In this paper, we investigate the properties of locally univalent and multivalent planar harmonic mappings. First, we discuss the coefficient estimates and Landau's Theorem for some classes of locally univalent harmonic mappings, and then we study some Lipschitz-type spaces for locally univalent and multivalent harmonic mappings.
In this paper, we establish a three circles type theorem, involving the harmonic area function, for harmonic mappings. Also, we give bounds for length and area distortion for harmonic quasiconformal mappings. Finally, we will study certain Lipschitz-type spaces on harmonic mappings.
In this paper, we study harmonic mappings by using the shear construction, introduced by Clunie and Sheil-Small in 1984. We consider two classes of conformal mappings, each of which maps the unit disk D univalently onto a domain which is convex in the horizontal direction, and shear these mappings with suitable dilatations ω. Mappings of the first class map the unit disk D onto four-slit domains and mappings of the second class take D onto regular n-gons. In addition, we discuss the minimal surfaces associated with such harmonic mappings. Furthermore, illustrations of mappings and associated minimal surfaces are given by using Mathematica.
Let ${\mathcal H}$ denote the class of all normalized complex-valued harmonic functions $f=h+\bar{g}$ in the unit disk ${\mathbb D}$, and let $K=H+\bar{G}$ denote the harmonic Koebe function. Let $a_n,b_n, A_n, B_n$ denote the Maclaurin coefficients of $h,g,H,G$, and $${\mathcal F}=\{f=h+\bar{g}\in {\mathcal H}:\,|a_n|\leq A_n and |b_n|\leq B_n for n\geq 1}. $$ We show that the radius of univalence of the family ${\mathcal F}$ is $0.112903...$. We also show that this number is also the radius of the starlikeness of ${\mathcal F}$. Analogous results are proved for a subclass of the class of harmonic convex functions in ${\mathcal H}$. These results are obtained as a consequence of a new coefficient inequality for certain class of harmonic close-to-convex functions. Surprisingly, the new coefficient condition helps to improve Bloch-Landau constant for bounded harmonic mappings.
In this paper our aim is to show some mean value inequalities for the modified Bessel functions of the first and second kinds. Our proofs are based on some bounds for the logarithmic derivatives of these functions, which are in fact equivalent to the corresponding Turán type inequalities for these functions. As an application of the results concerning the modified Bessel function of the second kind we prove that the cumulative distribution function of the gamma-gamma distribution is log-concave. At the end of this paper several open problems are posed, which may be of interest for further research.
In this note it is formulated the J. C. C. Nitsche type conjecture for bi-harmonic mappings. The conjecture has been motivated by the radial bi-harmonic mappings between annuli.
In this note our aim is to point out that certain inequalities for modified Bessel functions of the first and second kind, deduced recently by Laforgia and Natalini, are in fact equivalent to the corresponding Turán type inequalities for these functions. Moreover, we present some new Turán type inequalities for the aforementioned functions and we show that their product is decreasing as a function of the order, which has application in the study of stability of radially symmetric solutions in a generalized FitzHugh-Nagumo equation in two spatial dimensions. At the end of this note a conjecture is posed, which may be of interest for further research.
Let $\ID$ denote the open unit disk and $f:\,\ID\TO\BAR\IC$ be meromorphic and univalent in $\ID$ with the simple pole at $p\in (0,1)$ and satisfying the standard normalization $f(0)=f'(0)-1=0$. Also, let $f$ have the expansion $$f(z)=\sum_{n=-1}^{\infty}a_n(z-p)^n,\quad |z-p|<1-p, $$ such that $f$ maps $\ID$ onto a domain whose complement with respect to $\BAR{\IC}$ is a convex set (starlike set with respect to a point $w_0\in \IC, w_0\neq 0$ resp.). We call these functions as concave (meromorphically starlike resp.) univalent functions and denote this class by $Co(p)$ $(Σ^s(p, w_0)$ resp.). We prove some coefficient estimates for functions in the classes where the sharpness of these estimates is also achieved.
