Abstract

:
In this study, we consider different types of convex-exponent products of elements of a certain class of log-harmonic mapping and then find sufficient conditions for them to be starlike log-harmonic functions. For instance, we show that, if f is a spirallike function, then choosing a suitable value of γ , the log-harmonic mapping F ( z ) = f ( z ) | f ( z ) | 2 γ is α - s p i r a l i k e of order ρ . Our results generalize earlier work in the literature.

1. Introduction

Let E be the open unit disk E = { z C : | z | < 1 } and H ( E ) denote the linear space of all analytic functions defined on E. Additionally, let A be a subclass consisting of f H ( E ) such that f ( 0 ) = f ( 0 ) 1 = 0 .
A C 2 -function defined in E is said to be harmonic if Δ f = 0 , and a log-harmonic function f is a solution of the nonlinear elliptic partial differential equation
f ¯ z ¯ f ¯ = a f z f ,
where the second dilation function a H ( E ) is such that | a ( z ) | < 1 for all z E . In the above formula, f ¯ z ¯ means ( f z ¯ ) ¯ . Observe that f is log-harmonic if log f is harmonic. The authors in [1] have proven that, if f is a non-constant log-harmonic mapping that vanishes only at z = 0 , then f should be in the form
f ( z ) = z m | z | 2 m β h ( z ) g ¯ ( z ) ,
where m is a nonnegative integer, Re β > 1 2 , while h and g are analytic functions in H ( E ) satisfying g ( 0 ) = 1 and h ( 0 ) 0 . The exponent β in (2) depends only on a ( 0 ) and is given by
β = a ¯ ( 0 ) 1 + a ( 0 ) 1 | a ( 0 ) | 2 .
We remark that f ( 0 ) 0 if and only if m = 0 and that a univalent log-harmonic mapping in E vanishes at the origin if and only if m = 1 , that is, f has the form
f ( z ) = z | z | 2 β h ( z ) g ¯ ( z ) ,
where Re β > 1 2 and 0 h g ( E ) .
Recently, the class of log-harmonic functions has been extensively studied by many authors; for instance, see [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10].
The Jacobian of log-harmonic function f is given by
J f ( z ) = | f z | 2 ( 1 | a ( z ) | 2 )
and is positive. Therefore, all non-constant log-harmonic mappings are sense-preserving in the unit disk E. Let B denote the class of functions a H ( E ) with | a ( z ) | < 1 and B 0 denote a B such that a ( 0 ) = 0 .
It is easy to see that, if f ( z ) = z h ( z ) g ( z ) ¯ , then the functions h and g, and the dilation a satisfy
z g ( z ) g ( z ) = a ( z ) 1 + z h ( z ) h ( z ) .
Definition 1.
(See [2].) Let f = z | z | 2 β h ( z ) g ( z ) ¯ be a univalent log-harmonic mapping. We say that f is a starlike log-harmonic mapping of order α if
arg f ( r e i θ ) θ = Re z f z z ¯ f z ¯ f > α , 0 α < 1
for all z E . Denote by S T L H ( α ) the class of all starlike log-harmonic mappings.
By taking β = 0 and g ( z ) = 1 in Definition 1, we obtain the class of starlike analytic functions in A , which we denote by S * ( α ) .
The following lemma shows the relationship of the classes S T L H ( α ) and S * ( α ) .
Lemma 1.
(See [2].) Let f ( z ) = z | z | 2 β h ( z ) g ( z ) ¯ be a log-harmonic mapping on E, 0 h g ( E ) . Then, f S T L H ( α ) if and only if φ ( z ) = z h ( z ) g ( z ) S * ( α ) .
In [2], the authors studied the class of α s p i r a l l i k e functions and proved that, if f ( z ) = z | z | 2 β h ( z ) g ( z ) ¯ is a log-harmonic mapping on E, 0 h g ( E ) , then f is α s p i r a l l i k e if
Re e i α z f z z ¯ f z ¯ f > 0 , 0 α < 1
for all z E . We remark that a simply connected domain Ω in C containing the origin is said to be α s p i r a l l i k e , π 2 < α < π 2 if w exp ( t e i α ) Ω for all t 0 whenever w Ω and that f is an α s p i r a l l i k e function, if f ( E ) is an α - s p i r a l i k e domain. Motivated by this, we define the class of α s p i r a l l i k e log-harmonic mappings of order ρ as follows:
Definition 2.
