Introduction

Let A (p) denote the class of f normalized univalent functions of the form

a n+p z n+p

f z =z +

, (a n+p 0, p = {1,2,3, })

(1.1)

n=1

analytic and p-valent in the unit disc E = {z : z C;|z| < 1}.

A function f(z) A (p) is said to in the class of Sp () p-valently starlike function of order (0 < p)
if it satisfies, for z E, the condition

z f ' (z)

Re
f(z)

(1.2)

Furthermore, a function f(z) A (p) is said to in the class p () of p-valently convex function of
order (0 < p) if it satisfies, for z E, the condition

z f '' (z)

Re 1 '
f (z)

(1.3)

It follows from the definition (1.2) and (1.3) that

f(z) p ()

zf z
p

Sp ()

(0 < p)

(1.4)

whose special case, when = 0 is the familiar Alexander theorem (see for example [1] p.43, Theorem 2.12). We
also note that
p Sp
(0 < p)
Sp Sp 0 Sp
( 0 < p)
and
p p 0 p
(0 < p)
Where Sp and p denote the subclasses of A (p) consisting of p-valently starlike and convex functions
in unit disk E respectively.
Let p (, ) denote the subclass of A (p) consisting of functions analytic and p-valent which can be express in
the form

a n+p z n+p

f z =z

, a n+p 0

n=1

The subclass p , of p-valent functions with negative coefficients is studied by H. M. Srivastava

and M. K. Auof [2].
Following S. Owa [3], we say that a function f(z) p is in the subclass p (, ) if and only if

f z + pz1p (1 2)
The subclass p ,
was studied by Goel and Sohi [4]. Moreover S. Owa studied several
interesting results on radius of convexity for p-valent function with negative coefficients. In this present paper
we investigate sharp results concerning coefficient inequalities, distortion theorem and radius of convexity for
class the p , .

Theorem 2.1

A function

Main Result

f z = zp

, a n+p 0

n=1

is in the class p , if and only if

n + p (1 + ) a n+p 2 1 p

(2.1)

n=1

The result is sharp.

Proof: Assume (2.1) holds. We show that f z p (, ).
Let z = 1. We have,

a n+p z n+p

f z =z

f z = pz

(2.2)

n=1

a n+p n + p z n+p1

Now,

f z pz

p1

a n+p n + p z n+p1 pz p1

a n+p n + p z n+p1

n=1

Also,
f z + pz p1 (1 2)

= pz

p1

a n+p n + p z n+p1 + pz p1 (1 2)
n=1

a n+p n + p z n+p1 + 2pz p1 2pz p1

=
n=1

Then,
f z pz p1 f z + pz p1 (1 2)

a n+p n + p z n+p1

=

a n+p n + p z n+p1 + 2pz p1 2pz p1
