Abstract:
The objective of this paper is to obtain an upper bound (not sharp)
to the third order Hankel determinant for certain subclass of multivalent
($p$-valent) analytic functions, defined in the open unit disc $E$. Using
the Toeplitz determinants, we may estimate the Hankel determinant of third
kind for the normalized multivalent analytic functions belongng to this
subclass. But, using the technique adopted by Zaprawa [1], i. e.,
grouping the suitable terms in order to apply Lemmas due to Hayami [2],
Livingston [3] and Pommerenke [4], we observe that, the bound
estimated by the method adopted by Zaprawa is more refined than using upon
applying the Toeplitz determinants.
Key words:$p$-valent analytic function, upper bound, third Hankel determinant, positive real function.
