Abstract

In this paper, upper bounds for the fourth-order Hankel determinant for the function class associated with the sine function are given.

1. Introduction

Let denote the class of functions which are analytic in the open unit disk of the form and let denote the subclass of consisting of univalent functions.

Suppose that is the class of analytic functions normalized by and satisfying the condition

Assume that and are two analytic functions in . Then, we say that the function is subordinate to the function , and we write if there exists a Schwarz function with and , such that (see [1])

In 2018, Cho et al. [2] introduced the following function class : which implies that the quantity lies in an eight-shaped region in the right-half plane.

In 1976, Noonan and Thomas [3] stated the Hankel determinant for and of functions as follows:

In particular, we have

Since thus

We note that is the well-known Fekete-Szegö functional (see [46]).

In recent years, many papers have been devoted to finding upper bounds for the second-order Hankel determinant and the third-order Hankel determinant , whose elements are various classes of analytic functions; it is worth mentioning that [720]. For instance, Murugusundaramoorthy and Bulboacă [21] defined a new subclass of analytic functions and got upper bounds for the Fekete-Szegö functional and the Hankel determinant of order two for Islam et al. [22] examined the -analog of starlike functions connected with a trigonometric sine function and discussed some interesting geometric properties, such as the well-known problems of Fekete-Szegö, the necessary and sufficient condition, the growth and distortion bound, closure theorem, and convolution results with partial sums for this class. Zaprawa et al. [23] obtained the bound of the third Hankel determinant for the univalent starlike functions. Very recently, Arif et al. [24] studied the problem of fourth Hankel determinant for the first time for the class of bounded turning functions and successfully obtained the bound of . Recently, Khan et al. [25] discussed some classes of functions with bounded turning which are connected to the sine functions and obtained upper bounds for the third- and fourth-order Hankel determinants related to such classes. Inspired by the aforementioned works, in this paper, we mainly investigate upper bounds for the fourth-order Hankel determinant for the function class associated with the sine function.

3. Conclusion

In the present paper, we mainly get upper bounds of the fourth-order Hankel determinant of starlike functions connected with the sine function. However, the results obtained in this paper are not sharp. In the future, we will consider the sharpness of the results. Also, we can discuss the related research of the fifth-order Hankel determinant and fifth-order Toeplitz determinant for this function class.
