Radius of starlikeness for some classes containing non-univalent functions

Abstract

A starlike univalent function [Formula: see text] is characterized by [Formula: see text]; several subclasses of starlike functions were studied in the past by restricting [Formula: see text] to take values in a region [Formula: see text] on the right-half plane, or, equivalently, by requiring [Formula: see text] to be subordinate to the corresponding mapping of the unit disk [Formula: see text] to the region [Formula: see text]. The mappings [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], defined by [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] map the unit disk [Formula: see text] to certain nice regions in the right-half plane. For normalized analytic functions [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are subordinate to the function [Formula: see text] for some analytic functions [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], we determine the sharp radius for them to belong to various subclasses of starlike functions.
