Let Ap denote the class of functions f Ž z . s z p q Ý`kspq1 a k z k which are analytic and p-valent in the unit disk D.

The class SPplŽ a . is a subclass of p-valent l-spirallike functions of order a . For p s 1 and l s 0 the class SPplŽ a . reduces to the class of starlike functions of order a . Also let SP Ž a , A, B . denote the class of functions in S satisfying eia

In this paper we compute the radius of convexity of order b of uniformly convex functions and the radius of starlikeness of functions defined through subordination. These results are not only extensions of known results but also lead to many new results about known classes. Also we compute the radius of strong starlikeness of certain classes of analytic functions.

2. RADIUS OF CONVEXITY In this section we compute the radius of convexity of order b - 1 of the class UCV of uniformly convex functions and the radius of starlikeness of order b of the class ST Ž f .. The analytic function f Ž z . g S is uniformly convex if for every circular arc g contained in D with center z g D, the image arc f Žg . is convex. In w2, 9x, it was shown that the function f Ž z . is

and hence f is a convex function of order 1r2. The class Spar of functions zf 9Ž z . with f Ž z . in UCV was introduced in w9x and clearly f Ž z . is in Spar if and only if for every z g D, Re

This means that the uniformly convex functions are convex of order 1r2. Similarly if f g Spar then f is starlike of order 1r2. More generally we have the following THEOREM 2.2.

The condition Ž1. leads to an explicit expression for RŽ b .. If the condition is dropped, RŽ b . is computed such that the condition Re f Ž z . G b is satisfied. Note that the function P Ž z . satisfies the conditions of Theorem 2.2. Therefore Theorem 2.1 follows from Theorem 2.2. Also we have the following corollaries. COROLLARY 2.2. Let f g ST Ž a ., 0 F a - 1. For 0 F b - 1, f g ST Ž b . in < z < F RŽ b . where

Since B sin 2 a F 0, we note that Im C s yB Ž A y B .sin a cos a G 0. Using Lemma 3.1 we see that the function f is strongly starlike of order g in < z < - RŽg . provided the following inequality is satisfied for 0 F r F RŽg .:
