In this study, we introduce and investigate a novel subclass of analytic biunivalent functions, which we define using Gegenbauer polynomials. We derive the initial coefficient bounds for |a2|, |a3|, and |a4|, and establish Fekete-Szegö inequalities for this class. In addition, we confirm that Brannan and Clunie’s conjecture, |a2| ≤ 2, is valid for this subclass. To facilitate better understanding, we provide visualizations of the functions, using appropriately chosen parameters.

Keywords: Analytic functions, Bi-univalent functions, Gegenbauer polynomials

Let us denote the class of all normalized analytic functions as A. These functions, represented as f(z), have the form

f(z)=z+j=2ajzj,(zD),

where D is the set of complex numbers z such that |z|<1. We define S as the subclass of A that consists of univalent functions.

If h1(z) and h2(z) belong to A, we say that h1(z) is subordinate to h2(z) if there exists a function ζ(z) with ζ(0)=0 and |ζ(z)|<1 in D such that h1(z)=h2(ζ(z)). We denote this as h1(z)h2(z).

A function f(z) in S is considered bi-univalent if its inverse, f-1(w), has an analytic continuation to |w|<1 in the w-plane. We denote σ as the class of all bi-univalent functions in D.

If f-1(w)=g(w) is of the form

g(w)=w+j=2bjwj,(wD),

then we have

g(w)=w-a2w2+(2a22-a3)w3-(5a23-5a2a3+a4)w4+,(wD).

The class of bi-univalent functions was introduced by Lewin [4] in 1967, who provided an estimate for the second coefficient for functions in this class as |a2|<1.51. This result was later improved by Brannan and Clunie [2] to |a2|2. There is extensive literature on the estimates of the initial coefficients of bi-univalent functions (see [1, 6, 7]).

The Fekete-Szegö problem involves finding sharp bounds for |a3-ϱa22| of any compact family of functions. When ϱ=1, the functional represents the Schwarzian derivative, which plays a significant role in the theory of Geometric functions.

For ηR and η0, the generating function of Gegenbauer polynomials is defined as

Gη(r,z)=1(1-2rz+z2)η,

where r[-1,1] and zD. The function Gη, for a fixed r, is analytic in D and can be written as

Gη(r,z)=k=0Qkη(r)zk,

where Qkη(r) is the Gegenbauer polynomial of degree k. When η=0, Gη does not exist. Thus, the Gegenbauer polynomial for η=0 is generated by the following function [3, 5]

G0(r,z)=1-log(1-2rz+z2)=k=0Qk0(r)zk.

The function Gη(r,z) gets normalized when η>-1/2. The Gegenbauer polynomials are defined by the following recurrence relation [1]

Qkη(r)=1k[2r(k+η-1)Qk-1η(r)-(k+2η-2)Qk-2η(r)],(k=2,3,...)

with initial conditions

Q0η(r)=1, Q1η(r)=2ηr.

For k=2, we have

 Q2η(r)=2η(1+η)r2-η.

Table 1 shows the special cases of Qkη(r).

Unless otherwise mentioned, we assume in this paper that

δn:=1+n-1v+t+n2+1vt,nN.

where v0 and t[0,1]. It is evident that δn is a real number and δn1, and

δn+1-δn=(1+2n+1t)v+t0.

For every hA, we define

Ξv,th(z):=(1-v)(1-t)h(z)z+t+v(1+t)h'(z)+vt(zh''(z)-2).

If hA is of the form h(z)=z+j=2ujzj, we have

Ξv,th(z)=1+j=2δjujzj-1.

With the aid of Gegenbauer polynomials, we define subclasses of σ using the notion of subordination.

Definition 1.1. A function fσ is said to be in the class Aσ(v,tr),

if

Ξv,tf(z)Gη(r,z),(zD),

and

Ξv,tg(w)Gη(r,w),(wD)

where g(w)=f-1(w)=w+j=2bjwj.

Example 1.1. For t=0 and v1, fσ is in the class Aσ(v,0r)=Dσ(vr), if

Ξv,0f(z)Gη(r,z),

and

Ξv,0g(w)Gη(r,w)

where g=f-1.

