1. Definitions and preliminaries
Let
denote the class of all analytic functions
f defined in the open unit disk
and normalized by the conditions
and
. Thus, each
has a Taylor–Maclaurin series expansion of the form
Further, let denote the class of all functions which are univalent in .
Let the functions
f and
g be analytic in
. We say that the function
f is subordinate to
g, written as
, if there exists a function
, which is analytic in
with
such that
Besides, if the function
g is univalent in
, then the following equivalence holds:
It is well known that every function
has an inverse
, defined by
and
Suppose that
has an analytic continuation to
. Then, the function
f is said to be bi-univalent in
if both
f and
are univalent in
. In this case let
and let
denote the class of bi-univalent functions in
given by (
1). Examples of functions in the class
are, for example
However, the familiar Koebe function is not a member of
, while other common examples of analytic functions in
such
are also not members of
. Lewin [
1] investigated the bi-univalent function class
and showed that
. Subsequently, Brannan and Clunie [
2] conjectured that
. Netanyahu [
3], on the other hand, showed that
. The coefficient estimate problem for each of the Taylor–Maclaurin coefficients
for
,
, is presumably still an open problem.
Similar to the familiar subclasses
and
of starlike and convex function of order
,
, respectively, Brannan and Taha [
4] (see also [
5]) introduced certain subclasses of the bi-univalent function class
, namely the subclasses
and
of bi-starlike functions and of bi-convex functions of order
,
, respectively. For each of the function classes
and
they found non-sharp estimates of the first two Taylor–Maclaurin coefficients
and
. In fact, Srivastava et al. [
6] have actually revived the study of analytic and bi-univalent functions in recent years for some intriguing examples of functions and characterization of the class
(see [
6,
7,
8,
9,
10,
11,
12,
13,
14]).
The Fekete-Szegő functional
for
is well known for its rich history in the field of Geometric Function Theory. Its origin was in the disproof by Fekete and Szegő [
15] conjecture of Littlewood and Paley, that the coefficients of odd univalent functions are bounded by unity. This functional has since received great attention, particularly for many subclasses of the family of univalent functions. The problem of finding the sharp bounds for this functional of any compact family of functions
for any complex
is commonly known as the classical Fekete-Szegő problem (or inequality).
Gregory coefficients . Gregory coefficients also known as reciprocal logarithmic numbers, Bernoulli numbers of the second kind, or Cauchy numbers of the first kind, are the decrease rational numbers
. They occur in the Maclaurin series expansion of the reciprocal logarithm
These numbers are named after James Gregory who introduced them in 1670 in the numerical integration context. They were subsequently rediscovered by many mathematicians and often appear in works of modern authors, Laplace, Mascheroni, Fontana, Bessel, Clausen, Hermit, Pearson and Fisher.
In this paper we considered the generating function of the Gregory coefficients
(see [
16,
17]) to be given by
where the function log is considered at the main branch, that is
. Clearly,
for some values of
are
Finding the upper bound for the Taylor coefficients have been one of the vital topic of research in Geometric function theory as it offers numerous properties for many subclasses of As. Therefore, we will be inquisitive about the subsequent hassle in this segment: find
if
for subclasses of univalent functions. In particular, bound for the second one coefficient offers growth and distortion theorems for features of those subclasses. Further, the use of the Hankel determinants (which also deals with the bounds of the coefficients), and we mention that Cantor [
18] proved that “if ratio of two bounded analytic features in
, then the function is rational”.
2. Coefficient bounds of the class
In 2010 Srivastava et al. [
6] have actually revived the study of analytic and bi-univalent functions. Inspired by that, in this section we consider the class of analytic bi-univalent function relating with generating function of the Gregory coefficients to obtain initial coefficients
and
.
Definition 1.
A function given by (1) is said to be in the class if the following subordinations
are satisfied, and the function is defined by (2).
Remark 1.
1. For the function we have , , and using the 3D plot
of the MAPLE™ computer software, we obtain that the image of the open unit disk by the function
is positive, hence is a starlike (and also univalent) function with respect to the point 1 (see Figure 1).
2. We would like to emphasize that the class is not empty. Thus, if we consider , , then it is easy to check that , and moreover, with .
Using the fact that for all it follows that . For the particular case , using the2D plot
of the MAPLE™ computer software we obtain the image of the boundary by the functions , and shown in the Figure 2. Since is univalent in , the previous reason yields that the subordinations and hold whenever and (see Figure 2). Concluding, , hence the class is not empty and contains other functions than the identity.
In our first results we obtain the upper bounds for the modules of the first two coefficients for the functions that belong to the class
given in Definition 1. Further, we use the following lemmas, which were introduced by Zaprawa in [
19,
20] and we will discuss the Fekete-Szegő functional problems [
15].
Let , with , denotes the class of analytic functions p in with and , . Especially, we will use the notation instead of for the usual Carathéodory’s class of functions.
The next two lemmas will be used in our studies.
Lemma 1.
[21] If has the form , , then
and this inequality is sharp for each .
We mention that this inequality is the well-known result for the Carathéodory Lemma [
21] (see also [
22, Corollary 2.3, p. 41],
23, Carathéodory’s Lemma, p. 41]).
The second lemma is a generalization of Lemma 6 from [
20] that could be obtained for
:
Lemma 2.
[20, Lemma 7, p. 2] Let and . If and , then
The next result gives the upper bounds for the first two coefficients of the functions that belong to .
Theorem 1.
If is given by (1), then
Proof. If

