1. Introduction and Preliminaries
Following [
1] by
, we denote the set of analytic functions in the open unit disk
and
where
n is a positive integer number, and
. Suppose that
, we consider the subclass
of
as follows:
We set
. Moreover, the subclass of
consisting of univalent functions in the open unit disk
is denoted by
. We recall the following definitions from [
2]. A function
is called a starlike function of order
, written
, if
Especially, we set
. Furthermore, a function
is called convex of order
, written
, if it satisfies
In particular, we put
. Let
. Then by the function
f subordinated to
g, denoted by
, we mean that if there exists an analytic function in
such as
, with
and
, such that
. Moreover, in the case that
g is univalent in
, then
if and only if
and
. Let also
and
; we, respectively, name the subclasses
and
of
close-to-convex and quasi-convex of order
and type
in
and define
and
The class
consists of analytic functions in
with the fixed initial coefficients defined as follows:
where
n is a positive integer number,
, and
is a fixed number. Moreover,
where
n is a positive integer number, and
is a fixed number. We also set
. Moreover, let
and
where

, and
and
are fixed (See [
3]).
It is imperative to underscore the significance of the coefficients of analytic functions in the realm of geometric function theory. Specifically, constraints on the second coefficient of a univalent function yield well-established outcomes such as growth, distortion, and covering theorems (see [
1]). Recently, the exploration of second-order differential subordination for analytic functions with fixed initial coefficients was undertaken by M. Ali et al. [
3] who continue the research of S. S. Miller and P. T. Mocanu [
1]. Subsequently, in the works of [
4,
5,
6], notable results were derived through the application of first-order differential subordination for analytic functions with fixed initial coefficients.
Moreover, in [
7], the inquiry into the radius of starlikeness for analytic functions with fixed second coefficients was addressed. Amani et al. [
8] have contributed significant findings regarding functions with fixed initial coefficients. Furthermore, a multitude of authors have recently delved into various aspects of these functions (see [
9]).
Inspired by the works of [
10,
11], we delineate the conditions for starlikeness and various notions related to convexity (close-to-convexity and quasi-convexity) concerning functions with fixed initial coefficients in this paper. Additionally, we present an extension of Nunokawa’s lemma [
12], tailored for functions with fixed initial coefficients.
Section 2 encompasses the derivation of novel conditions for starlikeness and various notions related to convexity (close-to-convexity and quasi-convexity) pertaining to functions with fixed initial coefficients, along with pertinent corollaries. Subsequently, in
Section 3, we expound upon the extension of Nunokawa’s lemma for the above-mentioned functions.
For proving the main results, we should express some basic definitions and results.

At the outset of this section, we introduce a fundamental theorem, as follows:
Theorem 1. Let , , and . Moreover, define and as follows:and - (i)

16) and (
17) yield
Thus, we have

9) from the hypothesis. Thus, the proof of (i) is complete. For proving (ii), we define
Note that

, where
. Hence, by obtaining the inverse and derivative of
q and applying (
19), we obtain
By computing, we can easily conclude that
This implies that
which contradicts assertion (
11). Hence,
. So, (
18) implies (
12). The proof of (iii) is similar to (ii), and so we omit the analogous details of the proof. Thus, the proof is complete. □
