fz is analytic with |w(z)| < 1 for z ∈ U. PH0 of the form (1) with α = 1, β = 0. The class H has been studied in various research papers such as [5], [6] and [7]. Theorem 1.1. [4] If f ∈ P0 H, then the diameter Df of C \ f (U), satisfies Df ≥ 2 |1 + b1 | . This estimate is sharp for f (z) = z + b1 /z + A log |z| whenever |b1 | < 1 and |A| ≤ 1 − |b1 |2 / |1 + b1 | , |b1 | = 1 and A = 0, or b1 = −1 and |A| ≤ 2. A function is said to be meromorphic if poles are its only singularities in the complex plane C. Let Mp (p ∈ N0 = {1, 2, ...}) be a class of multivalent meromorphic functions of the form: ∞ h(z) = a−p X + an+p−1 z n+p−1 , a−p ≥ 0, an+p−1 ∈ C, z ∈ U∗ = U \ {0}.

A Bernardi type integral operator Ip,c (m ≥ 0, c > p) for meromorphic multivalent function h ∈ Mp is defined as : 0 Ip,c h(z) = h(z) Z c−p+1 z c 0 1 Ip,c h(z) = t Ip,c h(t)dt z c+1 Z0 z c−p+1 m−1 m tc Ip,c h(t)dt, m ≥ 1. Ip,c h(z) = z c+1 0 m The Series expansion of Ip,c h(z) for h(z) of the form (2) is given by ∞ m Ip,c h(z) a−p X m = p + θ (n) an+p−1 z n+p−1 (c > p, m ≥ 0) , z n=1 where (3) m c−p+1 . (4) θ (n) = n+p+c m c−p+1 m m Note that 0 < θ (n) < θ (1) = 1+p+c . For fixed integer p ≥ 1, denote by MH (p), a family of harmonic multivalent meromorphic functions of the form m f (z) = h(z) + g(z), z ∈ U∗ , (5) where h ∈ Mp with a−p > 0 of the form (2) and g ∈ Mp of the form g(z) = ∞ X bn+p−1 z n+p−1 , bn+p−1 ∈ C, z ∈ U. (6) n=1 In the expression (5) , h is called a meromorphic part and g co-meromorphic part of f . The class MH (p) with its subclass has been studied in [1] and [8] for a−p = 1. A quite similar to the above mentioned integral operator was used for harmonic analytic functions in [2]. In terms of the operator defined in Defininition 1.2, an operator f ∈ MH (p) is defined as follows: Definition 1.3. Let f = h + g be of the form (5) , the integral operator is defined as m Ip,c f (z) m m m g(z), z ∈ U∗ Ip,c f (z) = Ip,c h(z) + (−1)m Ip,c (7) 102 Harmonic multivalent meromorphic functions... m m the series expansions for Ip,c h(z) is given by (3) with a−p > 0 and for Ip,c g(z) with g(z) of the form (6) is given as: m Ip,c g(z) ∞ X = θm (n)bn+p−1 z n+p−1 (c > p, m ≥ 0) . (8) n=1 m Involving operator Ip,c define by (7), a class MH (p, α, m, c) of functions f ∈ MH (p) is defined as follows: Definition 1.4. A function f ∈ MH (p) is said to be in MH (p, α, m, c) if and only if it satisfies Re m Ip,c f (z) m+1 f (z) Ip,c > α, z ∈ U∗ , 0 ≤ α < 1, c > p, m ∈ N. (9) Let MH (p, α, m, c) be a subclass of MH (p, α, m, c), consists of harmonic multivalent meromorphic functions fm = hm + gm , where hm and gm are of the form ∞ a−p X hm (z) = p − |an+p−1 | z n+p−1 , a−p > 0 z n=1 and gm (z) = (−1)m+1 ∞ X (10) |bn+p−1 | z n+p−1 . n=1 2 Some results for the class MH (p) In this section, some results for MH (p) class are derived. Theorem 2.1. Let f ∈ MH (p) be of the form (5), then the diameter Df of clf (U∗ ) satisfies Df ≥ 2 |a−p | . This estimate is sharp for f (z) = a−p z −p . 