Abstract
In this paper, we employ the theory of differential subordination to establish a theorem that delineates certain sufficient conditions for starlikeness, convexity, close-to-convexity, and quasi-convexity in relation to functions with fixed initial coefficients. Furthermore, we introduce some results derived from these conditions. Building upon this framework, we derive an extension of Nunokawa’s lemma for analytic functions with fixed initial coefficients.

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.
