Applying the Faber polynomial coe¢ cient expansions to certain classes of meromorphic bi-starlike functions,
we demonstrate the unpredictability of their early coe¢ cients and also obtain general coe¢ cient estimates for
such functions subject to a given gap series condition. Our results improve some of the coe¢ cient bounds
published earlier.
Let

g(z) =

that are univalent in the punctured unit disk D := fz : 0 < jzj < 1g :
For the real constants A and B (0 B 1; B A < B) let (A; B) consist of functions g 2
so that
zg 0 (z)

=

1 + B'(z)

where '(z) = n=1 cn z is a Schwarz function, that is, '(z) is analytic in the open unit disk jzj < 1
and j'(z)j jzj < 1: Note that jcn j 1 (Duren [8]) and the functions in (A; B) are meromorphic
starlike in the punctured unit disk D (e.g. see Clunie [7] and Karunakaran [12]). It has been proved
by Libera and Livingston [15] and Karunakaran [12] that jbn j Bn+1A for g 2 [A; B]:
The coe¢ cients of h = g 1 , the inverse map of g; are given by the Faber polynomial expansion (e.g.

In 1923, Lowner [16] proved that the inverse of the Koebe function k(z) = z=(1 z)2 provides the
best upper bounds for the coe¢ cients of the inverses of analytic univalent functions. Although the
estimates for the coe¢ cients of the inverses of analytic univalent functions have been obtained in a
surprisingly straightforward way (e.g. see [13, page 104]), but the case turns out to be a challenge when
the bi-univalency condition is imposed on these functions. A function is said to be bi-univalent in a
1
Jahangiri and Hamidi

given domain if both the function and its inverse are univalent there. By the same token, a function is
said to be bi-starlike in a given domain if both the function and its inverse are starlike there. Finding
bounds for the coe¢ cients of classes of bi-univalent functions dates back to 1967 (see Lewin [14]).
The interest on the bounds for the coe¢ cients of subclasses of bi-univalent functions picked up by
the publications [6], [17], [9], [1] and [10] where the estimates for the …rst two coe¢ cients of certain
classes of bi-univalent functions were provided. Not much is known about the higher coe¢ cients of
subclasses bi-univalent functions as Ali, Lee, Ravichandran and Supramaniam [1] also declared …nding
the bounds for jan j; n 4 an open problem. In this paper, we use the Faber polynomial expansions
of the functions g and h = g 1 in (A; B) to obtain bounds for their general coe¢ cients jan j as well
as providing estimates for the early coe¢ cients of these types of functions.
We shall need the following well-known two lemmas, the …rst of which can be found in [11] (also
see Duren [8]).

Lemma 1. Let p(z) = 1 + 1
n=1 pn z be so that Re(p(z)) > 0 for jzj < 1: If
2 then
p2 + p21
(2)
2 + jp1 j2 :
Consequently, we have the following lemma, which we shall provide a short proof for the sake of
completeness.
Lemma 2. Consider the Schwarz function '(z) =

where j'(z)j < 1 for jzj < 1: If
0
1)jc1 j2 :
Proof. Write
p(z) = [1 + '(z)]=[1 '(z)]
where p(z) = 1 + n=1 pn
is so that Re(p(z)) > 0 for jzj < 1. Comparing the corresponding
coe¢ cients of powers of z in p(z) = [1 + '(z)]=[1 '(z)] shows that p1 = 2c1 and p2 = 2(c2 + c21 ).
By substituting for p1 = 2c1 and p2 = 2(c2 + c21 ) in (2) we obtain
P1
zn
2(c2 + c21 ) + (2c1 )2
or
2 + j2c1 j2
c2 + (1 + 2 )c21
1 + 2 jc1 j2 :
Now (3) follows upon substation of = 1 + 2
0 in the above inequality.
In the following theorem we shall observe the unpredictability of the early coe¢ cients of the functions
g and its inverse map h = g 1 in [A; B] as well as providing an estimate for the general coe¢ cients
of such functions.

(d1 ; d2 ;

Substituting n = 0, n = 1, and n = 2 in equations (6), (9) and (10), respectively, yield
b0 = (A B)c1 ;
b0 = (A B)d1 ;

and

d2 ):
Taking the absolute values of either of the equation in (11), we obtain jb0 j
B A: Obviously,
from the equations (11) we note that c1 = d1 . Solving the equations in (12) for b20 and then adding
them gives
2b20 = (B A) c2 + d2 Bc21 Bd21 :
Now in light of equations (11), we conclude that
2b20 = (B
A) c2 + d2

Once again, solving for b20 and taking square root of both sides we obtain

Now the …rst part of Theorem 1 follows since for 2B A > 1 it is easy to see that

Adding the equations in (12) and using the fact that c1 =
4b1 = (B

Dividing by 4 and taking the absolute values of both sides yield

On the other hand, from the second equations in (11) and (12) we obtain
2b1 = (B

2Bd21 ):
Taking the absolute values of both sides and applying Lemma 2 it follows

jb1 j

given by our Theorem 1 show that the coe¢ cient bound jbn j Bn+1A is not sharp for the meromorphic
bi-starlike functions, that is, if both g and its inverse map g 1 are in [A; B]. Finding sharp coe¢ cient
bound for meromorphic bi-starlike functions remains an open problem.
