In this effort, we present a new definition of the Steiner symmetrization by using special analytic functions in a complex domain (the open unit disk) with respect to the origin. This definition will be used to optimize the class of univalent analytic functions. Our method is based on the concept of differential subordination and the Carathéodory theory. Examples are illustrated in the sequel involving the modified Libera–Livingston–Bernardi integral operator over the open unit disk. The result gives that this integral satisfies the definition of bounded turning function (univalent analytic function).

1 Introduction

In convex geometry, the process of “Steiner symmetrization” is used to change an existing convex body into a symmetric one when compared with a particular axis or plane. Steiner symmetrization takes a convex body and replaces every point with the midpoint of the line segment that goes from that point to its reflection across the selected axis or plane. Because the resultant symmetric body and the original body share some geometric features, analysis of the half plane becomes simpler. This transformation may streamline computations and provide insightful findings in specific situations, such as geometric inequalities and optimization issues affecting convex bodies. The definition of Steiner symmetrization in a complex domain admits many formulas. Smith et al. [1] suggested some Poincare domains Ω to define Steiner symmetrization, which are as follows:

Ω*={ζ=χ+iy:|y|<Ωχ2<,ΩØ}

Peretz [2] considered the formula in the open unit disk Ω: = {ζ ∈ ℂ:|ζ| < 1} as follows:

Ω*={ζΩ:(ζ)>0}.

The above definitions can sometimes yield loss in information when symmetrizing a shape or function. This situation might not be desired, especially if the original shape or function's features or properties are crucial for analysis or interpretation. Depending on the original form or function being symmetrical, Steiner symmetrization may or may not be successful. The application of this type of approach may be limited by some geometries or functions that are not well suited for symmetrization using this method. Moreover, the computational cost of Steiner symmetrization can be high, particularly for intricate forms or functions. For some applications, especially those that call for real-time or very real-time analysis, this computing expense can render it unfeasible. Therefore, we aim to enhance the above definitions using special functions.

In this study, we consider the function (see Figure 1) as follows:

L(ζ)=log(1+ζ1-ζ),|ζ|<1,L(0)=0.

This function maps Ω conformally onto the horizontal strip Π = {ζ:|ℑζ| < π/2}. Moreover, this function maps the hyperbolic geodesic (−1, 1) onto the real axis, and it maps the curves equidistant from (−1, 1) onto the horizontal lines Π. To define the Steiner symmetrization, we need the following function:

S(ζ)=1+log(1+ζ1-ζ)        =1+2ζ+(2ζ3)3+(2ζ5)5+O(ζ6),

where S(0) = 1 (see Figure 2). Then, the Steiner symmetrization becomes

Ωφ*={φP:|φ(ζ)|1+log(1+r1-r),0<r<1},

where φ is analytic function in ΩP, where P is the class of analytic function with the power series

φ(ζ)=1+a1ζ+a2ζ2+....

such that φ(0) = 1. A good example of this function (or the extreme function of this class) is the Janowski function [3], which will be investigated in the next section.

Our goal is to maximize the class of analytic functions that are univalent. The Carathéodory theory and the idea of differential subordination serve as the foundation for our approach. In the sequel, illustrations are given. The study is organized as follows: Section 2 deals with preliminaries and Section 3 involves the main results.

2 Methods

For two analytic functions, f1(ζ) and f2(ζ) in Ω are called subordinated denoting by f1(ζ) ≺ f2(ζ) if they satisfy f1(0) = f2(0) and the inclusion property f1(Ω) ⊂ f2(Ω) (see [4]). As an application, Ma-Minda formula for some special classes

(ζf(ζ)f(ζ))ϱ(ζ),ϱ(ζ)=1+ϱ1ζ+ϱ2ζ2+...P

for starlike functions, and

(1+ζf(ζ)f(ζ))ρ(ζ),ρ(ζ)=1+ρ1ζ+ρ2ζ2+...P

for convex functions, where ρ has a positive real part in Ω, ρ(0) = 1 and f(ζ)N(Ω), the normalized class of analytic functions in Ω with f(0) = 0 and f′(0) = 1. Thus, f admits the power series

f(ζ)=ζ+n=2anζn,ζΩ.