Let f ( z ) = z | z | 2 β h ( z ) g ( z ) ¯ be a univalent log-harmonic mapping on E, with 0 h g ( E ) . Then, we say that f is an α s p i r a l l i k e log-harmonic mapping of order ρ ( 0 ρ < 1 ) if
Re e i α z f z z ¯ f z ¯ f ( z ) > ρ cos α ( z E )
for some real α ( | α | < π 2 ) . The class of these functions is denoted by S L H α ( ρ ) . Furthermore, we define S L H α ( 1 ) = 0 ρ < 1 S L H α ( ρ ) .
Additionally, we denote by S α ( ρ ) the subclass of all f A such that f is α - s p i r a l i k e of order ρ and S α ( 1 ) = 0 ρ < 1 S α ( ρ ) .
Lemma 2.
([2]) If f ( z ) = z | z | 2 β h ( z ) g ( z ) ¯ is log-harmonic on E and 0 h g ( E ) , with Re β > 1 2 , then f S L H α ( ρ ) if and only if ψ ( z ) = z h ( z ) g ( z ) e 2 i α S α ( ρ ) .
In the celebrated paper [11], the authors introduce a new way of studying harmonic functions in Geometric Function Theory. Additionally, many authors investigated the linear combinations of harmonic functions in a plane; see, for example, [12,13,14]. In Section 2 of this paper, taking the convex-exponent product combination of two elements, a specified class of new log-harmonic functions is constructed. Indeed, we show that, if f ( z ) = z h ( z ) g ¯ ( z ) is spirallike log-harmonic of order ρ , then by choosing suitable parameters of α and γ , the function F ( z ) = f ( z ) | f ( z | 2 γ is log-harmonic spirallike of order α . Additionally, in Section 3, we provide some examples that are constructed from Section 2.

2. Main Results

Theorem 1.
Let f ( z ) = z h ( z ) g ( z ) ¯ S T L H ( ρ ) , ( 0 ρ < 1 ) with respect to a B 0 , ϕ S * ( γ ) , ( 0 γ < 1 ) and α , β be real numbers with α + β = 1 . Then, F ( z ) = f ( z ) α K ( z ) β is starlike log-harmonic mapping of order α ρ + β γ with respect to a, where
K ( z ) = ϕ ( z ) exp 2 Re 0 z a ( s ) 1 a ( s ) ϕ ( s ) ϕ ( s ) d s .
Proof. 
By definition of F, we have
F z F = α f z f + β K z K a n d F z ¯ F = α f z ¯ f + β K z ¯ K .
Additionally direct computations show that
K z K = 1 1 a ( z ) ϕ ( z ) ϕ ( z ) , a n d K z ¯ ¯ K ¯ = a ( z ) 1 a ( z ) ϕ ( z ) ϕ ( z ) .
Now, in view of Equations (6) and (7),
a ^ ( z ) = F z ¯ ¯ F ¯ F z F = α f z ¯ ¯ f ¯ + β K z ¯ K ¯ ¯ α f z f + β K z K = a ( z ) α f z f + β K z K α f z f + β K z K = a ( z ) .
On the other hand,
Re z F z z ¯ F z ¯ F = Re α z f z f + β z K z K Re α z f z ¯ ¯ f ¯ + β z K z ¯ ¯ K ¯ = α Re z f z f z f z ¯ ¯ f ¯ + β Re z K z K z K z ¯ ¯ K ¯ > α ρ + β γ .
The above relation shows that F is a log-harmonic starlike function of order α ρ + β γ , and the proof is complete. □
Theorem 2.
Let f ( z ) = z h ( z ) g ( z ) ¯ S L H β ( ρ ) with respect to a B 0 and γ be a constant with Re γ > 1 2 . Then, F ( z ) = f ( z ) | f ( z ) | 2 γ is an α s p i r a l l i k e log-harmonic mapping of order ρ with respect to
a ^ ( z ) = ( 1 + γ ¯ ) a ( z ) + γ ¯ 1 + γ + γ a ( z ) ,
where | β | < π 2 and α = tan 1 tan β + 2 Im γ 1 + 2 Re γ .
Proof. 
By definition of F, we have
F ( z ) = f ( z ) | f ( z ) | 2 γ = z 1 + γ z ¯ γ H ( z ) G ( z ) ¯ ,
where
H ( z ) = h 1 + γ ( z ) g γ ( z ) and G ( z ) = h γ ¯ ( z ) g 1 + γ ¯ ( z ) .
