Abstract We first prove that the convolution of a normalied right half-plane mapping with another subclass of normalied right half-plane mappings with the dilatation.a C /=. C a/ is CH (convex in the horiontal direction) provided a or a 0. Secondly, we give a simply method to prove the convolution of two special subclasses of harmonic univalent mappings in the right half-plane is CH which was proved by Kumar et al. [, Theorem.]. In addition, we derive the convolution of harmonic univalent mappings involving the generalied harmonic right half-plane mappings is CH. Finally, we present two examples of harmonic mappings to illuminate our main results. Keywords Harmonic univalent mappings, Harmonic convolution, Generalied right half-plane mappings MSC 30C45, 58E0 Introduction and main results Assume that f uciv is a complex-valued harmonic function defined on the open unit disk U f C W jj < g, where u and v are real harmonic functions in U. Such function can be expressed as f h C g, where X X h./ C a n n and g./ b n n n are analytic in U, h and g are known as the analytic part and co-analytic part of f, respectively. A harmonic mapping f hcg is locally univalent and sense-preserving if and only if the dilatation of f defined by!./ g 0./=h 0./, satisfies j!./j < for all U. We denote by S H the class of all harmonic, sense-preserving and univalent mappings f h C g in U, which are normalied by the conditions h.0/ g.0/ 0 and h 0.0/. Let SH 0 be the subset of all f S H in which g 0.0/ 0. Further, let K H ; C H (resp. KH 0 ; C0 H ) be the subclass of S H (resp. SH 0 ) whose images are convex and close-to-convex domains. A domain is said to be convex in the horiontal direction (CH) if every line parallel to the real axis has a connected intersection with.

Liu the convolution (or Hadamard product) of them is given by X X.f F /./.h H /./ C.g G/./ C a n A n n C b n B n n Many research papers in recent years have studied the convolution or Hadamard product of planar harmonic mappings, see [ ]. However, corresponding questions for the class of univalent harmonic mappings seem to be difficult to handle as can be seen from the recent investigations of the authors [3 7]. In [], Kumar et al. constructed the harmonic functions f a h a C g a K H in the right half-plane, which satisfy the conditions h a C g a =. / with! a./.a /=. a/. < a < ).

[4, 5]). They proved that Theorem A ([4, Theorem 5]). Let f h C g ; f h C g SH 0 with h i C g i =. / for i ;. If f f is locally univalent and sense-preserving, then f f SH 0 and convex in the horiontal direction. Theorem B ([5, Theorem 3]). Let f n h C g SH 0 with h C g =. / and!./ g0./=h 0./ e i n.

Then f 0 f SH 0 and is convex in the horiontal direction. / and!./. C a/=. C a/ We now begin to state the elementary result concerning the convolutions of f 0 with the other special subclass harmonic mappings. Theorem.. Let f h C g SH 0 with h./ C g./ =. / and!./. C a/=. C a/, then f 0 f SH 0 and is convex in the horiontal direction for a or a 0. The following generalied right half-plane harmonic univalent mappings were introduced by Muir [7] L c./ H c./ C G c./ C c C c. / C C c c. /. UI c > 0/ (3) Clearly, L./ f 0./, it was proved in [7] that L c.u/ fre.!/ > f h C g S H, then the above representation gives that =. C c/g for each c > 0.

Convolutions of harmonic right half-plane mappings 79 enote by r and s the number of eros of p./ inside the unit circle and on it, respectively. If ja 0;0 j < ja n;0 j, then p./ a n;0p./ a 0;0 p./ is of degree n with r r and s s the number of eros of p./ inside the unit circle and on it, respectively. It should be remarked that Cohn s Rule and Schur-Cohn s algorithm [9, p. 378] are important tools to prove harmonic mappings are locally univalent and sense-preserving. Some related works have been done on these topics, one can refer to [, 3, 6, 3, 5, 6]. In [], the authors proved the following result. Theorem. Let f a h a C g a be given by (). If f n h C g is the right half-plane mapping given by h C g =. / with!./ e i n. R; n N C /, then f a f n S H is CH for a Πn nc ; /. In this paper, we will use a new method to prove the above theorem. The main difference of our work from [] is that we construct a sequence of functions for finding all eros of polynomials which are in U, and we will show that the dilatation of f a f n satisfies je!./j j.g a g/ 0 =.h a h/ 0 j < by using mathematical induction, which greatly simplifies the calculation compared with the proof of Theorem. in []. We also show that L c f a is univalent and convex in the horiontal direction for 0 < c. C a/=. a/, and derive the following theorem. Theorem.. Let L c H c C G c be harmonic mappings given by (3). If f a h a C g a is the right half-plane mappings given by (), then L c f a is univalent and convex in the horiontal direction for 0 < c.ca/=. a/. Recently, Liu and Li [6] defined a subclass of harmonic mappings defined by P c./ H c./ G c./ c C c. / C C c C c. / They proved the following result.. UI c > 0/ (7) Theorem E. ([6, Theorem 7]) Let P c./ be harmonic mappings defined by (7) and f n hcg with h g =. / and dilatation!./ e i n. R; n N C /. Then P c f n is univalent and convex in the horiontal direction for 0 < c =n. Similar to the approach used in the proof of Theorem E, we get the following result. Theorem.3. Let L c H c C G c be harmonic mappings given by (3) and f n h C g with h C g =. / and dilatation!./ e i n. R; n N C /. Then L c f n is univalent and convex in the horiontal direction for 0 < c =n. Remark.4. In Theorem. and Theorem.3, let c, clearly, L f 0, so Theorem. and Theorem.3 are generaliation of Theorem C and Theorem B, respectively. It also explains why Theorem B does not hold for n 3, since c, according to Theorem.3, it follows that 0 < c =n hold for n ;. Preliminary results In this section, we will give the following lemmas which play an important role in proving the main results. Lemma. ([5, Eq.(6)]).

Therefore, by Lemma.5 and the equation (), we know that H c h G c g is convex in the horiontal direction.
