1. Introduction. Let R denote the class of functions which are regular and satisfy Re f'(z)> 0 for j zI< 1 and are normalized by f (0)= 0 and f'(0)= 1. This paper develops some properties of functions in R. An early consideration of functions satisfying the condition Re f'(z)> 0 can be found in a paper by JW Alexander [1, p. 18]. He proves: if f (z) is regular in IzI< 1 and f'(z)" maps IzI< 1 upon a region contained within a half-plane bounded by a straight line through the origin" then f (z) is schlicht for zI< 1. J. Wolff [11] showed that f (z) is schlicht in Re z> 0 if it is regular there and satisfies Ref'(z)> 0. K. Noshiro [6, p. 151] and S. Warschawski [10, p. 3121 each demonstrated that Ref'(z)> 0 is a sufficient condition for the schlichtness of f (z) in any convex domain.Conversely, SR Tims [9] proved that for each simply connected nonconvex domain D there is a function f (z) regular in D such that Re f'(z)> 0 and f (z) is not schlicht in D. This result is a particular consequence of some more general theorems contained in a paper by F. Herzog and G. Piranian [2]. They determine both necessary and sufficient conditions for a domain D-not necessarily simply connected-to have the property that every function regular and satisfying Ref'(z)> 0 in D is schlicht there. A more general class of functions than those satisfying Re f'(z)> 0 is the class of close-to-convex functions. W. Kaplan [3] calls a function f (z) close-to-convex in I zI< 1 providing there is a function g (z) analytic, schlicht and convex in I zI< 1 for which Re f'(z)/g'(z)}> 0. Each function close-toconvex in IzI< 1 is schlicht there.
