Inclusion relations and radius problems for a subclass of starlike functions

Abstract

By considering the polynomial function $\phi_{car}(z)=1+z+z^2/2,$ we define the class $\Scar$ consisting of normalized analytic functions $f$ such that $zf'/f$ is subordinate to $\phi_{car}$ in the unit disk. The inclusion relations and various radii constants associated with the class $\Scar$ and its connection with several well-known subclasses of starlike functions is established. As an application, the obtained results are applied to derive the properties of the partial sums and convolution.