With a straightforward calculation and using Equation (5),
z F z F = ( 1 + γ ) 1 + z h ( z ) h ( z ) + γ z g ( z ) g ( z ) = 1 + z h ( z ) h ( z ) ( ( 1 + γ ) + γ a ( z ) ) ,
and
z ¯ F z ¯ F = γ 1 + z h ( z ) ¯ h ( z ) ¯ + ( 1 + γ ) z g ( z ) ¯ g ( z ) ¯ = 1 + z h ( z ) ¯ h ( z ) ¯ ( γ + ( 1 + γ ) a ( z ) ¯ ) .
If we consider
a ^ ( z ) = z ¯ F z ¯ ( z ) F ( z ) ¯ z F z ( z ) F ( z ) ,
then
a ^ ( z ) = γ ¯ + ( 1 + γ ¯ ) a ( z ) ( 1 + γ ) + γ a ( z ) .
Now, in view of | a ( z ) | < 1 , it easy to see that | a ^ ( z ) | < 1 provided that γ ¯ 1 + γ ¯ < 1 , which evidently holds | γ | 2 < | 1 + γ ¯ | 2 since Re γ > 1 2 , and this means that F is a log-harmonic function.
Additionally, by putting
ψ ( z ) = z H ( z ) G ( z ) e 2 i α ,
we have
ψ ( z ) = z H ( z ) G ( z ) e 2 i α = z h ( z ) 1 + γ g ( z ) γ ( h γ ¯ ( z ) g 1 + γ ¯ ( z ) ) e 2 i α .
Then, we obtain
e i α z ψ ( z ) ψ ( z ) = e i α + [ ( 1 + γ ) e i α γ ¯ e i α ] z h ( z ) h ( z ) [ ( 1 + γ ¯ ) e i α γ e i α ] z g ( z ) g ( z ) = ( γ e i α + γ ¯ e i α ) + [ ( 1 + γ ) e i α γ ¯ e i α ] 1 + z h ( z ) h ( z ) [ ( 1 + γ ¯ ) e i α γ e i α ] z g ( z ) g ( z ) .
The condition on α ensures that
( 1 + γ ) e i α γ ¯ e i α = cos α cos β e i β and ( 1 + γ ¯ ) e i α γ e i α = cos α cos β e i β ,
because by letting γ = γ 1 + i γ 2 , the first equality holds true if and only if
cos β cos α i ( 1 + 2 γ 1 ) sin α cos β + i 2 γ 2 cos β cos α = cos α cos β i cos α sin β
or, equivalently, after simplification
2 γ 2 cot β ( 1 + 2 γ 1 ) tan α cot β = 1
or
α = tan 1 tan β + 2 Im γ 1 + 2 Re γ .
Thus, by hypothesis,
Re { e i α z ψ ( z ) ψ ( z ) } = cos α cos β Re e i β ( 1 + z h ( z ) h ( z ) ) e i β z g ( z ) g ( z ) > ρ cos α
and it follows that F is an α -spirallike log-harmonic mapping of order ρ in which the dilation is a ^ ( z ) . □
Theorem 3.
Let f k ( z ) = z h k ( z ) g k ¯ ( z ) S L H β ( ρ ) with k = 1 , 2 and with respect to the same a B 0 and γ be a constant with Re γ > 1 2 . Moreover, let
F 1 ( z ) = f 1 ( z ) | f 1 ( z ) | 2 γ a n d F 2 ( z ) = f 2 ( z ) | f 2 ( z ) | 2 γ .
Then, F ( z ) = F 1 λ ( z ) F 2 1 λ ( z ) is an α-spirallike log-harmonic mapping of order ρ with respect to
a ^ ( z ) = ( 1 + γ ¯ ) a ( z ) + γ ¯ 1 + γ + γ a ( z ) ,
where | β | < π 2 and α = tan 1 tan β + 2 Im γ 1 + 2 Re γ .
Proof. 
According to the definitions of F 1 and F 2 , we have
F 1 λ ( z ) = ( f 1 ( z ) | f 1 ( z ) | 2 γ ) λ = ( z | z | 2 γ h 1 1 + γ ( z ) g 1 γ ( z ) h 1 γ ¯ ( z ) g 1 1 + γ ¯ ( z ) ¯ ) λ
and
F 2 1 λ ( z ) = ( f 2 ( z ) | f 2 ( z ) | 2 γ ) 1 λ = ( z | z | 2 γ h 2 1 + γ ( z ) g 2 γ ( z ) h 2 γ ¯ ( z ) g 2 1 + γ ¯ ( z ) ¯ ) 1 λ .
