Abstract
Let \(f(z)=h(z)+\overline{g(z)}\) be a harmonic v-Bloch mapping defined in the unit disk \({\mathbb {D}}\) with \(\Vert f\Vert _{B_v}\le M\), where \(h(z)=\sum \limits _{n=1}^{\infty }a_nz^n\) and \(g(z)=\sum \limits _{n=1}^{\infty }b_nz^n\) are analytic in \({\mathbb {D}}\). In this paper, we obtain the coefficient estimates for f as follows: \(|a_n|^2+|b_n|^2\le A_n(v,M)\), where \(A_n(v,M)\) is given in Theorem 1. Furthermore, we prove that for \(v<1\), \(\lim \limits _{n\rightarrow \infty }A_n(v,M)=0\) and for \(v\ge 1\), \(A_n(v,M)\le O(n^{2v-2})\). Moreover, if f is a harmonic K-quasiconformal self-mapping of \({\mathbb {D}}\), then \(|a_n|+|b_n|\le B_n(K)\), where \(B_n(K)\) is given in Theorem 3 such that \(\lim \limits _{n\rightarrow \infty }B_n(K)=0\) and \(B_n(1)=\frac{4}{n\pi }\).

1 Introduction
A complex-valued function f(z) of class \(C^2\) is said to be a harmonic mapping, if it satisfies \(f_{z\bar{z}}=0\). Assume that f(z) is a harmonic mapping defined in a simply connected domain \(\Omega \subseteq {\mathbb {C}}\). Then f(z) has the canonical decomposition \(f(z)=h(z)+\overline{g(z)}\), where h(z) and g(z) are analytic in \(\Omega \). Let \({\mathbb {D}}=\{z: |z|<1\}\) be the unit disk; throughout this paper, we consider harmonic mappings f(z) in \({\mathbb {D}}\).
For \(z\in {\mathbb {D}}\), let
and
It is well known that f is locally univalent and sense-preserving in \({\mathbb {D}}\) if and only if its Jacobian satisfies
Let
be the Bloch constant of f, where \(\rho \) denotes the hyperbolic distance in \({\mathbb {D}}\), and \(\rho (z,w)=\frac{1}{2}\ln \left( \frac{1+r}{1-r}\right) \) where r is the modulus of \(\frac{z-w}{1-\bar{z}w}.\) In [6], we see that the Bloch constant of \(f=h+\bar{g}\) can be expressed in terms of the modulus of the derivatives of h and g as follows:
For the extensive discussions on harmonic Bloch mappings, see [1–5, 10].
For \(v\in (0,\infty )\), a harmonic mapping f is called a harmonic v-Bloch mapping if and only if
Harmonic mappings are nature generalizations of analytic functions. Many classical results of analytic functions under some suitable restrictions can be extended to harmonic mappings. One of the well-known results is the Landau-type theorems for harmonic mappings. Many authors have considered such an active topic.
In [11], Liu proved the following theorems.
Theorem A
Suppose that f is a harmonic mapping of \({\mathbb {D}}\) with \(f(0)=\lambda _f(0)-1=0\). If \(\Lambda _f(z)\le \Lambda \) for all \(z\in {\mathbb {D}}\), then
The above estimates are sharp for all \(n\ge 2\) with extremal functions \(f_n(z)=\Lambda ^2z-\int \limits _0^z\frac{(\Lambda ^3-\Lambda )dz}{\Lambda +z^{n-1}}\).
Theorem B
Let f be a harmonic mapping of \({\mathbb {D}}\) with \(f(0)=\lambda _f(0)-1=0\), and \(\Lambda _f(z)\le \Lambda \) for all \(z\in {\mathbb {D}}\). Then f is univalent in the disk \(D_{r_1}\) with \(r_1=\frac{1}{1+\Lambda -\frac{1}{\Lambda }}\) and \(f(D_{r_1})\) contains a schlicht disk \(D_{\sigma _1}\) with
The result is sharp when \(\Lambda =1\).
Subsequently, in 2011, Chen et al. [4] proved the following theorems.
Theorem C
Let \(f=h+\bar{g}\) be a harmonic v-Bloch mapping, where h and g are analytic in \({\mathbb {D}}\) with the expansions
If \(\lambda _f(0)=\alpha \) for some \(\alpha \in (0,1)\) and \(\Vert f\Vert _{B_v}\le M\) for \(M>0.\) Then for \(n\ge 2\),
where
Particularly, if \(v=M=\alpha =1\), then \(A_2(1,1,1)=0\), \(A_3(1,1,1)=\frac{1}{3}\) and for \(n\ge 4\), \(A_n(1,1,1)<\frac{(n+1)eM}{2n}.\) The above results are sharp for \(n=2\) and \(n=3\).
