The Fekete--Szeg\"{o} problem and filtration of generators

Abstract

In this paper we study an interpolation problem involving the Fekete--Szeg\"{o} functional. It turns out that this problem links to the so-called filtration of infinitesimal generators. We introduce new filtration classes using the non-linear differential operator \[\alpha\frac{f(z)}{z}+\beta\frac{zf'(z)}{f(z)}+(1-\alpha-\beta)\left(1+\frac{zf''(z)}{f'(z)}\right)\] and establish certain properties of these classes. Sharp upper bounds of the modulus of the Fekete--Szeg\"{o} functional over some filtration classes are found. We also present open problems for further study.
