For
$-1\leq B \lt A\leq 1$
, let
$\mathcal{C}(A,B)$
denote the class of normalized Janowski convex functions defined in the unit disk
$\mathbb{D}:=\{z\in\mathbb{C}:|z| \lt 1\}$
that satisfy the subordination relation
$1+zf''(z)/f'(z)\prec (1+Az)/(1+Bz)$
. In the present article, we determine the sharp estimate of the Schwarzian norm for functions in the class
$\mathcal{C}(A,B)$
. The Dieudonné’s lemma which gives the exact region of variability for derivatives at a point of bounded functions, plays the key role in this study, and we also use this lemma to construct the extremal functions for the sharpness by a new method.
