Weak Zalcman conjecture via the functionals (Cr)(C_r)

Let SS be the class of normalized univalent functions in the unit disk, with

f(z)=z+k=2akzk,f(z)=z+\sum_{k=2}^\infty a_k z^k,

and, for r[0,1]r\in[0,1], let (Cr)(C_r) denote the statement

an2a2n1+ra2n1(n1)2+r(2n1)|a_n^2-a_{2n-1}|+r|a_{2n-1}|\le (n-1)^2+r(2n-1)

for every fSf\in S and every n2n\ge 2. Second weak version of the Zalcman conjecture. There exists r[0,1]r\in[0,1] such that (Cr)(C_r) holds.

This is a weaker form of Zalcman's conjecture arising from the corresponding equivalent inequality with a parameter. The source does not establish the existence of such an rr, so the claim remains open.
