Abstract
In the present paper, we derive a property of analytic functions \(p(z) = 1 + p_{n}z^{n} + \cdots \) with fixed initial coefficients in their series expansion, which satisfy the condition \( -\pi \beta /2 < \arg p(z_{1}) < \arg p(z) < \arg p(z_{2}) = \pi \alpha /2\), for some \(z_{1}\) and \(z_{2}\) with \(|z_{1}|=|z_{2}|=r<1\) and for all z with \(|z|<r\), where \(0<\alpha \le 2\) and \(0<\beta \le 2\). Using this property, we obtain some sufficient conditions for normalized analytic functions \(f(z) = z + a_{n+1}z^{n+1} + \cdots \) by considering the fixed initial coefficients to satisfy \(-\pi \beta /2 < \arg \left\{ zf'(z)/f(z) - \gamma \right\} < \pi \alpha /2\) for all z in the unit disk \({\mathbb {U}}\) on the complex plane, where \(0 \le \alpha , \beta < 1\), and \(\gamma =0\) or 1 / 2.