103 Amit Kumar Yadav Proof. Let Df (r) denotes the diameter of clf (U∗r )(r), where U∗r (r) = {z : 0 < |z| < r, 0 < r < 1} and Df∗ (r) := max |f (z) − f (−z)| . |z|=r Since Df∗ (r) ≥ Df (r), it follows that 2 Df∗ (r) 1 ≥ 2π " = 4 " Z2π 0 f (reiθ ) − f (−reiθ )2 dθ 2 ∞ X |a−p | + |a2n+p−2 |2 + |b2n+p−2 | 2p r n=1 2 # r2(2n+p−2) , p is odd # ∞ |a−p |2 X + = 4 |a2n+p−1 |2 + |b2n+p−1 |2 r2(2n+p−1) , p is even 2p r n=1 ≥ 4 |a−p |2 , r2p noted that as r −→ 1, Df (r) decreases to Df , which concludes the result. Remark 2.2. [4]Taking p = 1, a−p = 1 and w(z) := f (1/z) in Theorem 2.1, same result as Theorem 1.1 has been obtained for w(z), which is of the form (1) with A = 0. Theorem 2.3. If f ∈ MH (p) be of the form (5), then ∞ X n=1 (n + p − 1) |an+p−1 |2 − |bn+p−1 |2 ≥ p |a−p |2 . Equality occurs if and only if C\f (U∗ ) has zero area. Proof.

Remark 2.4. [4]Taking p = 1, a−p = 1 and w(z) := f (1/z) in Theorem P 2.3, then for w ∈ 0H ,with A = 0, it follows that ∞ X n=1 3 n |an |2 − |bn |2 ≤ 1 + 2<b1 . Coefficient Conditions In this section, sufficient coefficient condition for a functiom f ∈ MH (p) to be in MH (p, α, m, c) class is established and then it is shown that this coefficient condition is necessary for its subclass MH (p, α, m, c). Theorem 3.1. Let f (z) = h(z) + g(z) be the form (5) and θm (n) is given by (4) if ∞ X θm (n) 1 − αθ1 (n) |an+p−1 | + 1 + αθ1 (n) |bn+p−1 | ≤ (1 − α)a−p , (11) n=1 holds for 0 ≤ α < 1 and m ∈ N, then f (z) is harmonic in U∗ and f ∈ MH (p, α, m, c). Proof. Let the function f (z) = h(z) + g(z) be the form (5) satisfying (11). In order to show f ∈ MH (p, α, m, c), it suffices to show that m Ip,c f (z) Re >α (12) m+1 f (z) Ip,c or, Re ( m m g(z) Ip,c h(z) + (−1)m Ip,c m+1 h(z) + (−1)m+1 I m+1 g(z) Ip,c p,c ) >α where z = reiθ , 0 < r ≤ 1, 0 ≤ θ ≤ 2π and 0 ≤ α < 1. Let m m g(z) A(z) := Ip,c h(z) + (−1)m Ip,c (13) and m+1 m+1 g(z). B(z) := Ip,c h(z) + (−1)m+1 Ip,c (14) 105 Amit Kumar Yadav It is observed that (12) holds if |A(z) + (1 − α)B(z)| − |A(z) − (1 + α)B(z)| ≥ 0. (15) From (13) and (14) , it follows that |A(z) + (1 − α)B(z)| m m g(z) + (1 − α) I m+1 h(z) + (−1)m+1 I m+1 g(z) h(z) + (−1)m Ip,c = Ip,c p,c p,c ∞ a−p X m θ (n) + (1 − α)θm+1 (n) an+p−1 z n+p−1 = (2 − α) p + z n=1 ∞ X +(−1)m θm (n) − (1 − α)θm+1 (n) bn+p−1 z n+p−1 n=1 ≥ (2 − α)a−p |z|p ∞ X − θm (n) 1 + (1 − α)θ1 (n) |an+p−1 | |z|n+p−1 − n=1 ∞ X m n=1 and θ (n) 1 − (1 − α)θ1 (n) |bn+p−1 | |z|n+p−1 |A(z) − (1 + α)B(z)| m m g(z) − (1 + α) I m+1 h(z) + (−1)m+1 I m+1 g(z) h(z) + (−1)m Ip,c = Ip,c p,c p,c ∞ a−p X m θ (n) − (1 + α)θm+1 (n) an+p−1 z n+p−1 = (−α) p + z n=1 ∞ X m m m+1 n+p−1 +(−1) θ (n) + (1 + α)θ (n) bn+p−1 z n=1 ∞ a −p X m = α p − θ (n) − (1 + α)θm+1 (n) an+p−1 z n+p−1 z n=1 ∞ X m m m+1 n+p−1 −(−1) θ (n) + (1 + α)θ (n) bn+p−1 z n=1 ∞ a−p X m θ (n) 1 − (1 + α)θ1 (n) |an+p−1 | |z|n+p−1 ≤ α p+ |z| n=1 ∞ X + θm (n) 1 + (1 + α)θ1 (n) |bn+p−1 | |z|n+p−1 . n=1 106 Harmonic multivalent meromorphic functions... Thus |A(z) + (1 − α)B(z)|−|A(z) − (1 + α)B(z)| ∞ X 2(1 − α)a−p ≥ − 2 θm (n) 1 − αθ1 (n) |an+p−1 | |z|n+p−1 p |z| n=1 −2 2 ≥ |z|p ( n=1 θm (n) 1 + αθ1 (n) |bn+p−1 | |z|n+p−1 ∞ X a−p (1 − α) − θm (n) 1 − αθ1 (n) |an+p−1 | |z|n−1 n=1 − ( ∞ X ∞ X θm (n) 1 + αθ1 (n) |bn+p−1 | |z|n−1 n=1 ≥ 2 (1 − α)a−p − ≥ 0, ∞ X θm (n) n=1 ) 1 − αθ1 (n) |an+p−1 | + 1 + αθ1 (n) |bn+p−1 | if (11) holds. This proves the Theorem. Theorem 3.2. Let fm = hm +gm where hm and gm are of the form (10) then fm ∈ MH (p, α, m, c) under the same parametric conditions taken in Theorem 3.1, if and only if the inequality (11) holds. Proof. Since MH (p, α, m, c) ⊂ MH (p, α, m, c), if part is proved in Theorem 3.1. It only needs to prove the “only if” part of the Theorem. For this, it suffices to show that fm ∈ / MH (p, α, m, c) if the condition (11) does not hold. If fm ∈ MH (p, α,nm, c), o then writing corresponding series expansions in (9) , it ξ(z) follows that Re η(z) ≥ 0 for all values of z in U∗ where ∞ ξ(z) = (1 − α) a−p X m 1 + θ (n) 1 − αθ (n) |an+p−1 | z n+p−1 zp n=1 − ∞ X n=1 and θm (n) 1 + αθ1 (n) |bn+p−1 | z n+p−1 ∞ ∞ X a−p X m+1 n+p−1 θ (n) |an+p−1 | z − θm+1 (n) |bn+p−1 | z n+p−1 . η(z) = p + z n=1 n=1 ) 107 Amit Kumar Yadav Since ξ(z) ξ(z) η(z) ≥ Re η(z) ≥ 0, n o ξ(z) hence the condition Re η(z) ≥ 0 holds if (1 − α)a−p − ∞ P θm (n) [(1 − αθ1 (n)) |an+p−1 | + (1 + αθ1 (n)) |bn+p−1 |] rn+2p−1 n=1 a−p + ∞ P θm+1 (n) |a n=1 n+p−1 | rn+2p−1 + ∞ P ≥ 0. θm+1 (n) |b n+p−1 | rn+2p−1 n=1 (16) Now if the condition (11) does not holds then the numerator of above equation is non-positive for r sufficiently close to 1, which contradicts that fm ∈ MH (p, α, m, c) and this proves the required result. 4 Bounds and Extreme Points In this section, bounds for functions belonging to the class MH (p, α, m, c) are obtained and also provide extreme points for the same class. Theorem 4.1. If fm = hm + gm ∈ MH (p, α, m, c) for 0 ≤ α < 1, 0 < |z| = r < 1, and θm (n) is given by (4), under the same parametric conditions taken in Theorem 3.1 then m a−p p (1 − α)a−p Ip,c fk (z) ≤ a−p + rp (1 − α)a−p . ≤ − r rp [1 − αθ1 (1)] rp [1 − αθ1 (1)] m fm Proof.
