Subordination of functions in subclass of Bazilevič Functions B 1(α, β)

Let f be analytic in the unit disc D = {z : |z| < 1} with f ( z ) = z + ∑ n = 2 ∞ a n z n , and for α ≥ 0 and 0 < β ≤ 1, let B 1(α, ß), denote for the class of Bazilevič functions satisfying the expression | arg z 1 − α f ′ ( z ) f ( z ) 1 − α | < β π 2 . We give sharp estimates for various coefficient problems for functions in B 1(α, β), which unify and extend well-known results for starlike functions, strongly starlike functions and functions whose derivative has positive real part in domain D.

Solving an inverse elliptic coefficient problem by convex non-linear semidefinite programming

Several applications in medical imaging and non-destructive material testing lead to inverse elliptic coefficient problems, where an unknown coefficient function in an elliptic PDE is to be determined from partial knowledge of its solutions. This is usually a highly non-linear ill-posed inverse problem, for which unique reconstructability results, stability estimates and global convergence of numerical methods are very hard to achieve. The aim of this note is to point out a new connection between inverse coefficient problems and semidefinite programming that may help addressing these challenges. We show that an inverse elliptic Robin transmission problem with finitely many measurements can be equivalently rewritten as a uniquely solvable convex non-linear semidefinite optimization problem. This allows to explicitly estimate the number of measurements that is required to achieve a desired resolution, to derive an error estimate for noisy data, and to overcome the problem of local minima that usually appears in optimization-based approaches for inverse coefficient problems.

Coefficient bounds in the class of functions associated with $q$-function theory

In this paper, we use the concept of $q$-calculus in geometric function theory. For some $\alpha$, $\alpha\in [0,1)$, we consider normalized analytic functions $f$ such that $f’(z)/{\rm d}_qf(z)$ lies in half-plane $\{w:\mathfrak {Re}\ w>\alpha\}$ for all $z$, $|z|< 1$. Here ${\rm d}_q$ is the Jackson $q$-derivative operator well-known in the $q$-calculus theory. The paper is devoted to the coefficient problems of such functions for real and for complex numbers $q$. Coefficient bounds are of particular interest, because of them some geometrical properties of the function can be obtained.

Teichmuller space theory and classical problems of geometric function theory

Recently the author has presented a new approach to solving the coefficient problems for holomorphic functions based on the deep features of Teichmüller spaces. It involves the Bers isomorphism theorem for Teichmüller spaces of punctured Riemann surfaces. The aim of the present paper is to provide new applications of this approach and extend the indicated results to more general classes of functions.

On Coefficient Problems for Functions Connected with the Sine Function

In this paper, some coefficient problems for starlike analytic functions with respect to symmetric points are considered. Bounds of several coefficient functionals for functions belonging to this class are provided. The main aim of this paper is to find estimates for the following: coefficients, logarithmic coefficients, some cases of the generalized Zalcman coefficient functional, and some cases of the Hankel determinant.

Simple Positivity Preserving Nonlinear Finite Volume Scheme for Subdiffusion Equations on General Non-conforming Distorted Meshes

We propose a positivity preserving finite volume scheme on non-conforming quadrilateral distorted meshes with hanging nodes for subdiffusion equations, where the differential equations have a sum of time-fractional derivatives of different orders, and the typical solutions of the problem have a weak singularity at the initial time t =0 for given smooth data. In this paper, a positivity-preserving nonlinear method with centered unknowns is obtained by the two point flux technique, where a new method to handling vertex-unknown including hanging nodes is the highlight of our paper. For each time derivative, we apply the L1 scheme on a temporal graded mesh. Especially, the existence of a solution is strictly proved for the nonlinear system by applying the Brouwer’s fixed point theorem. Numerical results show that the proposed positivity-preserving method is effective for strongly anisotropic and heterogeneous full tensor subdiffusion coefficient problems.

Generalizing Certain Analytic Functions Correlative to the n-th Coefficient of Certain Class of Bi-Univalent Functions

In the present paper, the authors implement the two analytic functions with its positive real part in the open unit disk. New types of polynomials are introduced, and by using these polynomials with the Faber polynomial expansion, a formula is structured to solve certain coefficient problems. This formula is applied to a certain class of bi-univalent functions and solve the n -th term of its coefficient problems. In the last section of the article, several well-known classes are also extended to its n -th term.
