## Extreme points and convolution properties of some classes of multivalent functions.(English)Zbl 0858.30013

Throughout each function $$f$$ is assumed to be analytic in the open unit disk and have a power series of the form $$f(z)= z^p+\sum^\infty_{k=p+1}a_kz^k$$, where $$p$$ is a positive integer. For $$0\leq \alpha<1$$ let $$S^*_p(\alpha)$$ denote the set of $$p$$-valent starlike functions of order $$\alpha$$ in the form of $$f$$. For $$n\geq-p+1$$ let $$D^{n+p-1}f(z)={z^p\over(1-z)^{n+p}}* f(z)$$, where $$*$$ indicates the Hadamard product of the two series. Let $${\mathcal R}_n(p,\alpha)$$ denote the set of functions $$f$$ satisfying $$\text{Re }F(z)>p\alpha$$ and $\int^\pi_{-\pi} \text{Re }F(z)d\theta=2\pi p\;(z=re^{i\theta},\;0<r<1),$ where $$F(z)={z\{D^{n+p-1}f(z)\}'\over D^{n+p-1}f(z)}$$. Also, let $$K_n(p)$$ denote the $$p$$-valent functions $$f$$ such that
$$\text{Re}\{{D^{n+p}f(z)\over D^{n+p-1}f(z)}\}>1/2$$ for $$|z|<1$$.
In this paper, the extreme points are determined for the closed convex hulls of $${\mathcal R}_n(p,\alpha)$$ as well as for $$K_n(p)$$. It is also shown that the sets $${\mathcal R}_n(p,\alpha)$$ are nondecreasing in $$n$$. Another result asserts that each function in $${\mathcal R}_n(p,0)$$ is also $$p$$-valent convex of order $$\alpha$$ whenever $$n\geq{2(p+1)^4\over p(1-\alpha)}$$. Also $$f\in {\mathcal R}_n(p,\alpha)$$ if and only if $$f(z)*G(z)\neq 0$$ for $$0<|z|<1$$, where $G(z)={z^p+{(n+p)x+n+p(2\alpha-1)\over 2p(1-\alpha)} z^{p+1}\over (1-z)^{n+p+1}}\quad \text{and } |x|=1.$
