Abstract

Let D denote the open unit disc and f : D be meromorphic and injective in D. We further assume that f has a simple pole at the point p ∈ (0, 1) and an expansion

.

In particular, we consider functions f that map D onto a domain whose complement with respect to is convex. Because of the shape of f (D) these functions will be called concave univalent functions with pole p and the family of these functions is denoted by Co(p).

It is proved that for fixed p ∈ (0, 1) the domain of variability of the coefficient an(f), n ⩾ 2, fCo(p), is determined by the inequality

.

This settles two conjectures published by A. E. Livingston in 1994 and by Ch. Pommerenke and the authors of the present article in 2004.
