Abstract

Let S 0 ( H γ ) denote the class of all univalent, harmonic, sense-preserving and normalized mappings f of the unit disk D onto the slanted half-plane H γ : = { w :Re( e iγ w ) > −1/2} with an additional condition f z (0) = 0. Functions in this class can be constructed by the shear construction due to Clunie and Sheil-Small which allows by examining their conformal counterpart. Unlike the conformal case, convolution of two univalent harmonic convex mappings in D is not necessarily even univalent in D. In this paper, we fix f 0 ∈ S 0 ( H 0 ) and show that the convolutions of f 0 and some slanted half-plane harmonic mapping are still convex in a particular direction. The results of the paper enhance the interest among harmonic mappings and, in particular, solve a recent open problem of Dorff et al. in a more general setting. Finally, we present some basic examples of functions and their corresponding convolution functions with specified dilatations, and illustrate them graphically with the help of MATHEMATICA software. These examples explain the behaviour of the image domains.
