Harmonic functions starlike in the unit disk. (English) Zbl 0940.30003
An objective of this note is to study properties of sense preserving harmonic mappings $$f(z)= z+ a_2z^2+\cdots+ b_1\overline z+\cdots,|z|<1$$ that satisfy the condition $${\partial\over\partial\theta} (\arg f'(re^{i\theta}))\geq \alpha$$, $$0\leq\alpha< 1$$, $$|z|= r$$. Sufficient conditions (under some restrictions also necessary) are given and certain extremal questions are answered.
