Region of variability for exponentially convex univalent functions (1005.4889v1)

Abstract: For $\alpha\in\IC\setminus {0}$ let $\mathcal{E}(\alpha)$ denote the class of all univalent functions $f$ in the unit disk $\mathbb{D}$ and is given by $f(z)=z+a_2z^2+a_3z^3+\cdots$, satisfying $$ {\rm Re\,} \left (1+ \frac{zf''(z)}{f'(z)}+\alpha zf'(z)\right)>0 \quad {in ${\mathbb D}$}. $$ For any fixed $z_0$ in the unit disk $\mathbb{D}$ and $\lambda\in\overline{\mathbb{D}}$, we determine the region of variability $V(z_0,\lambda)$ for $\log f'(z_0)+\alpha f(z_0)$ when $f$ ranges over the class $$\mathcal{F}_{\alpha}(\lambda)=\left{f\in\mathcal{E}(\alpha) \colon f''(0)=2\lambda-\alpha %\quad{and} f'''(0)=2[(1-|\lambda|^2)a+ %(\lambda-\alpha)^2 -\lambda\alpha] \right}. $$ We geometrically illustrate the region of variability $V(z_0,\lambda)$ for several sets of parameters using Mathematica. In the final section of this article we propose some open problems.