Theorem D
Let f be a harmonic mapping with \(f(0)=\lambda _{f}(0)-\alpha =0\) and \(\Vert f\Vert _{B_v}\le M\), where M and \(\alpha \in (0,1]\) are constants. Then f is univalent in \({\mathbb {D}}_{\rho _0}\), where
Moreover, \(f({\mathbb {D}}_{\rho _0})\) contains a univalent disk \({\mathbb {D}}_{R_0}\) with
The coefficient estimates are crucial in obtaining Landau-type theorems. In the second part of this paper, by using Parseval equation, we first obtain the coefficient estimates for harmonic v-Bloch mappings, and then for \(0<v<\frac{1}{2}\), we obtain its Landau-type theorems.
Assume that
is a sense-preserving univalent harmonic mapping of \({\mathbb {D}}\) with the boundary function \(F(x)=e^{i\gamma (x)}\) where
is the Poisson kernel and \(z=re^{i\varphi }\in {\mathbb {D}}\). Then f(z) is called a harmonic K-quasiconformal mapping if there exists a constant k such that
For harmonic K-quasiconformal mappings defined in \({\mathbb {D}}\), there are many interesting results (See [7, 9, 14] and [16–19]). In [13], Partyka and Sakan proved the following theorem:
Theorem E
Given \(K\ge 1\) and let \(f(z)=P[F](z)\) be a harmonic K-quasiconformal mapping of \({\mathbb {D}}\) onto itself, with the boundary function F(t). If \(f(0)=0\), then for a.e. \(z=e^{it}\in \partial {\mathbb {D}}\)
Using this theorem, we obtain the coefficient estimates for \(f=P[F]\) as follows:
2 Coefficient Estimates for Harmonic v-Bloch Mappings
Theorem 2
Assume that \(f(z)=h(z)+\overline{g(z)}\) is a harmonic v-Bloch mapping such that \(f(0)=0\) and \(\Vert f\Vert _{B_v}\le M\) for some constants \(M>0\), where h(z) and g(z) are given by (3). Then the following inequality
holds for all \(n=1, 2, 3,\ldots \), where
Furthermore, if \(0<v<1\), then \(\lim \limits _{n\rightarrow \infty }A_n(v,M)=0\). If \(v\ge 1\), then \(A_n(v,M)\le \frac{M^2}{2v-1}\frac{(n+1)^{2v-1}-1}{n}(1+\frac{1}{n})^n\).
Proof
Using the assumption that \(f(0)=0\) and \(\Vert f\Vert _{B_v}\le M\), according to (1), we have
holds for any \(z=re^{i\theta }\in {\mathbb {D}}\). Using \(f_{\theta }(z)=i\left[ zh{^\prime }(z)-\overline{zg{^\prime }(z)}\right] \) and applying Parseval equation, then
Applying \(|f_{\theta }(z)|\le |z|\Lambda _f(z)\le r\Lambda _r\), we have
This implies that
For any \(0<t<1\), integrals from both sides give
-
(i)
For \(v=\frac{1}{2}\). In this case, \(\varphi (t)=\frac{-\ln (1-t^2)}{2}\). It follows from (6) that
$$\begin{aligned} |a_n|^2+|b_n|^2\le \frac{M^2}{n}\frac{-\ln \left( 1-t^2\right) }{t^{2n}}. \end{aligned}$$
If \(n=1\), then \(\min \limits _{0<t<1}\frac{M^2}{n}\frac{-\ln (1-t^2)}{t^{2}}=M^2\). For \(n>1\), since \(\lim \limits _{t\rightarrow 0}\frac{-\ln (1-t^2)}{t^{2n}}=\infty =\lim \limits _{t\rightarrow 1}\frac{-\ln (1-t^2)}{t^{2n}}\), we see that \(\inf \limits _{0<t<1}\frac{-\ln (1-t^2)}{t^{2n}}\) exists. Hence,
Let \(t_0=\sqrt{\frac{n}{n+1}}\). Then
This implies that \(\lim \limits _{n\rightarrow \infty }A_n(\frac{1}{2}, M)=0\).
-
(ii)
For \(v\ne \frac{1}{2}\). In this case, \(\varphi (t)=\frac{1-(1-t^2)^{1-2v}}{2(1-2v)}\). It follows from (6) that
$$\begin{aligned} |a_n|^2+|b_n|^2\le \frac{M^2}{n}\frac{1-(1-t^2)^{1-2v}}{(1-2v)t^{2n}}:=\frac{M^2}{n}m(t). \end{aligned}$$
If \(v<\frac{1}{2}\), then \(\inf \limits _{0<t<1} m(t)=\frac{1}{1-2v}\). Hence,
For \(v>\frac{1}{2}\), \(m(t)=\frac{1-(1-t^2)^{2v-1}}{(1-t^2)^{2v-1}(2v-1)t^{2n}}>0\). If \(n=1\), then \(\inf \limits _{0<t<1}m(t)=2v-1\). Else if \(n>1\), then since \(\lim \limits _{t\rightarrow 0}m(t)=\infty =\lim \limits _{t\rightarrow 1}m(t)\) we see that \(\inf \limits _{0<t<1}m(t)\) exists. Therefore \(A_n(v,M)=\frac{M^2}{n}\inf \limits _{0<t<1}m(t)\) and
It follows from (7), (8) and (9) that if \(v<1\), then \(\lim \limits _{n\rightarrow \infty }A_n(v,M)=0\). If \(v=1\), then \(A_n(1,M)\le M^2(1+\frac{1}{n})^{n}\). If \(v>1\), then \(A_n(v,M)\le \frac{M^2}{2v-1}\frac{(n+1)^{2v-1}-1}{n}(1+\frac{1}{n})^n=O(n^{2v-2}).\)
This completes the proof. \(\square \)
Remark 1
We point out that \(|a_n|+|b_n|\le \sqrt{2(|a_n|^2+|b_n|^2)}\le \sqrt{2A_n(v,M)}\). This implies that for \(0< v<1\), the coefficients of harmonic v-Bloch mappings would close to 0 as \(n\rightarrow \infty \). Furthermore, our results show that for \(v\ge 1\), \(|a_n|+|b_n|\le O(n^{v-1})\). The following example shows that Theorem 1 is sharp for \(v=1\).
