Abstract

Let S denote the usual class of functions f holomorphic and univalent in the unit disk U such that f(0) = f′(0) - 1 = 0. The main result of the paper is that area(f(U)) ≥ (27π/8)(2 - α)-2 for all f ∈ S such that |f″(0)| = 2α, 1/2 < α < 2. This solves a long-standing extremal problem for the class of functions considered.
