A system of openly disjoint discs in the plane is said to form a 6-neighboured circle packing if every is tangent to at least 6 other elements of (It is evident that such a system consists of infinitely many discs.) The simplest example is the regular circle packing all of whose circles are of the same size and have exactly 6 neighbours. L. Fejes Tóth conjectured that the regular circle packing has the interesting extremal property that, if we slightly “perturb” it, then there will necessarily occur either arbitrarily small or arbitrarily large circles. More precisely, he asked whether or not the following “zero or one law” (cf. [3], [6]) is valid: If is a 6-neighboured circle packing, thenwhere r(C) denotes the radius of circle C, inf and sup are taken over all C ∊

We prove the sharp inequality $|H_{3,1}(f)|\leq 4/135$ for convex functions, that is, for analytic functions $f$ with $a_{n}:=f^{(n)}(0)/n!,~n\in \mathbb{N}$, such that $$\begin{eqnarray}Re\bigg\{1+\frac{zf^{\prime \prime }(z)}{f^{\prime }(z)}\bigg\}>0\quad \text{for}~z\in \mathbb{D}:=\{z\in \mathbb{C}:|z|<1\},\end{eqnarray}$$ where $H_{3,1}(f)$ is the third Hankel determinant $$\begin{eqnarray}H_{3,1}(f):=\left|\begin{array}{@{}ccc@{}}a_{1} & a_{2} & a_{3}\\ a_{2} & a_{3} & a_{4}\\ a_{3} & a_{4} & a_{5}\end{array}\right|.\end{eqnarray}$$

1.1. Over the past 15 years there has grown up quite an extensive theory of operator norms related to the numerical radius1of a Hilbert space operator T. Among the many interesting developments, we may mention:(a) C. Berger's proof of the “power inequality”2(b) R. Bouldin's result that3for any isometry V commuting with T;(c) the unification by B. Sz.-Nagy and C. Foias, in their theory of ρ-dilations, of the Berger dilation for T with w(T) ≤ 1 and the earlier theory of strong unitary dilations (Nagy-dilations) for norm contractions;(d) the result by T. Ando and K. Nishio that the operator radii wρ(T) corresponding to the ρ-dilations of (c) are log-convex functions of ρ.

Definition 1.1. Let be analytic for |z| < 1. If ƒ is univalent, we say that ƒ belongs to the class S.Definition 1.2. Let ƒ ∈ S, 0 ≦ α < 1. Then ƒ belongs to the class of convex functions of order α, denoted by Kα, provided(1)and if > 0 is given, there exists Z0, |Z0| < 1, such thatLet ƒ ∈ Kα and consider the Jordan curve ϒτ = ƒ(|z| = r), 0 < r < 1. Let s(r, θ) measure the arc length along ϒτ; and let ϕ(r, θ) measure the angle (in the anti-clockwise sense) that the tangent line to ϒτ at ƒ(reiθ) makes with the positive real axis.

If f(z) is a non-constant, entire function, then Hadamard's three-circles theorem asserts thatis a convex, increasing function of log r. Hence, by well-known properties of logarithmically convex functions,

The purpose of the present note is to point out that the results of D. S. Goel, A. S. B. Holland, C. Nasim and B. N. Sahney [1] on best simultaneous approximation are easy consequences of simple facts about convex functions. Given a normed linear space X, a convex subset K of X, and points x1, x2 in X, [1] discusses existence and uniqueness of K* ∈ K such that

Let Vk denote the class of functionswhich map conformally onto an image domain ƒ(U) of boundary rotation at most kπ (see (7) for the definition and basic properties of the class kπ). In this note we discuss the valency of functions in Vk, and also their Maclaurin coefficients.In (8) it was shown that functions in Vk are close-to-convex in . Here we show that Vk is a subclass of the class K(α) of close-to-convex functions of order α (10) for , and we give an upper bound for the valency of functions in Vk for K>4.