Putting the values of F 1 λ and F 2 1 λ on F, we obtain
F ( z ) = ( z | z | 2 γ h 1 1 + γ ( z ) g 1 γ ( z ) h 1 γ ¯ ( z ) g 1 1 + γ ¯ ( z ) ¯ ) λ ( z | z | 2 γ h 2 1 + γ ( z ) g 2 γ ( z ) h 2 γ ¯ ( z ) g 2 1 + γ ¯ ( z ) ¯ ) 1 λ = z | z | 2 γ H ( z ) G ( z ) ¯ ,
where
H ( z ) = h 1 ( z ) λ ( 1 + γ ) g 1 ( z ) λ γ h 2 ( z ) ( 1 λ ) ( 1 + γ ) g 2 ( z ) ( 1 λ ) γ
and
G ( z ) = h 1 ( z ) λ γ ¯ g 1 ( z ) λ ( 1 + γ ¯ ) h 2 ( z ) ( 1 λ ) γ ¯ g 2 ( z ) ( 1 λ ) ( 1 + γ ¯ ) .
Now, we show that the second dilation of F i.e., μ ( z ) satisfies the condition | μ ( z ) | < 1 . For this, since
μ ( z ) = F ¯ z ¯ ( z ) F ¯ ( z ) F z ( z ) F ( z ) ,
we have
μ ( z ) = λ F 1 z ¯ ( z ) ¯ F ¯ 1 ( z ) + ( 1 λ ) F 2 z ¯ ( z ) ¯ F ¯ 2 ( z ) λ F 1 z ( z ) F 1 ( z ) + ( 1 λ ) F 2 z ( z ) F 2 ( z ) = λ [ γ ¯ ( 1 + z h 1 h 1 ) + ( 1 + γ ¯ ) z g 1 g 1 ] + ( 1 λ ) [ γ ¯ ( 1 + z h 2 h 2 ) + ( 1 + γ ¯ ) z g 2 g 2 ] λ [ ( 1 + γ ) ( 1 + z h 1 h 1 ) + γ z g 1 g 1 ] + ( 1 λ ) [ ( 1 + γ ) ( 1 + z h 2 h 2 ) + γ z g 2 g 2 ] = λ ( 1 + z h 1 h 1 ) [ γ ¯ + ( 1 + γ ¯ ) a ( z ) ] + ( 1 λ ) ( 1 + z h 2 h 2 ) [ γ ¯ + ( 1 + γ ¯ ) a ( z ) ] λ ( 1 + z h 1 h 1 ) [ ( 1 + γ ) + γ a ( z ) ] + ( 1 λ ) ( 1 + z h 2 h 2 ) [ ( 1 + γ ) + γ a ( z ) ] = [ λ ( 1 + z h 1 h 1 ) + ( 1 λ ) ( 1 + z h 2 h 2 ) ] [ γ ¯ + ( 1 + γ ¯ ) a ( z ) ] [ λ ( 1 + z h 1 h 1 ) + ( 1 λ ) ( 1 + z h 2 h 2 ) ] [ ( 1 + γ ) + γ a ( z ) ] = [ γ ¯ + ( 1 + γ ¯ ) a ( z ) ] [ ( 1 + γ ) + γ a ( z ) ] = ( 1 + γ ¯ ) ( 1 + γ ) a ( z ) + γ ¯ 1 + γ ¯ 1 + a ( z ) γ 1 + γ ,
and the condition Re γ > 1 2 ensures that | μ ( z ) | < 1 in E, which implies that F is a locally univalent log-harmonic mapping. Now, to prove
F ( z ) = F 1 λ ( z ) F 2 1 λ ( z ) S L H α ( ρ ) ,
we have to show that ψ ( z ) = z H ( z ) G ( z ) e 2 i α S α ( ρ ) . However, a direct calculation shows that
ψ ( z ) = z H ( z ) G ( z ) e 2 i α = [ z h 1 λ ( 1 + γ ) ( z ) g 1 λ γ ( z ) h 2 ( 1 λ ) ( 1 + γ ) ( z ) g 2 ( 1 λ ) γ ( z ) ] [ h 1 λ γ ¯ ( z ) g 1 λ ( 1 + γ ¯ ) ( z ) h 2 ( 1 λ ) γ ¯ ( z ) g 2 ( 1 λ ) ( 1 + γ ¯ ) ( z ) ] e 2 i α .