In fact, the function f is starlike whenever (ζf(ζ)f(ζ))P, and it is convex when (1+ζf(ζ)f(ζ))P.

The function log(1-ζ1+ζ) is starlike whenever −1 < ℜ(ζ) < 0 or 0 < ℜ(ζ) < 1. Moreover, it is convex whenever, −1 < ℜ(ζ) < 1 and

-1-(ζ)2<(ζ)<1-(ζ)2,ζΩ.

This function is considered for symmetrization in the study mentioned in Betsakos et al. [5]. While for the function 1+(log(1+ζ1-ζ)) is starlike and convex when −1 < ℜ(ζ) < 0 or 0 < ℜ(ζ) < 1. Note that (1+ζ1-ζ) is an extreme Janowski function.

In our investigation, we concern about the Carathéodory function (a function that maps Ω onto the right half plane), φ(ζ), which is involved in the inequalities (see Figure 3):

1+σk(ζφ(ζ)[φ(ζ)]k)1+ζ1-ζ,k=0,1,2,

where φ(0) = 1 and ℜ(φ) > 0.

Figure 3
www.frontiersin.org

Figure 3. ComplexPlot3D of 1+ζ1-ζ.

Our aim is to determine the upper bound of the parameter σ, where the function ϱ ∈ Ω is analytic such that ϱ(0) = 1 and ℜ(ϱ(ζ)) > 0. Note that the condition of Ωφ*, where φ(0) = 1, ℜ(φ) > 0 is equivalent to achieve the inequality:

φ(ζ)1+log(1+ζ1-ζ),ζΩ,

where the function 1+ζ1-ζ is a Carathéodory function. Moreover, the function 1+log1+ζ1-ζ has a root ζ=1+e1-e and two branch points at ζ = ±1, with the power series at ζ = −1

1+log(1+ζ1ζ)=(log(ζ+1)+1                          log(2))+(ζ+1)2+18(ζ+1)2                          +124(ζ+1)3+164(ζ+1)4+O((ζ+1)5)

and at ζ = 1 when (1(1-ζ))>0

1+log(1+ζ1ζ)=(log(2/(ζ1))+(ζ1)2                         18(ζ1)2+124(ζ1)3164(ζ1)4                         +1160(ζ1)51384(ζ1)6+                         O((ζ1)7))*+1.

The notion of the Carathéodory function, often referred to as the Carathéodory kernel function, is principally used in the theory of univalent functions, which are complex functions that are holomorphic (analytic) and injective (one-to-one).

3 Results

In this part, we illustrate the main results.

Theorem 3.1. Assume that the function φ ∈ Ω is analytic such that φ(0) = 1 and ℜ(φ(ζ)) > 0. If

1+σk(ζφ(ζ)[φ(ζ)]k)1+ζ1-ζ,k=0,1,2    (1)

then

φ(ζ)1+log(1+ζ1-ζ),ζΩ,    (2)

where

σ0=log(4)log(3)=1.26186,σ1=log(4)log(1+log(3))=1.8701,σ2=5.35044041019216.

Proof: Case 1.

Let k = 0. Then, by Equation 1, we get:

1+σ0(ζφ(ζ))1+ζ1-ζ,ζΩ.

Define a function Φσ0:Ω → ℂ as follows:

Φσ0(ζ)=1-(2log(σ0-σ0ζ))σ0+(2log(σ0))σ0.

Clearly, Φσ0(ζ) is analytic in Ω such that Φσ0(0) = 1, and it is a solution of the first order differential equation

1+σ0(ζΦσ0(ζ))=1+ζ1-ζ,ζΩ

Burt 1+ζ1-ζ is starlike in Ω, and then according to Miller-Mocanu Lemma in Miller and Mocanu [4] -P132, the subordination

1+σ0(ζφ(ζ))1+σ0(ζΦσ0(ζ))

yields

φ(ζ)Φσ0(ζ),ζΩ.

Now, we aim to show that

Φσ0(ζ)1+log(1+ζ1-ζ),ζΩ.

