1. Introduction
Complex analysis is a fundamental discipline within the mathematical sciences, extensively studied due to its broad applicability in areas such as engineering, electronics, and nonlinear integrable systems theory, among others. Notably, the theory of geometric functions forms an intriguing research direction within complex analysis, focusing on the exploration of geometric properties and characteristics of analytic functions.
Within geometric function theory, the precise estimation of coefficients and the analysis of Hankel determinants for analytic and univalent functions have constituted a central research area for decades. Although these concepts are distinct, they are intimately associated, offering crucial information about the structure and attributes of functions analytic in the open unit disk. Sharp coefficients pertain to the most restrictive admissible bounds for the Taylor coefficients of a given function class, ensuring that no uniformly smaller bound exists. The Hankel determinant, constructed from these coefficients, provides a quantitative measure of functional complexity and finds extensive use in exploring univalence, starlikeness, and convexity properties of analytic functions.
Recent advancements in the field have generated increasing interest in extending classical results to more specialized subclasses of analytic functions. These extensions frequently involve functions characterized by q-calculus, fractional operators, or subordination to particular analytic functions that map into geometrically significant or symmetric domains. For instance, investigations have addressed starlike functions associated with symmetric domains, including the Booth lemniscate, limaçon curves, and domains bounded by trigonometric or hyperbolic curves [1,2]. Such studies not only generalize foundational results but also provide new insights into the intricate relationship between coefficient bounds and the geometric attributes of image domains for analytic mappings.
Let be holomorphic in the unit disk normalized such that and let denote the class of all such functions . Then, for , the expansion has the form:
For given , the Hankel determinant was introduced by Pommerenke [3,4] for a function with a power series expansion (1) as follows:
For = 1, and some particular values of k and i, we get the second- and third- order Hankel determinants as:
The Hankel matrix serves as a pivotal analytical tool in pure mathematics and numerous applied fields, with far-reaching applications in Markov process theory, nonstationary signal processing within the context of the Hamburger moment problem, and partition functions represented by Jacobi weights, among others [5,6,7]. The initial sharp bounds for the third-order Hankel determinant for convex functions were established in [8], subsequently motivating extensive related research [9,10].
In [10], a subclass of starlike functions, denoted as , was defined using the subordination technique, where sharp upper bounds were obtained for the first four Taylor coefficients as well as for the second- and third-order Hankel determinants.
Motivated by the approach for , we introduce a novel subclass of bounded turning functions as follows:
This condition is geometrically distinct from that of and leads to a different set of coefficient relations and challenges. The primary aim is to perform a complete analysis of the early coefficient and Hankel determinant problems for this new class.
This paper introduces and investigates a novel subclass of analytic functions with bounded turning, denoted , defined by the subordination condition . The primary objective is to derive the sharp bounds for the initial Taylor-Maclaurin coefficients for . Furthermore, we establish precise and sharp estimates for several Hankel determinants, specifically the second-order determinants , , , and the third-order determinant . The methodology involves transforming the subordination condition into a problem of optimizing functionals over the Carathéodory class of functions with positive real part. By employing a series of established lemmas and intricate inequalities, we perform a detailed and systematic analysis to obtain the optimal bounds. For each result, we explicitly construct extremal functions that demonstrate the sharpness of our inequalities, confirming that the derived bounds cannot be improved.
After this introduction, Section 2 lists the necessary lemmas required for the proofs. Section 3 presents our main results: sharp bounds for to (Theorem 1), (Theorem 2), (Theorem 3), (Theorem 4), and (Theorem 5). Each theorem is followed by a detailed proof, outlining the methodological steps and the construction of extremal functions to prove sharpness. The paper concludes with acknowledgments and references.