Now,
e i α z ψ ( z ) ψ ( z ) = e i α 1 + λ ( ( ( 1 + γ ) e 2 i α γ ¯ ) z h 1 ( z ) h 1 ( z ) ( ( 1 + γ ¯ ) e 2 i α γ ) z g 1 ( z ) g 1 ( z ) ) + e i α ( 1 λ ) ( ( ( 1 + γ ) e 2 i α γ ¯ ) z h 2 ( z ) h 2 ( z ) ( ( 1 + γ ¯ ) e 2 i α γ ) z g 2 ( z ) g 2 ( z ) ) = γ e i α + e i α γ ¯ + λ ( ( 1 + γ ) e i α e i α γ ¯ ) ( 1 + z h 1 ( z ) h 1 ( z ) ) ( ( 1 + γ ¯ ) e i α γ e i α ) z g 1 ( z ) g 1 ( z ) + ( 1 λ ) ( ( 1 + γ ) e i α e i α γ ¯ ) ( 1 + z h 2 ( z ) h 2 ( z ) ) ( ( 1 + γ ¯ ) e i α γ e i α ) z g 2 ( z ) g 2 ( z ) .
By hypothesis, we know that
( 1 + γ ) e i α γ ¯ e i α = cos α cos β e i β and ( 1 + γ ¯ ) e i α γ e i α = cos α cos β e i β ,
so
Re { e i α z ψ ( z ) ψ ( z ) } = λ cos α cos β Re e i β ( 1 + z h 1 ( z ) h 1 ( z ) ) e i β z g 1 ( z ) g 1 ( z ) + ( 1 λ ) cos α cos β Re e i β ( 1 + z h 2 ( z ) h 2 ( z ) ) e i β z g 1 ( z ) g 1 ( z ) > ρ cos α
and the proof is completed. □
Theorem 4.
Let f k ( z ) = z h k ( z ) g ¯ k ( z ) S L H β ( ρ ) with respect to a k B 0 ( k = 1 , 2 ) . Moreover, suppose that Re γ > 1 2 ,
F 1 ( z ) = f 1 ( z ) | f 1 ( z ) | 2 γ a n d F 2 ( z ) = f 2 ( z ) | f 2 ( z ) | 2 γ .
If
Re ( 1 a 1 ( z ) a ¯ 2 ( z ) ) 1 + z h 1 ( z ) h 1 ( z ) 1 + z h 2 ( z ) h 2 ( z ) ¯ 0 ( f o r a n y z E ) ,
then
F ( z ) = F 1 λ ( z ) F 2 1 λ ( z ) S L H α ( ρ ) ,
where | β | < π 2 , 0 λ 1 and α = tan 1 tan β + 2 I m γ 1 + 2 R e γ .
Proof. 
Using the same argument as in Theorem 3, we have
F ( z ) = z | z | 2 γ H ( z ) G ( z ) ¯ ,
where H ( z ) and G ( z ) are defined by Equations (8) and (9). Now, we show that the second dilation of F, i.e., μ ( z ) , satisfies the condition | μ ( z ) | < 1 . For this, since
μ ( z ) = F ¯ z ¯ ( z ) F ¯ ( z ) F z ( z ) F ( z ) ,
using a similar argument to the relation Equation (10) of Theorem 3, we have
| μ ( z ) | = λ ( 1 + z h 1 h 1 ) [ γ ¯ + ( 1 + γ ¯ ) a 1 ( z ) ] + ( 1 λ ) ( 1 + z h 2 h 2 ) [ γ ¯ + ( 1 + γ ¯ ) a 2 ( z ) ] λ ( 1 + z h 1 h 1 ) [ ( 1 + γ ) + γ a 1 ( z ) ] + ( 1 λ ) ( 1 + z h 2 h 2 ) [ ( 1 + γ ) + γ a 2 ( z ) ] .
However, by hypothesis, we obtain
λ ( 1 + z h 1 h 1 ) [ ( 1 + γ ) + γ a 1 ( z ) ] + ( 1 λ ) ( 1 + z h 2 h 2 ) [ ( 1 + γ ) + γ a 2 ( z ) ] 2 λ ( 1 + z h 1 h 1 ) [ γ ¯ + ( 1 + γ ¯ ) a 1 ( z ) ] + ( 1 λ ) ( 1 + z h 2 h 2 ) [ γ ¯ + ( 1 + γ ¯ ) a 2 ( z ) ] 2 = ( 2 Re γ + 1 ) λ 2 1 + z h 1 h 1 2 ( 1 | a 1 | 2 ) + ( 1 λ ) 2 1 + z h 2 h 2 2 ( 1 | a 2 | 2 ) + ( 2 Re γ + 1 ) 2 λ ( 1 λ ) Re [ ( 1 a 1 a ¯ 2 ) ( 1 + z h 1 h 1 ) ( 1 + z h 2 h 2 ) ¯ ] > 0 .