Example 1.2.

For t=0 and v=1, fσ is in the class Aσ(1,0r)=Dσ(1r)=Hσ(r), if

Ξ1,0f(z)Gη(r,z),

and

Ξ1,0g(w)Gη(r,w)

where g=f-1.

Theorem 2.1. If f(z), given by (1.1), is in Aσ(v,tr), then

|a2|2|ηr|2|ηr||4δ3η2r2-δ22(2η(1+η)r2-η)|
|a3|2|ηr|δ3+4η2r2δ22

and

|a4|20η2r2δ2δ3+|D|2δ4

where D=83η21+ηr3+8η(1+η)r2+23η-6η2+4r-4η.

Proof. Since fAσ(v,tr), there exist two analytic functions α,β:DD given by

α(z)=j=1αjzj

and

β(w)=j=1βjwj

with α(0)=β(0)=0,|α(z)|<1,|β(w)|<1 for all z,wD such that

Ξv,tf(z)=Gη(r,α(z))

and

Ξv,tg(w)=Gη(r,β(w)).

Or equivalently

1+j=2δjajzj-1=1+Q1η(r)α1z+[Q1η(r)α2+Q2η(r)α12]z2+

and

1+j=2δjbjwj-1=1+Q1η(r)β1w+[Q1η(r)β2+Q2η(r)β12]w2+.

Since |α(z)|<1 and |β(w)|<1, it is clear that

|αj|1,|βj|1

for j=1,2,.... From (2.6) and (2.7), we have

δ2a2=Q1η(r)α1
δ3a3=Q1η(r)α2+Q2η(r)α12
-δ2a2=Q1η(r)β1
δ3(2a22-a3)=Q1η(r)β2+Q2η(r)β12
δ4a4=Q1η(r)α3+2Q2η(r)α1α2+Q3η(r)α13

and

δ4(5a2a3-a4-5a23)=Q1η(r)β3+2Q2η(r)β1β2+Q3η(r)β13.

From (2.10) and (2.12), we can easily see that

α1=-β1

and

2δ22a22=[Q1η(r)]2[α12+β12].

Upon adding (2.11) and (2.13), we get

2δ3a22=Q1η(r)(α2+β2)+Q2η(r)(α12+β12).

By using (2.17) in (2.18), we have

2δ3(Q1η(r))2-δ22Q2η(r)a22=[Q1η(r)]3(α2+β2)

which implies

|a2|2|ηr|2|ηr||4δ3η2r2-δ22(2η(1+η)r2-η)|.

Upon subtracting (2.13) from (2.11) and using (2.16), we get

a3-a22=Q1η(r)(α2-β2)2δ3.

Then, in aid of (2.17), we get

a3=Q1η(r)(α2-β2)2δ3+[Q1η(r)]2(α12+β12)2δ22.

Thus

|a3|2|ηr|δ3+4η2r2δ22.

By using (2.10), (2.11), (2.12) and (2.14), we get

a4=5Q1η(r)α1(α2-β2)δ2δ3+5(Q1η(r))3α1(α12+β12)δ23 -10(Q1η(r))3α13δ23+2Q2η(r)(α1α2-β1β2)2δ4+Q1η(r)(α3-β3)2δ4+Q3η(r)(α13-β13)2δ4

which implies

|a4|20η2r2δ2δ3+|D|2δ4.

Corollary 2.1. If f(z), given by (1.1), is in Dσ(vr), then

|a2|2|ηr|2|ηr||1+2v4η2r2-1+v2(2η(1+η)r2-η)|
|a3|2|ηr|1+2v+4η2r21+v2

and

|a4|20η2r2(1+2v)(1+v)+|D|2(1+3v)

where D is as in Theorem 2.1.

Corollary 2.2. If f(z), given by (1.1), is in Hσ(r), then

|a2||ηr|2|ηr||3η2r2-(2η(1+η)r2-η)|
|a3|2|ηr|3+η2r2

and

|a4|10η2r2+|D|8

where D is as in Theorem 2.1.

