Abstract:
The principal coefficient problem for $p$-valent functions, the Goodman conjecture,
is considered for polynomial compositions. In this, case, the problem is reduced to a
coefficient conjecture for functions of several complex variables related to univalent functions.
The proof is based on the Lyzzaik–Styer determinant theorem. Some advantages
of the equivalent conjecture are discussed.
Keywords:$p$-valent functions, the Goluzin area theorem, the Goodman conjecture.