Therefore, | μ ( z ) | < 1 in E, which implies that F is a locally univalent mapping. Moreover, by following a similar proof to that in Theorem 3, we observe that
F ( z ) = F 1 λ ( z ) F 2 1 λ ( z ) S L H α ( ρ ) ,
and the proof is completed. □
Theorem 5.
Let f k ( z ) = z h k ( z ) g ¯ k ( z ) be univalent log-harmonic functions with respect to a k B 0 ( k = 1 , 2 ) and Re γ > 1 2 . Moreover, suppose that z h k g k = ϕ k ( z ) , where
ϕ k ( z ) = z e x p 2 0 z a k ( t ) t ( 1 a k ( t ) ) d t
and
F 1 ( z ) = f 1 ( z ) | f 1 ( z ) | 2 γ a n d F 2 ( z ) = f 2 ( z ) | f 2 ( z ) | 2 γ .
Then,
F ( z ) = F 1 λ ( z ) F 2 1 λ ( z ) S L H α ( 1 )
where 0 λ 1 and α = tan 1 2 Im γ 1 + 2 Re γ .
Proof. 
Since z h k g k = ϕ k ( z ) , by definition of a k ( z ) and ϕ k ( z ) , we obtain
1 + z h k ( z ) h k ( z ) = 1 1 a k ( z ) ( k = 1 , 2 ) .
Let
μ ( z ) = F ¯ z ¯ ( z ) F ¯ ( z ) F z ( z ) F ( z ) .
Using a similar argument to the relation in Equation (10) of Theorem 3, we obtain
| μ ( z ) | = λ ( 1 a 2 ( z ) ) [ γ ¯ + ( 1 + γ ¯ ) a 1 ( z ) ] + ( 1 λ ) ( ( 1 a 1 ( z ) ) [ γ ¯ + ( 1 + γ ¯ ) a 2 ( z ) ] λ ( 1 a 2 ( z ) ) [ ( 1 + γ ) + γ a 1 ( z ) ] + ( 1 λ ) ( 1 a 1 ( z ) ) [ ( 1 + γ ) + γ a 2 ( z ) ] .
Now, | μ ( z ) | < 1 is equivalent to
ψ ( λ ) : = λ ( 1 a 2 ( z ) ) [ ( 1 + γ ) + γ a 1 ( z ) ] + ( 1 λ ) ( 1 a 1 ( z ) ) [ ( 1 + γ ) + γ a 2 ( z ) ] 2 λ ( 1 a 2 ( z ) ) [ γ ¯ + ( 1 + γ ¯ ) a 1 ( z ) ] + ( 1 λ ) ( ( 1 a 1 ( z ) ) [ γ ¯ + ( 1 + γ ¯ ) a 2 ( z ) ] 2 = ( 2 Re γ + 1 ) [ λ 2 | 1 a 2 ( z ) | 2 ( 1 | a 1 ( z ) | 2 ) + 2 λ ( 1 λ ) Re [ ( 1 a 2 ( z ) ) ( 1 a 1 ( z ) ¯ ) ( 1 a 1 ( z ) a 2 ( z ) ¯ ) ] + ( 1 λ ) 2 | 1 a 1 ( z ) | 2 ( 1 | a 2 ( z ) | 2 ) ] > 0 .
