We obtain coefficient characterization, extreme points, and distortion bounds of certain classes of harmonic 𝑝-valent functions
defined by an integral operator.
1. Introduction
where
A continuous complex-valued function 𝑓 = 𝑢+𝑖𝑣 defined in a
simply connected complex domain 𝐷 is said to be harmonic
in 𝐷 if both 𝑢 and 𝑣 are real harmonic in 𝐷. In any simply
connected domain, we can write
𝑓 = ℎ + 𝑔,
(1)
where ℎ and 𝑔 are analytic in 𝐷. We call ℎ the analytic part
and 𝑔 the coanalytic part of 𝑓. A necessary and sufficient
condition for 𝑓 to be locally univalent and sense preserving
in 𝐷 is that |ℎ (𝑧)| > |𝑔 (𝑧)| in 𝐷 (see [1]).
Denote by 𝑆𝐻 the class of functions 𝑓 of the form (1) that
are harmonic univalent and sense preserving in the unit disc
𝑈 = {𝑧 : |𝑧| < 1} for which 𝑓(0) = 𝑓𝑧 (0) − 1 = 0.
Recently, Jahangiri and Ahuja [2] defined the class
H𝑝 (𝑝 ∈ N = {1, 2, 3, . . .}), consisting of all 𝑝-valent harmonic
functions 𝑓 = ℎ + 𝑔 that are sense preserving in 𝑈 and ℎ, and
𝑔 are of the form
∞
ℎ (𝑧) = 𝑧𝑝 + ∑ 𝑎𝑘 𝑧𝑘 ,
𝑘=𝑝+1
∞
𝑔 (𝑧) = ∑ 𝑏𝑘 𝑧𝑘 ,
𝑘=𝑝
𝑏𝑝 < 1.
(2)
For 𝑓 = ℎ + 𝑔 given by (2), we define the modified 𝑝𝑛
of 𝑓 (see [3] and also
valent Salagean integral operator 𝐼𝑝,𝜆
[4] when 𝑝 = 1) as follows:
𝑛

(𝑝 ∈ N; 𝜆 > 0; 𝑛 ∈ N0 ).
For 𝑝 ∈ N, 𝜆 > 0, 𝑛 ∈ N0 , 0 ≤ 𝛼 < 1, and 𝑧 ∈ 𝑈, we let
H𝑝,𝜆 (𝑛; 𝛼) denote the family of harmonic functions 𝑓 of the
form (2) such that

We let the subclass H−𝑝,𝜆 (𝑛; 𝛼) consists of harmonic
functions 𝑓𝑛 = ℎ + 𝑔𝑛 in H𝑝,𝜆 (𝑛; 𝛼) so that ℎ and 𝑔𝑛 are of
the form

We note that H−𝑝,1 (𝑛; 𝛼) = H−𝑝 (𝑛; 𝛼), where the class
−
H𝑝 (𝑛; 𝛼) was defined and studied by Cotirla [5].
In this paper, we obtain coefficient characterization of the
classes H𝑝,𝜆 (𝑛; 𝛼) and H−𝑝,𝜆 (𝑛; 𝛼). We also obtain extreme
points and distortion bounds for functions in the class
H−𝑝,𝜆 (𝑛; 𝛼).
