1. Introduction
Let U ≔ fz ∈ ℂ : jzj <1g denote the open unit disk in the
complex plane ℂ. Let A be the category of analytic functions
f in U for which f has the following representation:

Also, let S be the subclass of A consisting of all univalent
functions in U. Then, the logarithmic coefficients γ
n
of the
function f ∈ S are defined with the aid of the following series
expansion:

These coefficients play an important role for different
estimates in the theory of univalent functions, and note that
we use γ

ð f Þ. Kayumov [1] solved Brennan’s
conjecture for conformal mappings with the help of studying
the logarithmic coefficients. The significance of the logarith-
mic coefficients follows from Lebedev-Milin inequalities ([2],
chapter 2; see also [3, 4]), where estimates of the logarithmic
coefficients were applied to obtain bounds on the coefficients
of f . Milin [2] conjectured the inequality