However, by taking the derivative of ψ ( λ ) , we have
ψ ( λ ) = 2 ( 2 Re γ + 1 ) Re [ ( 1 a 2 ( z ) ) ( 1 a 1 ( z ) ¯ ) ( 1 a 1 ( z ) a 2 ( z ) ¯ ) ] | 1 a 1 ( z ) | 2 ( 1 | a 2 ( z ) | 2 ) ,
which shows that ψ is a continuous monotonic function of λ in the interval [ 0 , 1 ] . Since
ψ ( 0 ) = ( 2 Re γ + 1 ) 1 a 2 ( z ) 2 ( 1 | a 1 ( z ) | 2 ) > 0
and
ψ ( 1 ) = ( 2 Re γ + 1 ) 1 a 1 ( z ) 2 ( 1 | a 2 ( z ) | 2 ) > 0 ,
we deduce that ψ ( λ ) > 0 for all λ [ 0 , 1 ] , which implies that F is a locally univalent mapping. Now, to prove
F = F 1 λ F 2 1 λ S L H α
we have to show that ψ ( z ) = z H ( z ) G ( z ) e 2 i α S α ( 1 ) , where H ( z ) and G ( z ) are defined by Equations (8) and (9). A direct computation such as that in Theorem 3 shows that
( 1 + γ ) e i α γ ¯ e i α cos α = ( 1 + γ ¯ ) e i α γ e i α cos α = 1 .
Additionally, we note that
1 + z h 1 h 1 z g 1 g 1 = 1 + z h 2 h 2 z g 2 g 2 = 1 .
Using these relation and the same argument as that made in Theorem 3, we obtain ψ ( z ) = z H ( z ) G ( z ) e 2 i α S α ( 1 ) , and the proof is complete. □
Theorem 6.
Let f k ( z ) = z h k ( z ) g ¯ k ( z ) ( k = 1 , 2 ) be log-harmonic functions with respect to a k B 0 . Moreover, suppose that z h k g k = z and
F 1 ( z ) = f 1 ( z ) | f 1 ( z ) | 2 γ a n d F 2 ( z ) = f 2 ( z ) | f 2 ( z ) | 2 γ .
Then,
F ( z ) = F 1 λ ( z ) F 2 1 λ ( z ) S L H α ( 1 ) ,
where 0 λ 1 and α = tan 1 2 Im γ ( 1 + 2 Re γ ) .
Proof. 
Since z h k g k = z , by definition of a k ( z ) , we obtain
1 + z h k ( z ) h k ( z ) = 1 1 + a k ( z ) ( k = 1 , 2 ) .
Using the same argument as that in Theorem 5, we obtain our result, but we omit the details. □

Let Re γ > 1 2 and
f ( z ) = z ( 1 + z ) [ cos β ( 1 ρ ) e i β 1 ] ( 1 z ) ( 1 ρ ) cos β e i β ( 1 + z ¯ ) [ ( 1 ρ ) cos β e i β e 2 i β ] ( 1 z ¯ ) ( 1 ρ ) cos β e i β .
Then, it is easy to see that f is a β-spirallike log-harmonic mapping of order ρ with respect to a ( z ) = z e 2 i β . Now, Theorem 2 implies that the function F ( z ) = f ( z ) | f ( z ) | 2 γ is a α-spirallike log-harmonic mapping of order ρ with respect to
a ^ ( z ) = ( 1 + γ ¯ ) z e 2 i β + γ ¯ ( 1 + γ ) γ e 2 i β z ,
where
α = tan 1 tan β + 2 Im γ 1 + 2 Re γ .
The image in Example 1 is shown in Figure 1.
Example 2.
Let Re γ > 1 2 , 0 < a < 1 , f 1 be the function defined in Example 1 and
f 2 ( z ) = z ( 1 + z ) [ cos β ( 1 + a 2 ρ ) 1 + a e i β 1 ] ( 1 a z ) ( 1 + a 2 ρ ) 1 + a cos β e i β ( 1 + z ¯ ) [ ( 1 + a 2 ρ ) 1 + a cos β e i β e 2 i β ] ( 1 a z ¯ ) ( 1 + a 2 ρ ) a ( 1 + a ) cos β e i β .
Then, it is easy to see that f 1 and f 2 are β-spirallike log-harmonic mappings of order ρ with respect to a 2 ( z ) = a 1 ( z ) = z e 2 i β . Additionally, suppose that
F 1 ( z ) = f 1 ( z ) | f 1 ( z ) | 2 γ a n d F 2 ( z ) = f 2 ( z ) | f 2 ( z ) | 2 γ .
Then, Theorem 3 shows that
F ( z ) = F 1 λ ( z ) F 2 1 λ ( z ) S L H α ( ρ ) ,
where 0 λ 1 and α = tan 1 tan β + 2 Im γ ( 1 + 2 Re γ ) .
Example 3.
Let Re γ > 1 2 ,
f 1 ( z ) = z | 1 + z | 1 z ¯ 1 z
and
f 2 ( z ) = z 1 z e Re 1 1 z .
