Abstract

Let f be a normalized analytic function defined on the unit disk and fλ(z):=(1λ)z+λf(z) for 0<λ1. For α>0, a function f𝒮𝒫(α,λ) if zf(z)/fλ(z) lies in the parabolic region Ω:={w:|wα|<Re ⁡w+α}. Let 𝒞𝒫(α,λ) be the corresponding class consisting of functions f such that (zf(z))/fλ(z) lies in the region Ω. For an appropriate δ>0, the δ-neighbourhood of a function f𝒞𝒫(α,λ) is shown to consist of functions in the class 𝒮𝒫(α,λ).
