Let S be the set of all normalized univalent analytic functions ƒ(z) = z + a2z2 + … in the open unit disk U. Then ƒ(U) contains the disk . Here is the best possible constant and is referred to as the Koebe constant for S. On the other extreme, ƒ(U) cannot contain the disk {|w| < 1}; unless ƒ is the identity mapping.

In order to interpolate between the class S and the identity mapping, one may introduce the families , of functions ƒS such that ƒ(U) contains the disk {|w| < d};. Then S(d1)S(d2) for d1 < d2, and S(1) contains only the identity mapping. It is obvious that d is the “Koebe constant” for S(d). The relation between d and the second coefficient a2 has been studied by E. Netanyahu [5, 6].