Obviously, Φσ0(ζ) achieves the inequality

1-2log(3/2)σ0=Φσ0(-12)Φσ0(12)=1+2log(2)σ0,σ0>0.

Since 1+log(1-ζ1+ζ) satisfies the following inequality

-0.09861...=1-log(3)=(1+log(1+ζ1-ζ))|ζ=-1/2                                                           (1+log(1+ζ1-ζ))|ζ=1/2=                                                         1+log(3)=2.0986...    (3)

this function has two branch points ζ = ±1, and then, we get

1-log(3)<1-2log(3/2)σ0=Φσ0(-12)Φσ0(12)=1+2log(2)σ01+log(3),

where σ0=log(4)log(3)=1.26186 and 1-2log(3/2)σ0=0.3573.

As a consequence, we obtain the inequality subordination

φ(ζ)Φσ0(ζ)1+log(1+ζ1-ζ),|ζ|1/2.

Thus, inequality (Equation 2) is valid.

Case 2

Let k = 1. From Equation 1, we have:

1+σ1(ζφ(ζ)φ(ζ))1+ζ1-ζ,ζΩ.

Define a function Φσ1: Ω → ℂ as follows:

Φσ1(ζ)=(σ1-σ1ζ)-2σ1σ1-2σ1.

Obviously, Φσ1(ζ) is analytic in Ω with Φσ1(0) = 1. Moreover, it is indicated a solution of the differential equation

1+σ1(ζΦσ1(ζ)Φσ1(ζ))=1+ζ1-ζ,ζΩ.

Then Miller-Mocanu Lemma implies that the subordination

1+σ1(ζφ(ζ)φ(ζ))1+σ1(ζΦσ1(ζ)Φσ1(ζ))

gives

φ(ζ)Φσ1(ζ),ζΩ.

A computation yields

(23)2σ1=Φσ1(-12)Φσ1(12)=22σ1,σ1>0.

By using Equation 3, we obtain the inequality:

1-log(3)<(23)2σ1=Φσ1(-12)Φσ1(12)=22σ11+log(3),

where σ1=log(4)log(1+log(3))=1.8701.

As a consequence, we obtain the inequality subordination:

φ(ζ)Φσ1(ζ)1+log(1+ζ1-ζ),|ζ|1/2.

Thus, inequality (Equation 2) is valid.

Case 3

Let k = 2. From Equation 1, we have:

1+σ2(ζφ(ζ)φ2(ζ))1+ζ1-ζ,ζΩ.

Define a function Φσ2: Ω → ℂ as follows:

Φσ2(ζ)=1σ2σ22log(σ2σ2ζ))+σ2σ22log(σ2).

Obviously, Φσ2(ζ) is analytic in Ω with Φσ2(0) = 1. Moreover, it is indicated as a solution of the differential equation:

1+σ2(ζΦσ2(ζ)Φσ22(ζ))=1+ζ1-ζ,ζΩ.

Then Miller-Mocanu Lemma implies that the subordination

1+σ2(ζφ(ζ)φ2(ζ))1+σ2(ζΦσ2(ζ)Φσ22(ζ))

gives

φ(ζ)Φσ2(ζ),ζΩ.

A computation yields

Φσ2(-12)=σ2σ2-2log(σ2)+σ22log(3σ22)-σ2+1

and

Φσ2(12)=σ2σ2-2log(σ2)+σ22log(σ22)-σ2+1,

which means that

Φσ2(-12)Φσ2(12),σ2>0.

By using Equation 3, the inequality

1-log(3)<Φσ1(-12)Φσ1(12)1+log(3),

has a maximum solution when

σ2=5.35044041019216...

As a consequence, we obtain the inequality subordination:

φ(ζ)Φσ2(ζ)1+log(1+ζ1-ζ),|ζ|1/2.

Thus, inequality (Equation 2) is valid.

Example 3.2. One of the important applications in this direction is the modified Libera–Livingston–Bernardi integral operator over Ω, which has the following structure:

F(f(ζ))=c+1ζc0ζτc-1f(τ)dτ.

