Abstract
Let \({\mathbb D}\) be the open unit disc in the complex plane, and let \({\mathcal {A}}(p)\) be the class of all functions f holomorphic in \({\mathbb D}\setminus \{p\}\) having a simple pole at \(z=p\in (0,1)\) with \(f'(0)\ne 0.\) In this article, we present lower estimates of the Landau and the Bloch constants for functions in \({\mathcal A}(p)\) in the Euclidean metric. We also improve these estimates of the Landau and the Bloch constants by considering an interesting subclass of \({\mathcal A}(p)\).
