Sharp Coefficient Estimates for the Exponential Starlike class $\mathcal{S}_{ex}^{\ast}$

Abstract

In this paper, we investigate several coefficient problems for the subclass $\mathcal{S}_{ex}^{\ast}$ of normalized analytic starlike functions defined by the subordination condition $\frac{zf&#39;(z)}{f(z)} \prec e^{αz}$ ($0 < α\le 1$). We first obtain sharp upper bounds for the initial inverse logarithmic coefficients $Γ_1, Γ_2$, and $Γ_3$. We then establish sharp upper and lower bounds for the consecutive difference $|Γ_2| - |Γ_1|$ and determine the sharp bounds for the second-order inverse logarithmic Hankel determinant $H_{2,1}(F_{f^{-1}}/2)$. Furthermore, sharp upper and lower bounds for the third-order Hermitian--Toeplitz determinant $T_{3,1}(f)$ are derived. Finally, we provide a complete solution for the generalized Fekete--Szegő functional $|a_3 - λa_2^2| - μ|a_2|$ within this class. In each case, the bounds are shown to be sharp and the corresponding extremal functions are explicitly given.