For ζ1-ζ=ζ+..., the integral satisfies

F(f(ζ))=(c+1)ζ-cBζ[c+1,0]               =ζ+((c+1)ζ2)(c+2)+((c+1)ζ3)(c+3)+((c+1)ζ4)(c+4)+               ((c+1)ζ5)(c+5)+O(ζ6)

where Bζ[, ] indicates the Beta function. Moreover, for ζ(1-ζ)2=ζ+..., the integral satisfies

F(f(ζ))=(c+1)ζ-c(-ζc+1ζ-1-cBζ[c+1,0])               =ζ+(2(c+1)ζ2)(c+2)+(3(c+1)ζ3)(c+3)+(4(c+1)ζ4)(c+4)+               (5(c+1)ζ5)(c+5)+O(ζ6).

Hence, the integral is preserved the normalization f(0) = f′(0)−1 = 0. Let

φ(ζ)=F(f(ζ))=1+...,F(f(ζ))=c+1ζc0ζτc-1f(τ)dτ,

with ℜ(φ(ζ)) > 0. Then, a computation yields

1+σkζφ(ζ)[φ(ζ)]k=1+σk(ζ[F(f(ζ))][F(f(ζ))]k).

We have the following result:

Proposition 3.3. Consider f(ζ) is a normalized analytic function in Ω such that f(0) = f′(0)−1 = 0 and for φ(ζ)=F(f(ζ)),F(f(ζ))=c+1ζc0ζτc-1f(τ)dτ, with ℜ(φ(ζ)) > 0. If

1+σk(ζ[F(f(ζ))][F(f(ζ))]k)1+ζ1-ζ,k=0,1,2

then

F(f(ζ))1+log(1+ζ1-ζ),ζΩ,

where

σ0=log(4)log(3)=1.26186,σ1=log(4)log(1+log(3))=1.8701,σ2=5.35044041019216.

Proposition 3.3 indicates that F(f(ζ)) is bounded turning function. A bounded turning function is a type of mathematical function made up of straight line segments connected linked at predetermined locations, each segment having a bounded slope (or derivative). It is sometimes referred to as a piecewise linear function or zigzag function. Numerous applications, including as robotics, computer graphics, and signal processing, frequently make advantage of these features. Moreover, bounded turning describes the restriction that the rate of change (slope or derivative) of the function is restricted within a given range. This indicates that the graph of the function shows moderate shifts in orientation within predetermined bounds rather than abrupt or unbounded alterations.

4 Conclusion and discussion

The above investigation concerned about a new definition of the Steiner symmetrization using a special function (1+log(1+ζ1-ζ)). The main result was about using the suggested definition to optimize a class of analytic functions. This optimization showed the geometric symmetrization of the class. In our research, we utilized the differential subordination based on Miller–Mocanu Lemma. The effort is satellited in the open unit disk, where the symmetrization can be recognized. Moreover, our result yielded the type of analytic functions that the set Ωφ* can be contained. This type was the Carathéodory function. Because it offers a quantitative assessment of how these functions behave closely to a certain point, the Carathèodory function is significant in the theory of univalent functions, like the function 1+ζ1-ζ,ζΩ. It is useful in gaining an understanding of conformal mappings and geometric function theory among other fields of complex analysis.

Moreover, among polygons, Steiner symmetrization is a potent approach for maximizing the Laplace operator's initial eigenvalue with Dirichlet boundary conditions. It can use the characteristics of symmetric domains to minimize the eigenvalue by reshaping the polygon into a more symmetrical form. Nevertheless, careful numerical implementation and consideration of the particular qualities of the initial polygonal domain are necessary for the actual application of the technique. Depending on the domain's geometry, such as its volume and eigenvalue index, Polya's theorem gives a lower bound on the Laplace operator's eigenvalues. This facilitates the comprehension of the relationship between the eigenvalues and the domain's size and form. According to Hirsch's theorem, a domain's initial eigenvalue does not rise when it is symmetric. This is helpful in optimization issues when the goal is to change the domain into a more symmetric shape in order to reduce the first eigenvalue.
