Abstract
In this study we introduce the new classes \(\mathcal{M}_{\alpha}(\sin)\) and \(\mathcal{M}_{\alpha}(\cos)\) of \(\alpha\)-convex functions associated with sine and cosine functions. Also, we obtain the initial coefficient bounds for the first five coefficients of the functions that belong to these classes. Further, we determine the upper bound of Zalcman functional for the class \(\mathcal{M}_{\alpha}(\cos)\) for the case \(n=3\), showing that the Zalcman conjecture holds for this value. Moreover, the problem of the Fekete-Szeg\H{o} functional estimate for these classes is studied.

1. Introduction and Preliminaries
Let be the class consists of all analytic and normalized functions f, where f has the form
and is the open unit disc; also, the subclass of consisting of univalent functions is denoted by .
Let us consider two analytic functions and in . The function is said to be subordinated to , written symbolically as , if there exists an analytic function in , with and for all , such that . Further, if is an univalent function in , then the following equivalence holds (see [1]):
The family of functions p analytic in satisfying the condition , , and of the form
is denoted by , that represents the well-known Carathéodory function class.
In [2] Mocanu introduced and studied the well-known class of α-convex functions, that is
and the properties of this class of functions was extensively studied during a long period by many researchers (see, for example [3,4,5]). In [6] it was proved that all -convex functions are univalent and starlike, while the subclass is called the class of starlike (normalized) functions in and represents the class of convex (normalized) functions in .
Definition 1.
Let us now define the new classes and , with , connected with the sine and cosine functions, respectively, as follows:
Remark 1. (i) Substituting the value of and in (3) we obtain the following subclasses which were studied in [7,8,9], respectively, that are
(ii) Taking in Equation (4) we obtain the subclass defined in [10], and by taking in Equation (4) we obtain the subclass .
(iii) Since the functions Φ and Ψ defined above have real positive parts in , and moreover (see the Figure 1A,B made with MAPLE™ computer software)
it follows that the classes and are subsets of the class , that is , .
The following lemmas are necessary to understand the proofs of our main results.
Lemma 1.
and for any complex number ζ we have
2. Initial Coefficients Estimates for the Classes and
In this section the coefficients of the functions of the classes and are analysed, and the upper bounds for the first five coefficients is obtained.
Proof.
If , then there exists a function that is analytic in and satisfy the conditions and for all , such that
Since f is of the form (1), it follows that
From the fact that and for all , if we define the function p by
we obtain that and
According to the above relation we get
and equating the corresponding coefficients of (9) and (10) we obtain
Using (12) we get
and from (5) we have , hence
The equality (14) leads to
and using the triangle inequality we get
From (5), (6) and of Lemma 1, the above inequality implies that
Now we will find an upper bound for the each term of the right hand side of the above inequality, as follows.
(i) According to (6) we have
whenever .
(ii) Using again the inequality (6) a simple computation shows that
whenever .
(iii) For the sum of the third with the fourth term, using the inequality (5) we obtain
Finally, using the upper bounds found to the items (i)–(v), from the inequality (16) we conclude that

Remark 2.
A simple computation shows that the upper bounds obtained in the Theorem 1 could be written in the following forms:
and
For and , Theorem 1 reduces to the following corollary:
Remark 3.
The upper bounds given by Theorem 1 are not the best possible, excepting those for the first two coefficients.
(i) Thus, for the case , the function
is the solution of the differential equation , , therefore . For we have
hence the estimations given by Theorem 1 are not sharp for and .
(ii) Similarly, for , the function
is the solution of the differential equation , , hence . For this function
thus the estimations of Theorem 1 are not sharp for and .
Theorem 2.
If has the form (1), then
Proof.
From (5) and Lemma 2 for the appropriate values , , and , the above inequality implies that
and all the estimations are proved. □
For and the Theorem 2 leads us to the following corollary.
Remark 4.
The estimations given by Theorem 2 are not the best possible, excepting those for the first two coefficients.
(i) Thus, for and if , then the inequality is sharp and it is attained for the function that satisfies the differential equation , , that is
(ii) Also, for and if , then the inequality is sharp being attained for the function that it is the solution of the differential equation , , and
3. The Fekete-Szego Inequality for the Classes and

4. The Zalcman Functional Estimate for the Class
Zalcman conjectured in 1960 that the coefficients of the functions having the form (1) satisfies the inequality
Further, the equality is obtained only for the Koebe function and its rotations. Like it was shown in [15,16] it implies the Bieberbach conjecture, that is , . It is noteworthy that for the above inequality is a well-known consequence of the Area Theorem and could be found in [1, Theorem 1.5]. In the recent years the Zalcman functional has been given a special interest by many researchers (see, for example, [17,18,19]).
In the next result, for we find the Zalcman functional upper bound for the class that allows us to prove that the Zalcman conjecture is holds in this case.
Theorem 4.
If has the form (1), then
Proof.
Since
using the result of the Theorem 4 we deduce that:
Corollary 4.
5. Conclusions
This paper mainly focuses on finding the upper bounds of the first five coefficients for the classes and of -convex functions connected with the sine and cosine function. Also, we obtained the estimate for Fekete-Szego functional for these classes, we found the upper bound for Zalcman functional for these class for the case , and this allows us to prove that the Zalcman inequality holds for this case.
Like we mentioned in the Remarks 3 and 4 the upper bounds we get for and for the functions that belong to the classes and are not the best possible, hence the estimation given in Theorem 4 is not sharp. The problem of finding the best bounds of the above mentioned coefficients and functionals for these classes remains an interesting open question.
