Certain subclass of analytic functions defined by means of differential subordination

For ??(?,?], let Ra(?) denote the class of all normalized analytic functions in the open unit disk U satisfying the following differential subordination: f'(z)+1/2(1+ei?)z f''(z)<?(z) z ? U), where the function ?(z) is analytic in the open unit disk U such that ?(0)=1. In this paper, various integral and convolution characterizations, coefficient estimates and differential subordination results for functions belonging to the class R?(?) are investigated. The Fekete-Szeg? coefficient functional associated with the kth root transform [f(zk)]1/k of functions in R?(?) is obtained. A similar problem for a corresponding class R?,?(?) of bi-univalent functions is also considered. Connections with previous known results are pointed out.
