Abstract
In 1995, Roper and Suffridge defined an extension operator which maps a locally biholomorphic function on the unit diskD in ℂ to a locally biholomorphic mapping on the unit ballB n in ℂn. This extension operator preserves many important properties, e.g., convexity and starlikeness, etc. In this note, we introduce the family ofε starlike mappings, and prove that the Roper-Suffridge extension operator preserves theε starlikeness on some Reinhardt domains. This result includes many known results and solves an open problem of Graham and Kohr.
