Abstract

We continue our investigation on a second variation formula of the Koebe function in the class \(\Sigma \) of functions analytic and univalent in the exterior of the unit disk. Our aim is to give some supporting evidence of a conjecture raised by William Kirwan on the coefficients of functions in this class.
