Abstract. The purpose of the present paper is to introduce a newsubclass of harmonic univalent functions by using Multliplier transfor-mation. Coefficient estimates, distortion bounds, extreme points, con-volution condition and convex combination for functions belonging tothis class are determined. The results obtained for the class reduce tothe corresponding several known results are briefly indicated.

1. Introduction

A continuous complex-valued function f = u + iv defined in a simply-connected domain D is said to be harmonic in D if both u and v are realharmonic in D. In any simply-connected domain D, we can write f = h+g,where h and g are analytic in D. We call h the analytic part and g theco-analytic part of f. A necessary and sufficient condition for f to be locallyunivalent and sense-preserving in D is that |h′(z)| > |g′(z)|, z ∈ D. SeeClunie and Sheil-Small [2], for more basic results on harmonic functions onemay refer to the following standard text book by Duren [8], (see also [1] and[11]).

Denote by SH the class of functions f = h+ g which are harmonic univa-lent and sense-preserving in the open unit disk U = {z : |z| < 1} for whichf(0) = fz(0)− 1 = 0. Then for f = h+ g ∈ SH we may express the analyticfunctions h and g as

Note that SH reduces to the class S of normalized analytic univalent func-tions if the co-analytic part of its member is zero.

For this class the function f(z) may be expressed as

Cho and Srivastava [3], (see also [4]), introduced the operator Inλ : A → Adefined as

where A denote the class of functions of the form (2) which are analytic inthe open unit disc U .

For λ = 1, the operator Inλ ≡ In was studied by Uralegaddi and So-manatha [19] and for λ = 0 the operator Inλ reduce to well-known Salageanoperator introduced by Salagean [18].

Motivated with the definition of modified Salagean operator introducedby Jahangiri et al. [9], we define the modified multiplier transformation forf = h+ g given by (1) as

(4) Inλf(z) = Inλh(z) + (−1)nInλg(z), (n ∈ N0 = N ∪ {0}),where

Now, for 1 < β ≤ 43 , −1 < λ ≤ 1, n ∈ N0 and z ∈ U , suppose that

SH(n, λ, β) denote the family of harmonic functions f of the form (1) suchthat

(5) <

{In+1λ f(z)

where Inλf is defined by (4).Further, let the subclass V SH(n, λ, β) consisting of harmonic functions

In 1994 Uralegaddi et al. [20] introduced an analogous subclass of starlike,convex and close-to-convex functions with positive coefficients and openedup a new and interesting direction of research in Geometric Function Theory.In fact, they considered the functions of the form (2) where the coefficientsare positive. Motivated by the work of Uralegaddi et al. [20], several re-searchers (e.g. Dixit and Chandra [5], Dixit et al. [7], Porwal and Dixit[15], Porwal et al. [17]) introduce new subclasses of analytic functions withpositive coefficients. Recently, analogues to these results, Dixit and Porwal[6] introduced the class RH(β) of harmonic univalent functions with posi-tive coefficients and opened up a new direction of research in the theory of

Saurabh Porwal 77

harmonic univalent functions. After the appearence of this paper severalresearchers (e.g. see Pathak et al. [10], Porwal and Aouf [12], Porwal etal. [16]) generalized the result of [6] by using certain operator. Very re-cently Porwal and Dixit [13] (see also [14]) investigated new subclasses ofharmonic starlike and convex functions. In the present paper, analogues tothese results, we study the subclass of harmonic univalent functions definedby Multliplier transformation in which h has positive coefficients.

Assigning specific values to n, λ and β in the subclass SH(n, λ, β), weobtain the following known subclasses studied earlier by various researchers.

(1) If we put λ = 0 then it reduces to the class SH(n, β) studied byPorwal and Dixit [14].

(2) If we put n = 0, λ = 0 then it reduces to the class LH(β) studied byPorwal and Dixit [13].

(3) If we put n = 1, λ = 0 then it reduces to the class MH(β) studiedby Porwal and Dixit [13].

(4) If we put n = 0 and n = 1 with λ = 0, g ≡ 0, then it reduces to theclasses L(β) and M(β) studied by Uralegaddi et al. [20].

(5) For g ≡ 0 then it reduces to the class L(n, j, β) for j = 1 studied byDixit and Chandra [5].

In the present paper, we extend the above results to the families SH(n, λ, β)and V SH(n, λ, β). We also obtain extreme points, distortion bounds, con-volution conditions and convex combinations of functions belonging to theclass V SH(n, λ, β).

2. Main Results

We first prove a sufficient coefficient condition for function in SH(n, λ, β).

Theorem 2.1. Let f = h + g be such that h and g are given by (1). Fur-thermore, let

In the following theorem, it is shown that the condition (7) is also neces-sary for functions fn = h+ gn where h and gn are of the form (6).

Theorem 2.2. Let fn = h+ gn be given by (6).Then fn ∈ V SH(n, λ, β), if and only if

Proof. Since V SH(n, λ, β) ⊂ SH(n, λ, β), we only need to prove the “only if”part of the theorem. To this end, for functions fn of the form (6), we noticethat the condition

The above required condition (10) must hold for all values of z in U . Uponchoosing the values of z on the positive real axis where 0 ≤ z = r < 1, wemust have

If the condition (9) does not hold, then the numerator in (11) is negativefor r sufficiently close to 1. Hence there exists z0 = r0 in (0,1) for whichthe quotient in (11) is negative. This contradicts the required condition forfn ∈ V SH(n, λ, β) and so the proof is complete. �

Next, we determine the extreme points of closed convex hulls of V SH(n, λ, β)denoted by clco V SH(n, λ, β).

Theorem 2.3. Let fn be given by (6). Then fn ∈ V SH(n, λ, β), if and onlyif

(12) fn(z) =

∞∑k=1

(xkhk(z) + ykgnk(z)),

where

h1(z) = z,

hk(z) = z +β − 1(

and

In particular, the extreme points of V SH(n, λ, β) are {hk} and {gnk}.

Then note that by Theorem 2.2, 0 ≤ xk ≤ 1, (k = 2, 3, . . .) and 0 ≤ yk ≤

The following theorem gives the distortion bounds for functions in V SH(n, λ, β)which yields a covering result for the class.

The following covering result follows from the left hand inequality in The-orem 2.4.

Corollary 2.1. Let fn of the form (6) be so that fn ∈ V SH(n, λ, β). Then{ω : |ω| < (2 + λ)n (2− β + λ(1− β))− (1 + λ)n+1 (β − 1)

Theorem 3.1. Let fn(z) = h(z) + gn(z) ∈ SH be given by (6) and fn(z) ∈V SH(n, λ, β) then F (z) be defined by (14) also belong to V SH(n, λ, β).

Proof. From the representation of (14) of F (z), it follows that
