A subclass of harmonic univalent functions with positive coefficients

Abstract

Complex-valued harmonic functions that are univalent and sense-preserving in the open unit disc $U$ can be written in the form $f=h+\bar g$, where $h$ and $g$ are analytic in $U$. In this paper authors introduce the class, $R_H(\beta)$, $(1<\beta \le 2)$ consisting of harmonic univalent functions $f=h+\bar g$, where $h$ and $g$ are of the form $ h(z)=z+ \sum_{k=2}^\infty |a_k|z^k $ and $ g(z)= \sum_{k=1}^\infty |b_k| z^k $ for which $\Re\{h'(z)+g'(z)\}<\beta$. We obtain distortion bounds extreme points and radii of convexity for functions belonging to this class and discuss a class  preserving integral operator. We also show that class studied in this paper is closed under convolution and convex combinations.
