SUBRAMANIAN, and HERB SILVERMAN (Received 1 March 1999) Abstract. We investigate a family that connects various subclasses of functions convex in the unit disk. We also look at generalized sequences for this family. Keywords and phrases. Convex functions. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification. Primary 30C45. 1. Introduction. Denote by S the family of functions ∞ f (z) = z + a zk (1.1) k k=2 that are analytic and univalent in the unit disk ∆ = {z : |z | 1} and by K the family of convex functions f ∈ S for which Re (1 + zf /f ) 0, z ∈ ∆. There are several well-known subclasses of K . Robertson in [6] introduced the family K(α) of functions f convex of order α, 0 ≤ α 1, that satisfy in ∆ the inequality Re (1 +zf /f ) α. Ruscheweyh [8] defined the subclass D of K consisting of functions f for which Re f (z) ≥ |zf (z)|, z ∈ ∆. His convolution conjecture [8] for this class is stronger than the (former) Bieberbach conjecture (deBranges’ theorem). Goodman [2] introduced the family UCV ⊂ K of uniformly convex functions f having the property that for every circular arc γ contained in ∆ with center also in ∆, the image arc f (γ) is a convex arc. He then gave the two-variable characterization Re 1 + (z − ζ)f (z) 0, (z,ζ) ∈ ∆ ×∆.
