1. Introduction
Let denote the class of analytic functions in the open unit disk and denote the subclass of consisting of functions of the form
Also, let be the subclass of consisting of all univalent functions in Then 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 idea of studying the logarithmic coefficients helped Kayumov [1] to solve Brennan’s conjecture for conformal mappings.
Recall that we can rewrite (2) in the series form as follows:
Now, considering the coefficients of for , it follows that
For two functions f and g that are analytic in we say that the function f is subordinate to g in and write if there exists a Schwarz function that is analytic in with and such that
In particular, if the function g is univalent in then if and only if and .
Using subordination, different subclasses of starlike and convex functions were introduced by Ma and Minda [2], in which either of the quantity or is subordinate to a more general superordinate function. To this aim, they considered an analytic univalent function with positive real part in . is symmetric respecting the real axis and starlike considering and . They defined the classes consisting of several well-known classes as follows:
and
For example, the classes and reduce to the classes and of the well-known Janowski starlike and Janowski convex functions for , respectively. By replacing and where , we conclude the classes and of the starlike functions of order and convex functions of order , respectively. In particular, and are the class of starlike functions and of convex functions in the unit disk , respectively. The Koebe function is starlike but not convex in . Thus, every convex function is starlike but not conversely; however, each starlike function is convex in the disk of radius .
Lately, several researchers have subsequently investigated similar problems in the direction of the logarithmic coefficients, the coefficient problems, and differential subordination [3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11], to mention a few. For example, the rotation of Koebe function for each has logarithmic coefficients If then by using the Bieberbach inequality for the first equation of (3) it concludes and by utilizing the Fekete–Szegö inequality for the second equation of (3), (see [12] (Theorem 3.8)),
It was shown in [12] (Theorem 4) that the logarithmic coefficients of every function satisfy
and the equality is attained for the Koebe function. For the inequality holds but is not true for the full class , even in order of magnitude (see [12] (Theorem 8.4)). In 2018, Ali and Vasudevarao [3] and Pranav Kumar and Vasudevarao [6] obtained the logarithmic coefficients for certain subclasses of close-to-convex functions. Nevertheless, the problem of the best upper bounds for the logarithmic coefficients of univalent functions for is presumably still a concern.
Based on the results presented in previous research, in the current study, the bounds for the logarithmic coefficients of the general classes and were estimated. It is worthwhile mentioning that the given bounds in this paper would generalize some of the previous papers and that many new results are obtained, noting that our method is more general than those used by others. The following lemmas will be used in the proofs of our main results.

2. Main Results
Throughout this paper, we assume that is an analytic univalent function in the unit disk satisfying such that it has series expansion of the form
Theorem 1.
Let the function . Then the logarithmic coefficients of f satisfy the inequalities:
- (i)
- If φ is convex, thenand
- (ii)
- If φ is starlike with respect to 1, then
Proof.
Suppose that . Then considering the definition of , it follows that
which according to the logarithmic coefficients of f given by (1), concludes
Now, for the proof of inequality (5), we assume that is convex in . This implies that is convex with , and so by Lemma 4(i) we get
and concluding the result.
Next, for the proof of inequality (6), we define , which is an analytic function, and it satisfies the relation
as is convex in with .
On the other hand, it is well known that the function (see [17])
belongs to the class , and for ,
Now, by Lemma 2 and from (9), we obtain
Considering (10), the above relation becomes
In addition, it has been proved in [18] that the class of convex univalent functions is closed under convolution. Therefore, the function is convex univalent. In addition, the above relation considering the logarithmic coefficients of f given by (1) is equivalent to
Applying Lemma 3, from the above subordination this gives
which yields the inequality in (6). Supposing that , we deduce that
and it concludes the inequality (7).
Finally, we suppose that is starlike with respect to 1 in , which implies is starlike, and thus by Lemma 4(ii), we obtain
This implies the inequality in (8).
In the following corollaries, we obtain the logarithmic coefficients for two subclasses and , which were defined by Khatter et al. in [19], and and are the convex univalent functions in . For , these results reduce to the logarithmic coefficients for the subclasses and (see [20,21]).
