“…It is known that even if f and g are convex analytic functions, the convex combination of f and g may not be a univalent function (see [18], and for more recent studies of linear combinations of harmonic mappings, see [17,[19][20][21][22][23]). Moreover, Kumar et al [20] studied the convexity of linear combination of harmonic mappings, which are shears of the analytic mapping [23] studied and found necessary conditions for the convex combination of the right half-plane mappings, the vertical strip mapping, their rotations, and some other harmonic mappings to be univalent and convex in a particular direction. In Section 3, the convex combination of mappings of the family of sense-preserving and locally univalent harmonic mappings f α � h α + g α , by shearing the function h α + g α � K α where…”
