1. Introduction
Bazilevič [
1] introduced the class
of functions which is defined by the integral:
where
, and
is the class of analytic function with a positive real part, and
, where
is the well-known class of starlike function in the open unit disk
. The numbers
and
are real and all powers are chosen so that the function remains single valued.
Other than the fact that
is univalent, we have little or no information on this family of functions. However, for some special cases, for example, if
and
, we obtain the well-known class
which satisfies the condition
,
, where
, and
is the class of analytic functions in
having a Taylor series expansion of the form:
For
, let
and
denote the classes of
starlike functions of order η and
convex functions of order , respectively. Babalola [
2] introduced the class of functions
, the so-called
λ-pseudo-starlike functions of order as follows: a function
is said to be in
, with
,
, if and only if it satisfies the inequality:
If
and
are real numbers such that
, let
denote the class of functions
satisfying the inequality:
The class
was introduced and first studied by Kuroki and Owa [
3].
For
given by (
1) and
, the
Jackson’s q-derivative operator or
q-difference operator for a function
is defined by (see [
4,
5]):
From the (
3), if
f has the power series expansion (
1), we can easily see that
, for
, where the
q-integer number is defined by
and note that
. Throughout this paper, we let denote:
For the function
given by (
1) and
of the form
, the
Hadamard product (or convolution) of these two functions is defined by
Throughout our present discussion, to avoid repetition, we will assume that , and may be real or complex numbers.
For the functions
f and
g that are analytic in
, we say that the function
f is
subordinate to
g if there exists a function
w, analytic in
with
and
,
such that
. We denote this subordination by
or
. In particular, if the function
g is univalent in
, the above subordination is equivalent to (see [
6,
7])
and
.
Ma-Minda [
8] considered that a given function
is an analytic function such that:
- (i)
;
- (ii)
;
- (iii)
maps the open unit disc onto a starlike region with respect to 1 and symmetric with respect to the real axis.
They also assumed that
, with
, and introduced and studied the following subclasses:
and:
By choosing
to map the unit disc onto some specific regions like parabolas, cardioid, lemniscate of Bernoulli, Booth lemniscate in the right-half of the complex plane, various interesting subclasses of starlike and convex functions can be obtained. For
, we denote by
and by
the class of
Janowski starlike functions and
Janowski convex functions, defined by
and:
respectively.
Motivated by the definition of -pseudo-starlike functions and unified subordination condition, we now introduce the following the class of functions:
Definition 1. For , , , , and defined as in (
4)
, we say that the function f belongs to the class if it satisfies the subordination condition:where “≺” denotes subordination, , and is the convex domain, while ψ which has a power series expansion of the form:with for all . Remark 1. Since for all , we note that the function is analytic in and can be expressed in power series in . In the above definition, the function ψ is assumed to be convex since most of our main results require that the superordinate function should be convex. However, we showed some applications where this condition could be relaxed.
Definition 2. For , , , , and defined as in (
4)
, we say that the function f belongs to the class if it satisfies the subordination condition:where , , satisfies the condition for all . Remark 2. Since , , and , , it follows that the circular transform maps the unit disc onto the disc with diameter and symmetric with respect to the real axes. Therefore, the above assumption , , holds if and only if: We also note that under this assumption, the function is analytic in hence it can be expressed in power series in .
Remark 3. Several well-known classes can be seen as special cases of the class defined above (see also [9,10,11]). Now, we highlight only the recent works which are associated with a conic region: - (i)
If , , , and choosing , the class reduces to the class introduced and studied by Malik et al. [12]. - (ii)
It can be easily seen that with the choice of , we get:where is the class recently introduced and studied in [13]. Note that the function is starlike but not convex in .
Remark that, by the definition of the subordination, a function
is said to be in
if and only if there exists a function
w analytic in
, with
, and
for all
, such that:
where
.
2. Preliminaries
In this section, we state the results that would be used to establish our main results which can be found in the standard text on univalent functions theory.
Lemma 1 ([
14] (p. 56))
. If the function given by (
1)
and g given byare inverse functions, then the coefficients , for , are given by Remark 4. The elements of the above determinant (
10)
are given by Lemma 2 ([
7] (p. 41))
. If , then for all , and the inequality is sharp for , . Lemma 3 ([
8])
. If , and v is a complex number, then:and the result is sharp for the functions: Lemma 4 ([
15] (Theorem VII))
. Let be analytic in and be analytic and convex in . If , then for . Lemma 5 ([
6] (Theorem 3.6.1))
. Let the function q be univalent in the open unit disc and θ and ϕ be analytic in a domain D containing with when . Set , . Suppose that:- 1.
Q is starlike univalent in , and
- 2.
.
