In the recent papers of Goyal et al. [1] and Xu et al. [2], the authors obtained some sufficient conditions for multivalent and meromorphic starlikeness and convexity, respectively. In this paper we will derive some extensions of these sufficient conditions for starlikeness and convexity of order α for meromorphic multivalent functions.
2 Main results
In order to find some simple sufficient conditions for the starlikeness and convexity of order α for a function f ∈ Σp, n, we will recall the following lemma due to P. T. Mocanu (see also [3]):
then
Remark that, for the special case n = 1, this result was previously obtained in [5, Theorem 3].
for some real values of α (0 ≤ α < p), then
hence, according to Lemma 2.1, we deduce that
that is
then
Therefore, the function h satisfies the condition of Lemma 2.1, and thus
Next, we will give some sufficient conditions for a function f ∈ Σp, n to be a convex function of order α.
for some real values of α (0 ≤ α < p), then f ∈ ΣKp, n(α). (The power is the principal one).
hence f ∈ ΣKp, n(α). □
for some real values of α (0 ≤ α < p), then f ∈ ΣKp, n(α). (The power is the principal one).
For f ∈ Σp, n with f′(z) ≠ 0 for all
According to Lemma 2.1 we obtain that
- If we put n = 1 in Theorem 2.2 and Theorem 2.3, we get the results established by Xu et al. [2].
- For the special case n = 1, Theorem 2.4 and Theorem 2.5 represent the results of Xu et al. [2].
where the power is the principal one. Thus,
for

Thus, according to Theorem 2.2 we obtain the following special case:
for some real values of α (0 ≤ α < p), where the power is the principal one.
Now, according to Theorem 2.3 we obtain the following special case:
for some real values of α (0 ≤ α < p), where the power is the principal one.
If we compare the result given by Example 3.1 with the above one, for this special choice of the function f the Example 3.1 gives a better result.
where 0 ≤ α < p, and the power is the principal one, assuming that λ ∈ ℂ is chosen such that
and from Theorem 2.4 we obtain the following special case:
for some real values of α (0 ≤ α < p), is in ΣKp, n(α). (The power is the principal one).
and using Theorem 2.5 we obtain the next special case:
If λ ∈ ℂ and
Comparing the result given by Example 3.3 with the above one, for this special choice of the function f the Example 3.3 gives a better result.
and from Theorem 2.7 we obtain the next special case:
If λ ∈ ℂ and
From (22) and (23), using Theorem 2.2 we may easily obtain the following special case:
for some real values of α (0 ≤ α < p), where the power is the principal one.
From (22) and (24), according to Theorem 2.3 we could similarly obtain the next special case:
for some real values of α (0 ≤ α < p), where the power is the principal one.
Thus, for this special choice of the function f the Example 3.6 gives a better result.
From (22) and (24), using Theorem 2.4 we easily get the next special case:

If λ ∈ ℂ and
Consequently, for this special choice of the function f the Example 3.8 gives a better result.
Finally, from the inequalities (22) and (25), using Theorem 2.7 we obtain the next special case:

We will omit the detailed proofs of the last three examples, since these are similar with the previous ones.
