INTEGRAL MEANS AND DIRICHLET INTEGRAL FOR CERTAIN CLASSES OF ANALYTIC FUNCTIONS

For a normalized analytic function$f(z)=z+\sum _{n=2}^{\infty }a_{n}z^{n}$in the unit disk$\mathbb{D}:=\{z\in \mathbb{C}:|z|<1\}$, the estimate of the integral means$$\begin{eqnarray}L_{1}(r,f):=\frac{r^{2}}{2{\it\pi}}\int _{-{\it\pi}}^{{\it\pi}}\frac{d{\it\theta}}{|f(re^{i{\it\theta}})|^{2}}\end{eqnarray}$$is an important quantity for certain problems in fluid dynamics, especially when the functions$f(z)$are nonvanishing in the punctured unit disk$\mathbb{D}\setminus \{0\}$. Let${\rm\Delta}(r,f)$denote the area of the image of the subdisk$\mathbb{D}_{r}:=\{z\in \mathbb{C}:|z|<r\}$under$f$, where$0<r\leq 1$. In this paper, we solve two extremal problems of finding the maximum value of$L_{1}(r,f)$and${\rm\Delta}(r,z/f)$as a function of$r$when$f$belongs to the class of$m$-fold symmetric starlike functions of complex order defined by a subordination relation. One of the particular cases of the latter problem includes the solution to a conjecture of Yamashita, which was settled recently by Obradovićet al.[‘A proof of Yamashita’s conjecture on area integral’,Comput. Methods Funct. Theory13(2013), 479–492].
