The sharp bound of the second Hankel determinant of logarithmic coefficients of inverse functions of strongly starlike functions is computed.

Let $\mathcal {S}$ denote the class of univalent functions in the open unit disc $\mathbb {D}:=\{z\in \mathbb {C}:\, |z|<1\}$ with the form $f(z)= z+\sum _{n=2}^{\infty }a_n z^n$. The logarithmic coefficients $\gamma _{n}$ of $f\in \mathcal {S}$ are defined by $F_{f}(z):= \log (f(z)/z)=2\sum _{n=1}^{\infty }\gamma _{n}z^{n}$. The second Hankel determinant for logarithmic coefficients is defined by

$$ \begin{align*} H_{2,2}(F_f/2) = \begin{vmatrix} \gamma_2 & \gamma_3 \\ \gamma_3 & \gamma_4 \end{vmatrix} =\gamma_2\gamma_4 -\gamma_3^2. \end{align*} $$

We obtain sharp upper bounds of the second Hankel determinant of logarithmic coefficients for starlike and convex functions.

Let ${\mathcal{S}}$ be the family of analytic and univalent functions $f$ in the unit disk $\mathbb{D}$ with the normalization $f(0)=f^{\prime }(0)-1=0$, and let $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FE}_{n}(f)=\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FE}_{n}$ denote the logarithmic coefficients of $f\in {\mathcal{S}}$. In this paper we study bounds for the logarithmic coefficients for certain subfamilies of univalent functions. Also, we consider the families ${\mathcal{F}}(c)$ and ${\mathcal{G}}(c)$ of functions $f\in {\mathcal{S}}$ defined by

$$\begin{eqnarray}\text{Re}\biggl(1+{\displaystyle \frac{zf^{\prime \prime }(z)}{f^{\prime }(z)}}\biggr)>1-{\displaystyle \frac{c}{2}}\quad \text{and}\quad \text{Re}\biggl(1+{\displaystyle \frac{zf^{\prime \prime }(z)}{f^{\prime }(z)}}\biggr)<1+{\displaystyle \frac{c}{2}},\quad z\in \mathbb{D},\end{eqnarray}$$

  $$\begin{eqnarray}\mathop{\sum }_{n=1}^{\infty }|\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FE}_{n}|^{2}\leq {\displaystyle \frac{\unicode[STIX]{x1D70B}^{2}}{6}}+{\displaystyle \frac{1}{4}}~\text{Li}_{2}\biggl({\displaystyle \frac{1}{4}}\biggr)-\text{Li}_{2}\biggl({\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}}\biggr),\end{eqnarray}$$
  where $\text{Li}_{2}(x)$ denotes the dilogarithm function.

• ∙ If $f\in {\mathcal{G}}(c)$, then $|\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FE}_{n}|\leq c/2n(n+1)$ for $n\geq 1$.

Let the function $f$ be analytic in $\mathbb{D}=\{z:|z|<1\}$ and given by $f(z)=z+\sum _{n=2}^{\infty }a_{n}z^{n}$. For $0<\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FD}\leq 1$, denote by ${\mathcal{C}}(\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FD})$ the class of strongly convex functions. We give sharp bounds for the initial coefficients of the inverse function of $f\in {\mathcal{C}}(\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FD})$, showing that these estimates are the same as those for functions in ${\mathcal{C}}(\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FD})$, thus extending a classical result for convex functions. We also give invariance results for the second Hankel determinant $H_{2}=|a_{2}a_{4}-a_{3}^{2}|$, the first three coefficients of $\log (f(z)/z)$ and Fekete–Szegö theorems.