Example 1
For \(v=1\), we consider harmonic function:
Then
Hence,
It follows from (1) that f(z) is a 1-Bloch harmonic function. Moreover, its coefficients do not tend to 0.
Theorem 3
Let \(f(z)=h(z)+\overline{g(z)}\) be a harmonic v-Bloch mapping of \({\mathbb {D}}\) satisfying \(f(0)=\lambda _f(0)-1=0\) and \(0<v<\frac{1}{2}\). Then f is univalent in the disk \({\mathbb {D}}_{r_*}:=\{z: |z|<r_*\}\), where \(r_*\) is the root of the following equation:
and \(\Phi (r):=\sum \limits _{n=1}^{\infty }\sqrt{n+1}r^n\).
Proof
Let \(z_1=r_1e^{i\theta _1}\in {\mathbb {D}}_r\) and \(z_2=r_2e^{i\theta _2}\in {\mathbb {D}}_r\), where \(0<r<r_*\) and \(z_1\ne z_2\). For \(0<v<\frac{1}{2}\), applying Theorem 1, we have
Then
Since \(\varphi (r)\) is a continuous decreasing function satisfying \(\varphi (0)=1\), \(\lim \limits _{r\rightarrow 1^{-}}\varphi (r)=-\infty \), we see that equation \(\varphi (r)=0\) has the root \(0<r_*<1\). Then for any \(0<r<r_{*}\), we have \(|f(z_1)-f(z_2)|>0\). This shows that f(z) is univalent in the disk \(D_{r_{*}}\).
The proof is completed. \(\square \)
For \(M=1\) and some constants \(v\in \left( 0, \frac{1}{2}\right) \), when calculated by computer, we obtain some \(r_{*}\) which were shown by the following table:
M | v | \(r_*\) |
---|---|---|
1 | 1/5 | 0.264534 |
1 | 1/4 | 0.248227 |
1 | 1/3 | 0.214222 |
1 | 49/100 | 0.0650995 |
3 Coefficient Estimates for Harmonic K-Quasiconformal Mappings
Theorem 3 Given \(K\ge 1\), let \(f(z)=P[F](z)=h(z)+\overline{g(z)}\) be a harmonic K-quasiconformal self-mapping of \({\mathbb {D}}\) satisfying \(f(0)=0\) with the boundary function F, where
are analytic in \({\mathbb {D}}\). Then
In particular, if \(K=1\) then \(|a_n|+|b_n|\le B_n(1)=\frac{4}{n\pi }.\)
Proof
For every \(z=re^{i\theta }\in {\mathbb {D}}\),
We find that
For every n (see [12] and [15]), we set \(a_n=|a_n|e^{i\alpha _n}\) , \(b_n=|b_n|e^{i\beta _n}\) and \(\theta _n=\frac{\alpha _n+\beta _n}{2n}\). Then
Integrating by parts, we have
In [8, Theorem 2.8], Kalaj proved that the radial limits of \(f_{\theta }\) and \(f_r\) exist almost everywhere and
for almost every \(z=re^{i\theta }\in {\mathbb {D}}\). Here F is the boundary function of f. Hence, tending \(r\rightarrow 1^-\) in (12) and also using (4), we obtain:
This completes the proof. \(\square \)
Remark 2
Given the boundary function \(F(t)=\rho (t)e^{i\gamma (t)}\) of \({\mathbb {R}}\) onto a convex Jordan curve \(\gamma \in C^{1,\mu } (0<\mu \le 1)\), suppose that \(f(z)=P[F](z)\) is a harmonic K-quasiconformal mapping of \({\mathbb {D}}\) onto the convex domain bounded by \(\gamma \). According to [8, Theorem 3.1], we know that \(\Vert F{^\prime }(t)\Vert _{\infty }<\infty \). Using (12), we can see that \(|a_n|+|b_n|\le \frac{4\Vert F{^\prime }\Vert _{\infty }}{n\pi }\rightarrow 0\), as \(n\rightarrow \infty \).
