Starlike Functions Associated with a Non-Convex Domain

Abstract

We introduce and study a class of starlike functions associated with the non-convex domain \[ \mathcal{S}^*_{nc} = \left\{ f \in \mathcal{A} : \frac{z f'(z)}{f(z)} \prec \frac{1+z}{\cos{z}} =: \varphi_{nc}(z), \;\; z \in \mathbb{D} \right\}. \] Key results include the growth and distortion theorems, initial coefficient bounds, and the sharp estimates for third-order Hankel and Hermitian-Toeplitz determinants. We also examine inclusion relations, radius problems for certain subclasses, and subordination results. These findings enrich the theory of starlike functions associated with non-convex domains, offering new perspectives in geometric function theory.
