Let S be the usual class of univalent analytic functionsf on (zIz I < 1) normalized byf(z) = z + a2z2 + . We prove that the functions z (X +y)z2 f,((z) = 1_)2 IxI = IyI=l, x #Y, which are support points of C(, the subclass of S of close-to-convex functions, and extreme points of 9C C, are support points of S and extreme points of 9CCS whenever 0 < larg(-x/y)l < 7r/4. We observe that the known bound of ir/4 for the acute angle between the omitted arc of a support point of S and the radius vector is achieved by the functions fx, with Jarg(-x/y)J = ir/4. Introduction. Let d be the set of analytic functions on the open unit disk. With the usual topology of uniform convergence on compacta C is a locally convex linear topological space. Suppose 93 c 6d. A function b in % is called a support point of 93 if b maximizes Re J over i for some continuous linear functional J on i? such that Re J is not constant on . Let 5C % denote the closed convex hull of %. A function b in 9C% is called an extreme point of 9C% if b = tbl + (1t)b2 implies b = b = b2 whenever 0 < t < 1 and b,, b2 E SC . Let S be the usual class of univalent functions f in 6! normalized by f(z) = z + 2 1 . 2A L.Bika D. R. a2Z + A. Pfluger [10] and L. Brickman and D. R. Wilken (3] have shown that if f is a support point of 5, then f maps the open unit disk to the complement of an analytic arc IF, which tends to xo with increasing modulus. Furthermore, r satisfies the 7T/4-property, i.e., if r is oriented so that r is (positively) traversed from the finite tip to oo, then the angle between the oriented tangent vector to r and the radius vector to r at any point is less than or equal to sr/4, with strict inequality at each point of r except possibly at the finite tip. In an early paper [1] L. Brickman proved that if f in S is an extreme point of S5, then f maps the open unit disk to the complement of an arc which tends to so with increasing modulus. Later W. E. Kirwan and R. W. Pell [9] improved Brickman's result. A special case of their result states that if f in S is an extreme point of 'CS and if the omitted arc of f is smooth, then the omitted arc of f satisfies the v/4-property, albeit, not necessarily with strict inequality. Since S and SCS are compact a lemma in Dunford and Schwartz [5, p. 440] implies that if f is an extreme point of CX 5, then f ES. The following lemma shows that in certain cases we can identify support points of S as extreme points of Received by the editors February 10, 1980; presented to the Society, August 19, 1980. 1980 Mathematics Subject Classification.
