Abstract
In this paper, we introduce some classes of univalent harmonic functions with respect to the symmetric conjugate points by means of subordination, the analytic parts of which are reciprocal starlike (or convex) functions. Further, by combining with the graph of the function, we discuss the bound of the Bloch constant and the norm of the pre-Schwarzian derivative for the classes.

1. Introduction
Define as a class of analytic functions h of the form
where : .
Let , and be the subclasses of , which are composed of univalent functions, starlike functions and convex functions, respectively ([1,2]).
Let denote the class of analytic functions p with a positive real part on of the following form:
The function is called the Carathéodory function.
Suppose that the functions F and G are analytic in . The function F is said to be subordinate to the function G if there exists a function satisfying and , such that . Note that . In particular, if G is univalent in , the following conclusion follows (see [1]):
In 1994, Ma and Minda [3] introduced the classes and of starlike functions and convex functions by using the subordination. The function if and only if and the function if and only if , where and .
Let and . The classes and , which are the classes of Janowski starlike and convex functions, respectively (refer to [4]). and are known for the classes of starlike and convex function, respectively.
In 1959, Sakaguchi [5] introduced the class of starlike functions with respect to symmetric points. The function if and only if
In 1987, El Ashwah and Thomas [6] introduced the classes and of starlike functions with respect to conjugate points and symmetric conjugate points as follows:
Similarly to the previous section, the classes and can be further generalized to the classes and .
The function belongs to if and only if holds true and belongs to if and only if holds true, where and .
If the function meets the following criteria: , then h is said to be in the class of the reciprocal starlike functions of order , which is represented by .
In contrast to the classical starlike function class of order , the reciprocal starlike function class of order maps the unit disk to a starlike region within a disk with as the center and as the radius ([7]). In particular, the disk is large when . Therefore, the study of the class of reciprocal starlike functions has aroused the research interest of most scholars [8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15]. In 2012, Sun et al. [8] extended the reciprocal starlike function to the class of meromorphic univalent function.
For the analytic functions and , let be a class of harmonic mappings, which has the following form (see [16,17]):
where
Specifically, h is referred to as the analytical part, and g is known as the co-analytic part of f.
It is known that the function is locally univalent and sense-preserving in if and only if (see [18]).
Based on these results, it is possible to obtain the geometric properties of the co-analytic part by means of the analytic part of the harmonic function.
In the past few years, different subclasses of have been studied by several authors as follows.
In 2007, Klimek and Michalski [19] investigated the subclass with .
In 2014, Hotta and Michalski [20] investigated the subclass with .
In 2015, Zhu and Huang [21] investigated the subclasses of with and .
Combined with the above studies, by using the subordination relationship, this paper further constructs the reciprocal structure harmonic function class with symmetric conjugate points as follows.
Definition 1.
Let be in the class and have the form (3) and . We define the class as that of univalent harmonic reciprocal starlike functions with a symmetric conjugate point, the function if and only if , that is,
In addition, let define the class of harmonic univalent reciprocal convex functions with a symmetric conjugate point. The function if and only if , that is,
In this paper, we will discuss the harmonic Bloch constant and the norm of the pre-Schwarzian derivative for the classes.
For , the harmonic Bloch constant of f is
where
is the hyperbolic distance between z and w, and . If , then f is called the Bloch harmonic function. By (6), Colonna [22] proved that
Recently, many authors have studied the Bloch constant of harmonic functions (see [23,24]).
Let f be the analytic and locally univalent function in , and the pre-Schwarzian derivative of f is
and the norm of is defined as
Unlike the case of analytic functions, the pre-Schwarzian derivative of harmonic functions allows a variety of different definitions (see [25,26,27]).
In [27], Chuaqui–Duren–Osgood gives the following definition of the pre-Schwarzian derivative the harmonic function :
where . In fact, it is easy to see that the above definition is consistent with the classical pre-Schwarzian derivative of an analytic function.
In 2022, Xiong et al. [24] rewrite the pre-Schwarzian derivative as follows:
and the norm of the pre-Schwarzian derivative of the harmonic function f can be defined in terms of (9).
In this paper, we will give an inequality of f belonging to the class with respect to its pre-Schwarzian derivative. In particular, the bounds of the norm of the pre-Schwarzian derivative of f in the class is also determined.
