The second and third Hankel determinants for certain classes of functions

Abstract

Let $\mathcal{A}$ denote the class of analytic functions such that $f(0)=0$ and $f'(0)=1$ in the unit disk $\mathbb{D}:=\{z \in \mathbb{C}: |z|<1\}.$ In this paper, we consider $\mathcal{S}^*(\varphi) := \left\{ f \in \mathcal{A} : zf'(z)/f(z) \prec \varphi(z):=(1+z/2)^2 \right\}$, a subclass of starlike functions and we compute the sharp second and third Hankel determinants for the functions in $\mathcal{S}^*(\varphi)$. Furthermore, we determine the extremal functions for the coefficient bounds of the functions belonging to $\mathcal{S}^*(\varphi)$.
