Characterization and the pre-Schwarzian norm estimate for concave univalent functions (1008.4861v1)
Abstract: Let $Co(\alpha)$ denote the class of concave univalent functions in the unit disk $\ID$. Each function $f\in Co(\alpha)$ maps the unit disk $\ID$ onto the complement of an unbounded convex set. In this paper we find the exact disk of variability for the functional $(1-|z|2)\left ( f''(z)/f'(z)\right)$, $f\in Co(\alpha)$. In particular, this gives sharp upper and lower estimates for the pre-Schwarzian norm of concave univalent functions. Next we obtain the set of variability of the functional $(1-|z|2)\left(f''(z)/f'(z)\right)$, $f\in Co(\alpha)$ whenever $f''(0)$ is fixed. We also give a characterization for concave functions in terms of Hadamard convolution. In addition to sharp coefficient inequalities, we prove that functions in $Co(\alpha)$ belong to the $Hp$ space for $p<1/\alpha$.
