Koumandos–Ruscheweyh weaker conjecture for partial sums

About 8 years old · traced to

Let snμ(z)=∑k=0n(μ)kk!zks_n^{\mu}(z)=\displaystyle\sum_{k=0}^n \frac{(\mu)_k}{k!}z^k for 0<μ≤10<\mu\leq1, and let ρ∈(0,1]\rho\in(0,1]. Let μ∗(ρ)\mu^{\ast}(\rho) be the number defined by

∫0(ρ+1)πsin⁡(t−ρπ)t1−μdt=0.\int_{0}^{(\rho+1)\pi}\frac{\sin(t-\rho\pi)}{t^{1-\mu}}dt=0.

Koumandos–Ruscheweyh weaker conjecture. For every z∈Dz\in\mathbb{D}, n∈Nn\in\mathbb{N}, and 0<μ≤μ∗(ρ)0<\mu\leq\mu^{\ast}(\rho),

Re⁡((1−z)2ρ−1snμ(z))>0.\operatorname{Re}\left((1-z)^{2\rho-1}s_n^{\mu}(z)\right)>0.

Moreover, μ∗(ρ)\mu^{\ast}(\rho) is the largest number with this property. This is presented as a weaker form of the preceding subordination conjecture, and the supplied text gives no resolution status.