3) and (4) hold. Then, there exists an analytic function
u in
with
and
,
, such that
and an analytic function
v in
with
and
,
, such that
Therefore, the function
belongs to the class
, hence
and
Similarly, the function
belongs to the class
, therefore
and
From the equalities (
6) and (
7) we obtain that
and
Since the function
g has the form (
2), upon comparing the corresponding coefficients in (
10) and (
11) we get
From (
12) and (14) it follows that
and
If we add the equalities (13) and (15) we get
and substituting the value of
from (
17) in the right hand side of (
18) we deduce that
Using (
5) together with the triangle’s inequality in the relations (
12) and (
19) it follows
that proves our first result.
Moreover, if we subtract (15) from (13) we obtain
and in view of (
16) the equality (
20) becomes
This relation combined with (
12) leads to
Using the triangle’s inequality and (
5), from (
22) we get
and using our first assertion together with (
21) it follows
which completes the proof of our theorem. □
Using the above values for and we will prove the following Fekete–Szegő type inequality for the functions of the class .
Theorem 2.
If is given by (1), then for any the next inequality holds:
Proof. If

1), from (
19) and (
21) we get

According to Lemma 1 we have
and we have
. Then, in view of Lemma 2 we obtain
which is equivalent to our result. □
3. Coefficient bounds for the class
In the second results we will obtain the upper bounds for the modules of the first two coefficients for the functions that belong to the class defined below, then we will study the Fekete-Szegő functional problems for this functions class.
Definition 2.
A function given by (1) is said to be in the class if the following subordinations hold:
where and is defined by (2).
By fixing or , we have the following special subclasses:

Remark 3. We will prove that appropriate choice of the parameter μ the class is not empty. Letting , , then it easily follows that , and additionally, with .
With the notations of (23) and (24) a simple computation shows that for all , which implies that . Taking the particular case and , by using the2D plot
of the MAPLE™ computer software we obtain the image of the boundary by the functions Φ, Ψ and presented in the Figure 3. Using the fact that is univalent in , the above reasons show that the subordinations and hold whenever and (see Figure 3). Therefore, , hence the class is not empty and contains other functions than the identity.
Theorem 3.
If is given by (1), then
Proof. If

