By using the Hadamard product, Ruscheweyh [4] defined z ∗ f (z) (α −1). D α f (z) = (1 − z)α+1
(1.4)
Ruscheweyh [4] observed that D k f (z) =
z(zk−1 f (z))(k) k!
(1.5)
when k = α ∈ N0 = N ∪ {0} = {0, 1, 2, . . .}. This symbol D k f (z) (k ∈ N0 ) was called the kth order Ruscheweyh derivative of f (z) by Al-Amiri [2]. We note that D 0 f (z) = f (z) and D 1 f (z) = zf (z). Let Rα denote the class of functions f (z) in A that satisfy the condition Re
D α+1 f (z) 1 > , D α f (z) 2
α −1, z ∈ U.
(1.6)
Ruscheweyh [5] called this class prestarlike of order α, see also Al-Amiri [1]. Also let Rα (β) denote the class of functions f (z) in A that satisfy the relation Re
D α+1 f (z) α + 2β > , D α f (z) 2(α + 1)
α 0, 0 β < 1, z ∈ U.
(1.7)
Al-Amiri [3] called this class prestarlike of order α and type β. Al-Amiri [3] proved that if ∞ (2n + α − 2β)C(α, n)|an | 2 + α − 2β, (1.8) n=2
then f (z) ∈ Rα (β), f (z) is defined by (1.1), α 0, 0 β < 1, and n (k + α − 1) , n = 2, 3, . . . . C(α, n) = k=2 (n − 1)!
(1.9)
Let Hα (β) denote the class of functions f (z) in A whose coefficients satisfy the condition (1.8). We note that Hα (β) ⊆ Rα (β). We easily see that Example 1.1. z ∈ Rα (α > −1); (i) f (z) = (1−z) (ii) f (z) = z 2 F 1 (1, 2 + α − 2β; 1 + α; z) ∈ Rα (β) (α 0, 0 β < 1); where ∞ (α)k (β)k k z 2 F 1 (α, β; γ ; z) = (γ )k k! k=0

(iii) For α 0 and 0 β < 1, the functions 2 + α − 2β z2 , (1 + α)(4 + α − 2β) 2(2 + α − 2β) f2 (z) = z ± z3 and (1 + α)(2 + α)(6 + α − 2β) 1 3 + α − 4β f3 (z) = z ± z2 ± z3 2(4 + α − 2β) (1 + α)(2 + α)(6 + α − 2β) are members in the class Hα (β). f1 (z) = z ±
We need the following definitions and lemma. Definition 1.1 (Subordination Principle). Let g(z) be analytic and univalent in U . If f (z) is analytic in U , f (0) = g(0), and f (U ) ⊂ g(U ), then we say that f (z) is subordinate to g(z) in U , and we write f (z) ≺ g(z). We also say that g(z) is superordinate to f (z) in U . Definition 1.2 (Subordinating Factor Sequence). A sequence {bn }∞ n=1 of complex numbers is called a subordinating factor sequence if for every univalent function f (z) in K, we have the subordination given by ∞
bn an zn ≺ f (z)
(z ∈ U, a1 = 1).

Lemma 1.1. The sequence {bn }∞ n=1 is a subordinating factor sequence if and only if ∞ bn zn > 0 (z ∈ U ). Re 1 + 2 (1.11) n=1
This lemma due to Wilf [7].
2. Main theorem Theorem 2.1. Let f (z) ∈ Hα (β). Then (4 + α − 2β)(1 + α) (f ∗ g)(z) ≺ g(z) 2[α + (2 + α)(3 + α − 2β)] for every function g(z) in K, and [α + (2 + α)(3 + α − 2β)] Re f (z) > − . (4 + α − 2β)(1 + α) The constant
(4+α−2β)(1+α) 2[α+(2+α)(3+α−2β)]
is the best estimate.

n Proof. Let f (z) ∈ Hα (β) and let g(z) = z + ∞ n=2 cn z be any function in the class K. Then (4 + α − 2β)(1 + α) (f ∗ g)(z) 2[α + (2 + α)(3 + α − 2β)] ∞ (4 + α − 2β)(1 + α) = an cn z n . (2.3) z+ 2[α + (2 + α)(3 + α − 2β)] n=2
Thus, by Definition 1.2, (2.1) will hold if the sequence the assertion of the theorem will hold if the sequence ∞ (4 + α − 2β)(1 + α)an (2.4) 2[α + (2 + α)(3 + α − 2β)] n=1 is a subordinating factor sequence, with a1 = 1. In view of Lemma 1.1, this equivalent to ∞ (4 + α − 2β)(1 + α) n an z > 0 (z ∈ U ). Re 1 + 2 (2.5) 2[α + (2 + α)(3 + α − 2β)] n=1
Now
∞
(4 + α − 2β)(1 + α) Re 1 + an z n [α + (2 + α)(3 + α − 2β)] n=1 (4 + α − 2β)(1 + α) z = Re 1 + [α + (2 + α)(3 + α − 2β)]
∞
1 + (4 + α − 2β)(1 + α)an zn [α + (2 + α)(3 + α − 2β)] n=2 (4 + α − 2β)(1 + α) >1− r [α + (2 + α)(3 + α − 2β)]
∞ 1 n (2n + α − 2β)C(α, n)|an |r − [α + (2 + α)(3 + α − 2β)] n=2
because C(α, n) is increasing function of n (4 + α − 2β)(1 + α) 2 + α − 2β >1− r− r (|z| = r) [α + (2 + α)(3 + α − 2β)] [α + (2 + α)(3 + α − 2β)] > 0. Thus (2.5) holds true in U . This proves (2.1), (2.2) follows by taking g(z) = Now, we consider the function 2 + α − 2β z2 (α 0, 0 β < 1), f0 (z) = z − (4 + α − 2β)(1 + α) which is a member of the class Hα (β); then by using (2.1), we have z (4 + α − 2β)(1 + α) f0 (z) ≺ . 2[α + (2 + α)(3 + α − 2β)] 1−z

It can be easily verified that min Re

(z ∈ U ),
(2.8)
(4+α−2β)(1+α) then, the constant 2[α+(2+α)(3+α−2β)] cannot be replaced by any larger one. The proof is complete. 2
Taking β = 12 , we obtain the following corollary: Corollary 2.1. Let f (z) ∈ Rα , then (3 + α) (f ∗ g)(z) ≺ g(z) 2(4 + α)
(z ∈ U, α 0)
(2.9)
for every function g(z) in K, and Re f (z) > − The constant
(4 + α) . (3 + α)
(3+α) 2(4+α)

is the best estimate.
Taking α = 0 and β = 0 in the Theorem 2.1, we obtain the following corollary: Corollary 2.2 [6]. If the function f (z) of the form (1.1) is regular in U and satisfies ∞ n|a | n 1, then for every function g(z) in K, we have n=2 1 (f ∗ g)(z) ≺ g(z) 3
|z| < 1 ,
in particular Re{f (z)} > − 23 , z ∈ U . The constant

cannot be replaced by any larger one.
