On the pre-Schwarzian and Schwarzian derivatives of log-harmonic mappings

Abstract

In this paper, we introduce definitions of the pre-Schwarzian and the Schwarzian derivatives for any locally univalent log-harmonic mappings defined in the unit disk $\mathbb{D}=\{z\in \mathbb{C}:|z|<1\}$. We explore the properties and applications of these concepts in the context of geometric function theory, and we also establish a necessary and sufficient condition for a non-vanishing log-harmonic mapping having a finite pre-Schwarzian norm. Additionally, we establish a relationship between the pre-Schwarzian norm of a non-vanishing log-harmonic mapping and that of a certain analytic function in $\mathbb{D}$.