1), from the Definition 2, for some analytic functions in

u and
v such that
and
,
for all
, we can write
and
From the equalities (
25) and (
26) combined with (
8) and (
9) we obtain
and
Thus, upon equating the first coefficients of (
27) and (
28) we have
From (
29) and (31) it follows that
and
that is
If we add (30) and (32) we get
and substituting the value of
from (
34) in the right hand side of (
36) we deduce that
that is
From the same reasons like in the proof of Theorem 1, using (
5) in (
29), (
35) and (
37) we find that
A simple computation shows that whenever , hence we obtain our first inequality.
Moreover, if we subtract (30) from (32) we obtain
In view of (
33) and (
35) the relation (
38) becomes
and using the triangle’s inequality together with (
5) we conclude that
Also, taking into the account the relation (
35) the formula (
39) could be rewritten as
and from the triangle’s inequality together with (
5) using the fact that
it follows
Since it’s easy to check that for , our second inequality is proved. □
The next result gives us an upper bound for the fekete–Szegő functional for the class .
Theorem 4.
If is given by (1), then
Proof. If
, using the same notations like in the proof of the previous theorem, from (
37) and (
40) we get
where
is given by (
42). According to Lemma 2, from the inequality (
5) we obtain the conclusion (
41). □
For and the above theorem reduces to the following two results, respectively:
Example 1.

4. Coefficient bounds of the class
In this section we will obtain the upper bounds for the modules of the first two coefficients for the functions that belong to the class that will be introduced, and we will find an upper bound for the Fekete-Szegő functional for this class.
Definition 3.
A function given by (1) is said to be in the class if the following subordinations are satisfied:
where and is defined by (2).
Remark 4. Note that by fixing we get as it was given in the Example 2. For we obtain the class .
Remark 5. We will prove that for convenient choice of the parameter λ the class is not empty. Taking , , it could be easily shown that and with .
Using the notations of the Definition 3 it is easy to check that for all , hence . Taking the particular case , , and using the 2D plot
of the MAPLE™ computer software we obtain the image of the boundary by the functions Θ, Λ and presented in the Figure 4. Since the function is univalent in , hence the subordinations and hold because , and (see Figure 4). Hence , therefore the class is not empty and contains other functions than the identity.
In the following theorem we will determine the results for the initial coefficients bounds of the class .
Theorem 5.

, namely
u and
v such that
and

for all
, with
With the same notations like in the proof of the Theorem 3, from the equalities (
43) and (44) we obtain that

Equating the corresponding coefficients in (
45) and (
46) we have
and
The relations (
47) and (
49) lead to
and
that is
If we add (48) and (50) we get
and substituting the value of
from (
52) in the right hand side of (
53) we deduce that
hence
Using (
5) of Lemma 1 and the triangle’s inequality in (
52) and (
54) we obtain
that proves our first inequality.
If we subtract (50) from (48) we obtain
and in view of (
51) and (
52) the above relation leads to
Using again Lemma 1 and the triangle’s inequality it follows that
Similarly, in view of (
54) and (
51) the relation (
55) could be written as
and from Lemma 1 and the triangle’s inequality we conclude that
and this proves the second result. □
To determine the upper bound of the Fekete–Szegő functional for the class we will use the following lemma:
Lemma 3.

the above relation could be rewritten in the form
Thus,
and substituting the value
and
in the above last equality we obtain
Now we will determine the maximum of
H on

Also,
if and only if

H is an increasing function on
, and consequently
and the estimation (
56) is proved. □
5. Conclusions
In our present investigation we have introduced and studied the initial coefficient problems associated with each of the new subclasses
,
and
of the well-known bi-univalent class
. These bi-univalent function subclasses are given by Definitions 1 2, and 3 respectively. For the functions in each of these bi-univalent subclasses we have obtained the estimates of the Taylor–Maclaurin coefficients
and
, and we gave solutions for the Fekete-Szegő functional problems. New results are shown to follow upon specializing the parameters involved in our main results as given in Remark 2 for the class of bi-starlike and bi-convex functions associated with Gregory coefficients which are new and not yet studied sofar. Further we can extend these type of studies based on generalized telephone numbers (see [
25,
26,
27]).
