Abstract
Conditions are determined on the parameters a and c so that the confluent hypergeometric function Φ(a, c; z) = 1 F 1(a, c; z) is strongly convex of order 1/2 and the function zΦ(a, c; z) is strongly starlike of order 1/2 in D. Also sufficient conditions are obtained on a and c which ensure that the subordination (c/a)Φ′(a, c; z) ≺ ((1 + z)/(1 − z))1/2 holds. We also derive conditions on the parameters associated with the generalized and normalized Bessel function u p (z) of order p so that u p is strongly convex of order 1/2 and zu p is strongly starlike of order 1/2. As an application interesting examples are given including some mapping properties of Alexander and Libera operators.
