Let {ak} be a sequence of non-negative real numbers satisfying a1 = l and

Brannan [1] proved that the function

is close-to-convex univalent in the unit disc D. The example

shows that the conclusion in Brannan's theorem is sharp in that sense that “close-to-convex” cannot be replaced by the stronger one: “starlike”. It is therefore of interest to see which additional condition can guarantee this stronger conclusion.