Firstly, we show that f 1 and f 2 are log-harmonic starlike functions of order 1 / 2 with respect to a 1 ( z ) = z and a 2 ( z ) = z 2 z , respectively. A direct computation shows that
z ( f 1 ) z f 1 = 1 1 z 2 , z ¯ ( f 1 ) z ¯ f 1 ¯ = z 1 z 2
z ( f 2 ) z f 2 = 2 z 2 ( 1 z 2 ) , z ¯ ( f 2 ) z ¯ f 2 ¯ = z 2 ( 1 z 2 ) .
Therefore, we obtain
z ¯ ( f 1 ) z ¯ f 1 ¯ = a 1 ( z ) z ( f 1 ) z f 1 a n d z ¯ ( f 2 ) z ¯ f 2 ¯ = a 2 ( z ) z ( f 2 ) z f 2 ,
and this means that f 1 and f 2 are locally univalent log-harmonic functions. Additionally,
R e z ( f 1 ) z z ¯ ( f 1 ) z ¯ f 1 = R e 1 1 z 2 + z 1 z 2 = R e 1 1 z > 1 2 ,
and
R e z ( f 2 ) z z ¯ ( f 2 ) z ¯ f 2 = R e 2 z 2 ( 1 z 2 ) z 2 ( 1 z 2 ) = R e 1 1 + z > 1 2 .
Hence, f 1 and f 2 are starlike log-harmonic functions of order 1 / 2 . Additionally, let
F 1 ( z ) = f 1 ( z ) | f 1 ( z ) | 2 γ a n d F 2 ( z ) = f 2 ( z ) | f 2 ( z ) | 2 γ .
Since for z = r e i θ ,
Re ( 1 a 1 a ¯ 2 ) ( 1 + z h 1 h 1 ) ( 1 + z h 2 h 2 ) ¯ = ( 1 | z | 2 ) Re 1 ( 1 z ¯ ) 2 1 1 z 2 = 1 | z | 2 | 1 z | 2 Re 1 ( 1 z ¯ ) ( 1 + z ) = 1 r 2 | 1 r e i θ | 2 ( 1 r 2 ) > 0 .
Theorem 4 implies that
F ( z ) = F 1 λ ( z ) F 2 1 λ ( z ) S L H α ( 1 2 ) ,
where 0 λ 1 and α = tan 1 2 Im γ 1 + 2 Re γ .
The images in Examples 2–4 are shown in Figure 2, Figure 3 and Figure 4.
Example 4.
Let Re γ > 1 2 , a 1 ( z ) = z , and h 1 ( z ) = g 1 ( z ) = 1 1 z . Moreover, let a 2 ( z ) = z and h 2 ( z ) = g 2 ( z ) = 1 1 + z . Then, it is easy to verify that all conditions of Theorem 5 are satisfied. Hence, according to Theorem 5, by taking
F 1 ( z ) = z | z | 2 γ ( 1 z ) 1 + 2 γ ( 1 z ¯ ) 1 + 2 γ
and
F 2 ( z ) = z | z | 2 γ ( 1 + z ) 1 + 2 γ ( 1 + z ¯ ) 1 + 2 γ ,
we have
F ( z ) = F 1 λ ( z ) F 2 1 λ ( z ) S L H α ( 1 ) ,
where 0 λ 1 and α = tan 1 2 Im γ 1 ρ + 2 Re γ .
Example 5.
Let Re γ > 1 2 , a 1 ( z ) = z and h 1 ( z ) = 1 1 z , g ( z ) = 1 z . Moreover, let a 2 ( z ) = z and h 2 ( z ) = 1 1 + z , g 2 ( z ) = 1 + z . Then, it is easy to verify that all conditions of Theorem 6 are satisfied. Hence, according to Theorem 6, by taking
F 1 ( z ) = z | z | 2 γ ( 1 z ¯ ) ( 1 z ) a n d F 2 ( z ) = z | z | 2 γ ( 1 + z ¯ ) ( 1 + z ) ,
we have
F ( z ) = F 1 λ ( z ) F 2 1 λ ( z ) S L H α ( 1 ) ,
where 0 λ 1 and α = tan 1 2 Im γ 1 ρ + 2 Re γ .

4. Conclusions

In this paper, we have shown that, if f ( z ) = z h ( z ) g ¯ ( z ) is spirallike log-harmonic of order ρ , then by choosing suitable parameters of α and γ , the function F ( z ) = f ( z ) | f ( z | 2 γ is log-harmonic spirallike of order α . Moreover, we provide some examples for the obtained results.
