Denote by \(S_H\) the class of functions \(f\) of the form: (1) \(f= h+\overline g\) that are harmonic univalent and sense-preserving in the unit disc \(\Delta= \{z:| z|< 1\}\) for which \(f(0)= f_z(0)- 1=0\) and by \(S^0_H\) the subclass of \(S_H\) for which \(f_{\overline z}(0)= 0\).
Let: (2) \(h(z)= z+\sum^\infty_{n= 2} a_nz^n\), \(g(z)= \sum^\infty_{n= 2} b_nz^n\), \(z\in \Delta\). Denote by \(S^{*0}_H\) and \(K^0_H\) the subclasses of \(S^0_H\) consisting of functions \(f\) that map \(\Delta\) onto starlike and convex domains, respectively. Let \(T^{*0}_H\) and \(TK^0_H\) be the subclasses of \(S^{*0}_H\) and \(K^0_H\), respectively, whose coefficients \(f= h+\overline g\) take the form: (3) \(h(z)= z- \sum^\infty_{n= 2} a_nz^n\), \(a_n\geq 0\); \(g(z)= -\sum^\infty_{n=2} b_nz^n\), \(b_n\geq 0\), \(z\in\Delta\).
In the present paper mentioned above classes of harmonic functions are considered. The author proves among others: Theorem 1. If \(f\) of the form (1-2) satisfies \(\sum^\infty_{n= 2}n(| a_n|+| b_n|)\leq 1\), then \(f\in S^{*0}_H\). Corollary 1. If \(f\) of the form (1-2) satisfies \(\sum^\infty_{n= 2} n^2(| a_n|+ | b_n|)\leq 1\), then \(f\in K^0_H\). Theorem 2. For \(f\) of the form (1), (3), \(f\in T^{*0}_H\) if and only if \(\sum^\infty_{n= 2} n(a_n+ b_n)\leq 1\). Theorem 3. For \(f\) of the form (1), (3), \(f\in TK^0_H\) if and only if \(\sum^\infty_{n= 2} n^2(a_n+ b_n)\leq 1\).
