Abstract

For and , we consider a liner operator on the class of analytic functions in the unit disk defined by the convolution , where , and introduce a certain new subclass of using this operator. Several interesting properties of these classes are obtained.

1. Introduction

Let denote the class of functions of the form which are analytic in the unit disk .

If satisfies then is said to be strongly starlike of order and type in , and denoted by .

If satisfies then is said to be strongly convex of order and type in , and denoted by . It is obvious that belongs to if and if . Further, we note that and which are, respectively, starlike and convex univalent functions of order .

Let denote the class of functions of the form analytic in which satisfy the condition .

For functions given by (1.1) and , let denote the Hadamard product (or convolution) of and , defined by If and are analytic in , we say that is subordinate to , written or , if there exists a Schwarz function in such that [1].

Let . Denote by the operator defined by It is obvious that , , and The operator is called the th-order Ruscheweyh derivative of . Recently, K. I. Noor [2] and K. I. Noor and M. A. Noor [3] defined and studied an integral operator , analogous to as follows.

Let , and be defined such that Then We note that , . The operator is called the Noor integral of th order of (see [4, 5]), which is an important tool in defining several classes of analytic functions. In recent years, it has been shown that Noor integral operator has fundamental and significant applications in the geometric function theory.

For real or complex numbers , , other than , the hypergeometric series is defined by where is Pochhammer symbol defined by

We note that the series (1.9) converges absolutely for all so that it represents an analytic function in . Also an incomplete beta function is related to Gauss hypergeometric function as and we note that , where is Koebe function. Using a convolution operator [6], was defined by Carlson and Shaferr. Furthermore, Hohlov [7] introduced a convolution operator using .

N. Shukla and P. Shukla [8] studied the mapping properties of a function to be as given in and investigated the geometric properties of an integral operator of the form

Kim and Shon [9] considered linear operator defined by .

We now introduce a function given by and obtain the following linear operator: The operator is known as the generalized integral operator. For in (1.14), , which was introduced by K. I. Noor [10].

Now we find the explicit form of the function . It is well known that Putting (1.9) and (1.16) in (1.14), we get Therefore, the function has the following form:

Now we note that

From (1.19), we note that

Also it can easily be verified that Now we introduce the following classes in term of the new operator . For , , , and , let be the class of functions satisfying Observe that and . Also, for , , , and , let be the class of functions satisfying Observe that and .

Clearly, if and only if .

Note that , , , and .

Finally, let be the class of functions satisfying for , , , , and , where We also note that and are the classes of quasiconvex and close-to-convex functions of order and type , respectively, introduced and studied by Noor and Alkhorasani [11] and Silverman [12].
