First order differential subordination for functions with positive real part

Abstract

Sharp estimates on ${\hat{I}}^2$ are determined so that an analytic function $p$ defined on the open unit disk in the complex plane normalized by $p(0)=1$ is subordinate to some well known starlike functions with positive real part whenever $1+βz p'(z), \,\,1+βz p'(z)/p(z), \,\,\mbox{or}\,\,1+βz p'(z)/p^{2}(z)$ is subordinate to $\sqrt{1+z}$. Our results provide sharp version of previously known results.
