Level sets for functions convex in one direction

Johnny E. Brown
1987 Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society  
Goodman and Saff conjectured that if / is convex in the direction of the imaginary axis then so are the functions \f(rz) for all 0 < r < \2 -1, i.e., the level sets f(\z\ < r) are convex in the direction of the imaginary axis for 0 < r < \¡2 -1. A weak form of this conjecture is proved and a question of Brannan is answered negatively.
