Abstract
In this paper we consider a subclass of strongly spirallike functions on the unit disk in the complex plane , namely, strongly almost spirallike functions of type and order . We obtain the growth results for strongly almost spirallike functions of type and order on the unit disk in by using subordination principles and the geometric properties of analytic mappings. Furthermore we get the growth theorems for strongly almost starlike functions of order and strongly starlike functions on the unit disk of . These growth results follow the deviation results of these functions.
1. Introduction
Growth theorems for univalent analytic functions are important parts in geometric function theories of one complex variable. In 1983, Duren [1] obtained the following well-known growth and deviation theorem.
Theorem 1 (see [1]). If is a normalized biholomorphic function on the unit disk , then
Many scholars tried to extend the beautiful results to the cases in several complex variables. However, Cartan [2] pointed out that the corresponding growth theorem does not hold in several complex variables. He suggested that we may consider the biholomorphic mappings with special geometrical characteristic, such as convex mappings and starlike mappings.
In 1991, Barnard et al. [3] obtained the growth theorems for starlike mappings on the unit ball in firstly. After that, there are a lot of followup studies. Gong et al. [4] extended the results to the cases on and obtained the growth theorems for starlike mappings on the bounded convex Reinhardt domains . Graham and Varolin [5] obtained the growth and covering theorems for normalized biholomorphic convex functions on the unit disk and also obtained the growth and covering theorems for normalized biholomorphic starlike functions on the unit disk by Alexander’s theorem. Liu and Ren [6] obtained the growth theorems for starlike mappings on the general bounded starlike and circular domains in . Liu and Lu [7] obtained the growth theorems for starlike mappings of order on the bounded starlike and circular domains. Feng and Lu [8] obtained the growth theorems for almost starlike mappings of order on the bounded starlike and circular domains. Honda [9] obtained the growth theorems for normalized biholomorphic -symmetric convex mappings on the unit ball in complex Banach spaces. In recent years, there are a lot of new results about the growth and covering theorems for the subclasses of biholomorphic mappings in several complex variables [10–12].
It can be seen that we can make a great breakthrough in the growth and covering theorems for the subclasses of biholomorphic mappings in several complex variables if we restrict the biholomorphic mappings with the geometrical characteristic. The mappings discussed focus on starlike mappings, convex mappings, and their subclasses.
In 1974, Suffridge extended starlike mappings and convex mappings and gave the definition of spirallike mappings. Gurganus [13] gave the definition of spirallike mappings of type in several complex variables. Hamada and Kohr [14] obtained the growth theorems for spirallike mappings on some domains. Later Feng [15] gave the definition of almost spirallike mappings of type and order on the unit ball in . Feng et al. [16] obtained the growth theorems for almost spirallike mappings of type and order on the unit ball in complex Banach spaces.
However, when we introduce the definition of the new subclasses of starlike mappings, convex mappings, and spirallike mappings, we always discuss them in firstly.
In [17], Cai and Liu gave the definition of strongly almost spirallike functions of type and order on the unit disk. They also discussed their coefficient estimates.
In this paper, we mainly discuss the growth theorems for strongly almost spirallike functions of type and order on , where is the unit disk. Moreover we get the growth theorems for strongly almost starlike functions of order and strongly starlike functions on . At last, we obtain the deviation results of these functions.
Definition 2 (see [17]). Suppose that is an analytic function on , , , , and Then is called a strongly almost spirallike function of type and order on .
We can get the definition of strongly spirallike functions of type [18], strongly almost starlike functions of order [19], and strongly starlike functions on [19] by setting , , and , respectively, in Definition 2.
In order to give the main results, we need the following lemmas.
Lemma 3 (see [1]). Let be an univalent analytic function on . Then if and only if , .
Lemma 4 (see [20]). represents a circle whose center is and whose radius is in , where
Lemma 5 (see [20]). Let be an analytic function on and . Then and for .