Corollary 2.3. If f(z), given by (1.1), is in Aσ(v,tr) with η=1, then

|a2|2|r|2|r||4δ3r2-(4r2-1)δ22|
|a3|2|r|δ3+4r2δ22

and

|a4|20r2δ2δ3+|8r3+24r2+r-6|3δ3.

Corollary 2.4. If f(z), given by (1.1), is in Aσ(v,tr) with η=12, then

|a2||r|2|r||2δ3r2-3r2-1δ22|
|a3||r|δ3+r2δ22

and

|a4|5r2δ2δ3+|r3+6r2+2r-2|2δ4.

Remark 2.1. When v=0,t=1,η=1 and |r|0.75490..., we obtain Brannan and Cliunie's [<xrefrid="ref2"ref-type="bibr">2</xref>] conjecture |a2|2.

2.1. Visualization of Certain Class-Specific Functions and Co-efficient bounds

Results need to be clear and recognized. Geometrical visualization is the use of visualization to comprehend and investigate mathematical processes. Some of the diagrams that assist us in seeing, comprehending, and analyzing the nature of the functions and co-efficient bounds for a2 which holds Brannan and Clunie's conjecture in Aσ(v,tr) with a suitable choice of parameters, are presented in this article.

Theorem 3.1. If f(z), given by (1.1), is in Aσ(v,tr) and ϱR, then

|a3-ϱa22|2|ηr|δ3,|ϱ-1|1-δ22(2η(1+η)r2-η)4δ3η2r28|ϱ-1||η3r3||4δ3η2r2-δ22(2η(1+η)r2-η)|,|ϱ-1|1-δ22(2η(1+η)r2-η)4δ3η2r2.

Proof. For ϱR and from (2.20), we have

a3-ϱa22=Q1η(r)(α2-β2)2δ3+(1-ϱ)a22.

By using (2.19), we get

a3-ϱa22=Q1η(r)(α2-β2)2δ3+(1-ϱ)[Q1η(r)]3(α2+β2)2[δ3[Q1η(r)]2-δ22Q2η(r)] =Q1η(r)12δ3+Υ(v,t)α2+-12δ3+Υ(v,t)β2

where Υ(v,t)=(1-ϱ)[Q1η(r)]22δ3[Q1η(r)]2-δ22Q2η(r). Thus

|a3-ϱa22||Q1η(r)|δ3,0|Υ(v,t)|12δ32|Q1η(r)Υ(v,t)|,|Υ(v,t)|12δ3.

Corollary 3.1. If f(z), given by (1.1), is in Dσ(vr) and ϱR, then

|a3-ϱa22|2|ηr||1+2v|,|ϱ-1||1-(1+v)2(2η(1+η)r2-η)4(1+2v)η2r2|8|ϱ-1||η3r3||4(1+2v)η2r2-(1+v)2(2η(1+η)r2-η)|,|ϱ-1||1-(1+v)2(2η(1+η)r2-η)4(1+2v)η2r2|.

Corollary 3.2. If f(z), given by (1.1), is in Hσ(r) and ϱR, then

|a3-ϱa22|2|ηr|3,|ϱ-1||1-2η(1+η)r2-η3η2r2|2|ϱ-1||η3r3||3η2r2-(2η(1+η)r2-η)|,|ϱ-1||1-2η(1+η)r2-η3η2r2|.

Corollary 3.3. If f(z), given by (1.1), is in Aσ(v,tr) with η=1 and ϱR, then

|a3-ϱa22|2|r|δ3,|ϱ-1||1-δ22(4r2-1)4δ3r2|8|ϱ-1||r3||4δ3r2-δ22(4r2-1)|,|ϱ-1||1-δ22(4r2-1)4δ3r2|.

Corollary 3.4. If f(z), given by (1.1), is in Aσ(v,tr) with η=1/2 and ϱR, then

|a3-ϱa22||r|δ3,|ϱ-1||1-δ22(3r2-1)2δ3r2|2|ϱ-1||r3||2ηr2-δ22(3r2-1)|,|ϱ-1||1-δ22(3r2-1)2δ3r2|.
