Abstract
The concept of coefficient estimates on univalent functions is one of the interesting aspects explored recently by many researchers. Motivated by this direction, in this present work, we obtain the upper bounds of initial inverse coefficients and logarithmic coefficients and the upper bounds of differences between these successive coefficients related to concave univalent functions. Further, we also calculate the upper bounds of third-order Hankel, Toeplitz, and Vandermonde determinants in terms of specified coefficients connected to concave univalent functions.

1. Introduction
Define the class consisting of functions expressed in the form
which are analytic and univalent within the open unit disk and normalized by the conditions . Then, is identified as the subclass of that consists of starlike functions, i.e., the class of functions satisfying
The Koebe one-quarter theorem [1] asserts that the image of under any function h in the class is associated with an inverse function that complies with the conditions
and
where
By simple computation, one can get the first five inverse coefficients as
and
Also, the logarithmic coefficients of are defined with the following series expansion:
These coefficients play an important role for various estimates in the theory of univalent functions. Note that we use instead of . The study of logarithmic coefficients is indeed interesting as it helped Kayumov [2] to solve Brannan’s conjecture for conformal mappings. The first three initial logarithmic coefficients are given by
and
Several researchers have investigated about the logarithmic coefficients of univalent functions. For example, the rotation of Koebe function for each real has logarithmic coefficients If the sharp bounds for the logarithmic coefficients, when and , are obtained as
The problem of determining the sharp bounds for when still remains unsolved. Recently, Lecko and Partyka [3] discussed the sharp inequalities for the difference of successive initial logarithmic coefficients of univalent functions.
Ponnusamy et al. [4] examined the logarithmic coefficients of inverse univalent function defined as
Upon expansion of the above series, it is easy to see that the first three logarithmic coefficients of inverse univalent function are given by
and
Noonan and Thomas [5] introduced the concept of the rth Hankel determinant denoted by for . The expression for a function , which is formed by its coefficients, is
Nowadays, Hankel matrices are used widely in the field of applied mathematics; see [6]. Hankel determinants are beneficial, for example, in determining whether certain coefficient functionals related to functions are bounded in and if they achieve sharp bounds; see [7]. In the last decade, Altinkaya et al. [8] derived the upper bound of for concave univalent functions. For a function , the rth Hankel determinant , where with entries as inverse coefficients specified by
Let , the rth Hankel determinant , where with entries as logarithmic coefficients specified by
It is of interest to note that the expressions and share a notable resemblance to . Kowalczyk et al. [9] investigated the Hankel determinants formed using logarithmic coefficients. Additionally, Mundalia and Kumar [10] explored the problem of logarithmic coefficients for certain subclasses of close-to-convex functions. The sharp bound for the second Hankel determinant of logarithmic coefficients of convex and starlike functions of order were found by Kowalczyk and Lecko [11]. More recently, Shi et al. [12] obtained the second Hankel determinant of inverse logarithmic coefficient bounds for starlike functions subordinated to the exponential functions. Also, Wang et al. [13] derived the sharp bounds on Hankel determinants of bounded turning functions through the hyperbolic tangent function.
In 2016, Ye and Lim [6] established that any matrix over can be represented as a product of certain Toeplitz or Hankel matrices. Toeplitz matrices, along with their determinants, play a crucial role in both applied and theoretical mathematics. A defining feature of Toeplitz matrices is that their elements remain constant along each diagonal. Giri and Kumar [14] explored the bounds on Toeplitz determinants for different subclasses of normalized univalent functions in higher-dimensional spaces. Motivated by all these works, for and we consider the Toeplitz determinant of the inverse coefficients as follows:
Also, Toeplitz determinant with logarithmic coefficients for and is described by
Similar to Hankel determinants, and show the similarity of .
In 1958, Macon et al. [15] explicitly studied the Vandermonde matrices. The Vandermonde matrix is applied in Digital Signal Processing for Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) and the Inverse Discrete Fourier Transform (IDFT) computations. Vandermonde matrices play an important role in approximation problems as well. Recently, Vijayalakshmi et al. [16] worked on the Vandermonde determinant for a certain Sakaguchi-type function in the Limacon domain. For , the Vandermonde determinants and with related to the inverse coefficients and logarithmic coefficients, respectively, are described by
and
In particular, and resemble . The Vandermonde determinant has lot of applications in different fields.
Replacing the univalent function h by and the coefficients by in the above mentioned determinants , and , we get the respective determinants in-terms of inverse logarithmic coefficients.
Now, we state the following definition of concave univalent functions, which has been discussed in a detailed way by Avkhadiev et al. [17] and Cruz et al. [18].
Definition 1.
A function is said to be in the family of concave univalent functions if h satisfies the following conditions:
(i). h is analytic in with the standard normalization . In addition, .
(ii). h maps conformally onto a set whose complement with respect to is convex.
(iii). The opening angle of at ∞ is less than or equal to , .
Bhowmik et al. [19] showed that an analytic function h maps onto a concave domain of angle if and only if
We need the following lemmas to prove our main results.

Motivated by the aforementioned articles, in this present work, we obtain the upper bound of initial inverse coefficients and logarithmic coefficients and the upper bound of the difference between these successive coefficients related to concave univalent functions. Further, we also calculate the upper bound of third-order Hankel, Toeplitz, and Vandermonde determinants in terms of specified coefficients connected to concave univalent functions.

6. Concluding Remarks and Observations
In this article, we found the bounds of inverse coefficients, logarithmic coefficients, inverse logarithmic coefficients, and differences between these successive coefficients for a certain subclass of univalent functions. Also, we considered the Hankel, Toeplitz, and Vandermonde determinants by taking inverse coefficients, logarithmic coefficients, and inverse logarithmic coefficients for concave univalent functions. We obtained the upper bounds for the mentioned different types of determinants related to the given subclass of univalent functions.
Given the importance of the inverse and logarithmic coefficients of univalent functions, our work provides a new basis for the study of the Hankel, Toeplitz, and Vandermonde determinants. It could also inspire further similar results investigating other subfamilies of univalent functions or taking the bounds of those specified higher-order determinants.
