Abstract
In this paper, we investigate two sub-classes and of bi-univalent functions in the open unit disc that are subordinate to certain analytic functions. For functions belonging to these classes, we obtain an upper bound for the second Hankel determinant .
1. Introduction
Let be the class of the functions of the form
which are analytic in the open unit disc . Further, by S we shall denote the class of all functions in that are univalent in .
Let denote the family of functions , which are analytic in such that , and of the form
For two functions and , analytic in , we say that the function is subordinate to in , and we write it as if there exists a Schwarz function , which is analytic in with such that
Indeed, it is known that
Every function has an inverse , which is defined by ,
In fact, the inverse function is given by
A function is said to be bi-univalent in if both and are univalent in .
Let denote the class of bi-univalent functions defined in the unit disc .
We notice that is non empty .One of the best examples of bi-univalent functions is , which maps the unit disc univalently onto a strip , which in turn contains the unit disc. Other examples are
However, the Koebe function is not a member of because it maps unit disc univalent onto the entire complex plane minus a slit along . Hence, the image domain does not contain the unit disc.
Other examples of univalent function that are not in the class are .
In 1967, Lewin [1] first introduced class of bi-univalent function and showed that for every . Subsequently, in 1967, Branan and Clunie [2] conjectured that for bi-star like functions and for bi-convex functions. Only the last estimate is sharp; equality occurs only for or its rotation.
Later, Netanyahu [3] proved that . In 1985, Kedzierawski [4] proved Brannan and Clunie’s conjecture for bi-starlike functions. In 1985, Tan [5] obtained that , which is the best known estimate for bi-univalent functions. Since then, various subclasses of the bi-univalent function classes were introduced, and non-sharp estimates on the first two coefficients and in the Taylor Maclaurin’s series expansion were found in several investigations. The coefficient estimate problem for each of is still an open problem.
In 1976, Noonan and Thomas [6] defined Hankel determinant of for and , which is stated by
These determinants are useful, for example, in showing that a function of bounded characteristic in , i.e., a function that is a ratio of two bounded analytic functions with its Laurent series around the origin having integral coefficient is rational.
The Hankel determinant plays an important role in the study of singularities (for instance, see [7] Denies, p.329 and Edrei [8]).A Hankel determinant plays an important role in the study of power series with integral coefficients. In 1966, Pommerenke [9] investigated the Hankel determinants of areally mean p-valent functions, univalent functions as well as of starlike functions, and, in 1967 [10], he proved that the Hankel determinants of univalent functions satisfy where and depend only on Later, Hayman [11] proved that for areally mean univalent functions. The estimates for the Hankel determinant of areally mean p-valent functions have been investigated [12,13,14]. Elhosh [15,16] obtained bounds for Hankel determinants of univalent functions with a positive Hayman index and k-fold symmetric and close to convex functions. Noor [9] determined the rate of growth of as for the functions in S with bounded boundary. Ehrenborg [17] studied the Hankel determinant of exponential polynomials. The Hankel transform of an integer sequence and some of its properties were discussed by Layman [18].
One can easily observe that the Fekete-Szego functional . This function was further generalized with real as well as complex. Fekete-Szego gave a sharp estimate of for real. The well-known results due to them is
On the other hand, Zaprawa [19,20] extended the study on Fekete-Szego problem to some classes of bi-univalent functions. Ali [21] found sharp bounds on the first four coefficients and a sharp estimate for the Fekete-Szego functional , where t is real, for the inverse function of f defined as to the class of strongly starlike functions of order
Recently S.K. Lee et al. [22] obtained the second Hankel determinant for functions belonging to subclasses of Ma-Minda starlike and convex functions. T. Ram Reddy [23] obtained the Hankel determinants for starlike and convex functions with respect to symmetric points. T. Ram Reddy et al. [24,25] also obtained the second Hankel determinant for subclasses of p-valent functions and p-valent starlike and convex function of order .
Janteng [26] has obtained sharp estimates for the second Hankel determinant for functions whose derivative has a positive real part.Afaf Abubaker [27] studied sharp upper bound of the second Hankel determinant of subclasses of analytic functions involving a generalized linear differential operator. In 2015, the second Hankel determinant for bi-starlike and bi-convex function of order was obtained by Erhan Deniz [28].
2. Preliminaries
Motivated by above work, in this paper, we introduce certain subclasses of bi-univalent functions and obtained an upper bound to the coefficient functional for the function in these classes defined as follows:
Definition 2.1.: A function is said to be in the class if it satisfies the following conditions:
where is an extension of to .
Note: 1. For , the class reduces to the class , and, for this class, coefficient inequalities of the second Hankel determinant were studied by Deniz et al [28].
2. For and , the class reduces to the class , and, for this class, coefficient inequalities of the second Hankel determinant were studied by Deniz et al [28].
Definition 2.2.: A function is said to be in the class if it satisfies the following conditions:
where is an extension of in .
Note: 1. For , the class reduces to the class , and, for this class, coefficient inequalities ofthe second Hankel determinantwere studied by Deniz et al [28].
2. For and the class reduces to the class , and, for this class, coefficient inequalities ofthe second Hankel determinantwere studied by Deniz et al [28].
To prove our results, we require the following Lemmas:
Lemma 2.1. [14] Let the function be given by the following series:
Then the sharp estimate is given by .
Lemma 2.2. [29] The power series for the function is given (10) converges in the unit disc to a function in if and only if Toeplitz determinants
and are all non-negative. These are strictly positive except for for , where ; in this case, for and
This necessary and sufficient condition found in the literature [29] is due to Caratheodary and Toeplitz. We may assume without any restriction that . On using Lemma (2.2) for and respectively, we get
It is equivalent to

Differentiating , we get
Using elementary calculus, one can show that for . This implies that is an increasing function, and it therefore cannot have a maximum value at any point in the interior of the closed region . Further, the upper bound for corresponds to , in which case
Then
Setting , the real critical points are .
After some calculations we obtain the following cases:
Case 1: When , we observe that , that is , is out of the interval . Therefore, the maximum value of occurs at or , which contradicts our assumption of having a maximum value at the interior point of . Since G is an increasing function, the maximum point of G must be on the boundary of , that is . Thus, we have
Case 2: When , we observe that , that is , is interior of the interval . Since , the maximum value of occurs at . Thus, we have
This completes the proof of the theorem.
Corollary 1: Let given by (1.1) be in the class . Then
Corollary 2: Let given by (1.1) be in the class . Then
These two corollaries coincide with the results of Deniz et al. [28].
Remark 3.1: It is observed that for , we get the Hankel determinant for the class and the Hankel determinant of this class was studied by Deniz et al. [28].

Corollary 2: Let given by (1) be in the class . Then
These two corollaries coincide with the results of Deniz et al. [28].
