1 Introduction
Let denote the class of functions f of the form
(1.1)
which are analytic in the open unit disk

A function is said to be in the class of starlike functions of orderβ if it satisfies the inequality
(1.2)
Assuming that , and , we say that a function if it satisfies the condition
(1.3)
For convenience, throughout this paper, we write
(1.4)
Recently, Ravichandran et al. [1] proved that . Subsequently, Liu et al. [2] derived various properties and characteristics such as inclusion relationships, Hadamard products, coefficient estimates, distortion theorems and cover theorems for the class and a subclass of with negative coefficients. Furthermore, Singh et al. [3] generalized the class and found several sufficient conditions for starlikeness. In the present paper, we aim at proving the neighborhoods and partial sums of the class .

2 Main results
Following the earlier works (based upon the familiar concept of a neighborhood of analytic functions) by Goodman [4] and Ruscheweyh [5], and (more recently) by Altintaş et al. [6‐9], Cǎtaş [10], Frasin [11], Keerthi et al. [12] and Srivastava et al. [13], we begin by introducing here the δ-neighborhood of a function of the form (1.1) by means of the definition
(2.1)
By making use of the definition (2.1), we now derive the following result.
Theorem 1Ifsatisfies the condition
(2.2)
then
(2.3)
Proof By noting that the condition (1.3) can be rewritten as follows:
(2.4)
we easily find from (2.4) that a function if and only if
which is equivalent to
(2.5)
where
(2.6)
It follows from (2.6) that
If satisfies the condition (2.2), we deduce from (2.5) that
or, equivalently,
(2.7)
We now suppose that
It follows from (2.1) that
(2.8)
Combining (2.7) and (2.8), we easily find that
which implies that
Therefore, we conclude that
We thus complete the proof of Theorem 1. □
Next, we derive the partial sums of the class . For some recent investigations involving the partial sums in analytic function theory, one can refer to [14‐16] and the references cited therein.
Theorem 2Letbe given by (1.1) and define the partial sumsoffby
(2.9)
If
(2.10)
then
(1) ;
(2)
(2.11)
and
(2.12)
The bounds in (2.11) and (2.12) are sharp.
Proof (1) Suppose that . We know that , which implies that
From (2.10), we easily find that
which implies that . In view of Theorem 1, we deduce that
(2) It is easy to verify that
Therefore, we have
(2.13)
We now suppose that
(2.14)
It follows from (2.13) and (2.14) that
which shows that
(2.15)
Combining (2.14) and (2.15), we deduce that the assertion (2.11) holds true.
Moreover, if we put
(2.16)
then for , we have
which implies that the bound in (2.11) is the best possible for each .
Similarly, we suppose that
(2.17)
In view of (2.13) and (2.17), we conclude that
which implies that
(2.18)
Combining (2.17) and (2.18), we readily get the assertion (2.12) of Theorem 2. The bound in (2.12) is sharp with the extremal function f given by (2.16).
The proof of Theorem 2 is thus completed. □
Finally, we turn to ratios involving derivatives. The proof of Theorem 3 below is much akin to that of Theorem 2, we here choose to omit the analogous details.
Theorem 3Letbe given by (1.1) and define the partial sumsoffby (2.9). If the condition (2.10) holds, then
(2.19)
and
(2.20)
The bounds in (2.19) and (2.20) are sharp with the extremal function given by (2.16).
Remark By setting and in Theorems 2 and 3, we get the corresponding results obtained by Silverman [16].
