Abstract
In this article we consider the class ${\mathcal{A}}(p)$ which consists of functions that are meromorphic in the unit disc $\mathbb{D}$ having a simple pole at $z=p{\in}(0,1)$ with the normalization $f(0)=0=f^{\prime}(0)-1$. First we prove some sufficient conditions for univalence of such functions in $\mathbb{D}$. One of these conditions enable us to consider the class ${\mathcal{A}}_p({\lambda})$ that consists of functions satisfying certain differential inequality which forces univalence of such functions. Next we establish that ${\mathcal{U}}_p({\lambda}){\subsetneq}{\mathcal{A}}_p({\lambda})$, where ${\mathcal{U}}_p({\lambda})$ was introduced and studied in [2]. Finally, we discuss some coefficient problems for ${\mathcal{A}}_p({\lambda})$ and end the article with a coefficient conjecture.
