Gustedt, J., On the pathwidth of chordal graphs, Discrete Applied Mathematics 45 (1993) 233-248. In this paper we first show that the pathwidth problem for chordal graphs is NP-hard. Then we give polynomial algorithms for subclasses. One of those classes are the k-starlike graphs a generalization of split graphs. The other class are the primitive starlike graphs a class of graphs where the inte...

We make a survey of recent results on the geometrical properties of smooth bump functions and the geometrical and topological properties of starlike bodies in Banach spaces. We try to stress the interplay between infinitedimensional topology and nonlinear functional analysis by relating questions about topological and geometrical properties of starlike bodies to other interesting problems on no...

Alexander [1] was the first to introduce certain subclasses of univalent functions examining the geometric properties of the image f(D) of D under f . The convex functions are those that map D onto a convex set. A function w = f(z) is said to be starlike if, together with any of its points w, the image f(D) contains the entire segment {tw : 0 ≤ t ≤ 1}. Thus we introduce the denotations S = {f ∈...

A parabolic starlike function f of order ρ in the unit disk is characterized by the fact that the quantity z f ′(z)/ f (z) lies in a given parabolic region in the right half-plane. Denote the class of such functions by PS∗(ρ). This class is contained in the larger class of starlike functions of order ρ. Subordination results for PS∗(ρ) are established, which yield sharp growth, covering, and di...

Let ∑ p be the class of functions f(z) which are analytic in the punctured disk E∗ = {z ∈ C : 0 < |z| < 1}. Applying the linear operator Dn+p defined by using the convolutions, the subclass n+p(α) of ∑ p is considered. The object of the present paper is to prove that n+p(α) ⊂ n+p−1(α). Since 0(α) is the class of meromorphic p-valent starlike functions of order α, all functions in n+p−1(α) are m...

Double integral operators which were considered by S. S. Miller and P. T. Mocanu Integral Transform. Spec. Funct. 19 2008 , 591–597 are discussed. In order to show the analytic function f z is starlike of order β in the open unit disk U, the theory of differential subordinations for analytic functions is applied. The object of the present paper is to discuss some interesting conditions for f z ...

A normalized univalent function f is called Ma–Minda starlike or convex if zf ðzÞ=f ðzÞ uðzÞ or 1þ zf ðzÞ=f 0ðzÞ uðzÞ where u is a convex univalent function with uð0Þ 1⁄4 1. The class of Ma–Minda convex functions is shown to be closed under certain operators that are generalizations of previously studied operators. Analogous inclusion results are also obtained for subclasses of starlike and clo...

Also let S, S∗ β , CV β , and K denote, respectively, the subclasses of A0 consisting of functions which are univalent, starlike of order β, convex of order β cf. 1 , and close-to-convex cf. 2 in U. In particular, S∗ 0 S∗ and CV 0 CV are the familiar classes of starlike and convex functions in U cf. 2 . Given f and g inA, the function f is said to be subordinate to g in U if there exits a funct...