If:then and q is the best dominant. 3. Conditions for Starlikeness Using Subordination
In [
6], the author presented new results in the theory of differential subordination with detailed proof. Motivated by the results presented in Chapter 4 of [
6], we obtained the following result:
Theorem 1. Let the function be chosen such that the function:is convex univalent in , with: If the function satisfies the conditions:then:where , implies . Moreover, the function g is the best dominant of the left-hand side of (
5).
Proof. If we define the function
p by
then we form the assumptions (
12) and (13), from which it follows that
p is analytic in
. By a straight forward computation, we have:
and thus, the subordination (
14) is equivalent to:
Setting:
then
and
are analytic functions in
, with
. Therefore:
and:
and using the fact that
g is a convex univalent function in
, it follows that:
hence,
Q is a starlike univalent function in
. Furthermore, the convexity of
g together with the assumption (
11) implies:
Since both of the conditions of Lemma 5 are satisfied, it follows that (
15) implies
, and
g is the best dominant of
p, which prove our conclusions. □
Similar subordination conditions can be established for the class , and here we choose to omit the details of the proof.
Theorem 2. Let the function , , be chosen such that the function:is convex univalent in , with: If the function satisfies the conditions:then:where , implies . Moreover, the function g is the best dominant of the left-hand side of (
7).
Theorem 3. If the function satisfies the conditions:then:where:implies:and this result is sharp. Proof. If we define the functions:
then
p is analytic in
, and
g is a convex univalent function in
with
,
. Proceeding as in the proof of Theorem 1, we can establish the assertion of the Theorem 3. □
If we let , and , , in the Theorem 3, we obtain the next result:
Corollary 1 ([
16] (Theorem 1))
. If the function satisfies the condition , , thenwhere:implies . For
and
, the function
k of Corollary 1 becomes
. If
,
, we get:
thus, it follows that:
According to the result of Corollary 1, in this present case, it follows that
. On summarizing, we obtain the following sufficient condition for starlikeness obtained by Mocanu and Oros in [
17]:
Example 1. If the function satisfies the condition , , and:then: For
and
, the function
k of Corollary 1 becomes
. If
,
, we get:
Denoting:
and using the fact that
it follows that:
That is, is the domain of bounded by the parabola that contains the point .
Therefore, according to the result of Corollary 1, we have the following result:
Example 2 ([
17])
. If the function satisfies the condition , , and:then: Corollary 2. If the function satisfies the conditions:then:where and implies: Proof. If we let
and
, with
, in Theorem 3, then
. For
, we get:
Since , from the above inequality, it follows that and the result follows from the Theorem 3. □
Letting , and in Corollary 2, we have the next special case:
Example 3. (see Corollary 4.3.2. in [6]) If the function satisfies the condition , , then:where and , implies: For , the Example 3 reduces to the following result:
Example 4 ([
6] (Example 4.3.1))
. If , then: 4. Coefficients Estimates For the Functions of and
The class of all the functions of the class are not univalent, so the inverse is not guaranteed. However, since for all and , there exists an inverse function in some small disk with a center at depending on the parameters involved.
Hereafter, unless otherwise mentioned

and
. Additionally, let
defined by
,
be the inverse of
f and:
Furthermore, let
be the respective coefficients of
in the power series expansion of
h, as it appeared in the definition formula (
4).
Theorem 4. If the function f given by (
1)
and g given by (
9)
are inverse functions and if , then for the coefficients of , we have:and:with: Proof. If
, then by the definition of subordination, there exists a function
w analytic in
, with
and
,
, such that:
Thus, let
be of the form:
and defined by
A simple computation shows that:
and considering:
we have:
The left hand side of (
19) will be of the form:
where
are the corresponding coefficients from the power series expansion of
h, which may be real or complex.
From (
19) and (
20), we obtain:
and:
From (
10), we see that
, and applying Lemma 2 for (
21), we obtain the inequality (
16).
In addition, from (
10), we have:
and using Lemma 2, we get (
17), with
given by (
18). □
Using a similar proof, we established the corresponding result for the class :
Theorem 5. If the function f given by (
1)
and g given by (
9)
are inverse functions and if , then for the coefficients of we have:and:with: Theorem 6. If the function f given by (
1)
and g given by (
9)
are inverse functions, and we let satisfy the inequality:where: Then for the coefficients of the inverse function , where f satisfies the assumption (
23)
, we have:and: Proof. From the equivalent subordination condition proved by Kuroki and Owa in [
3], we may rewrite the conditions (
23) in the following form:
that is equivalent to:
i.e.,
. Furthermore, we note that the function
given by
maps the open unit disk
onto a convex domain and is of the form:
where
,
. Substituting the values of
and
in Theorem 4, we obtain the assertion of our theorem. □
If we let

and
in Theorem 6, we obtain the result obtained by Sim and Kwon [
18]:
Corollary 3 ([
18] (Corollary 1))
. If the function f given by (
1)
and g given by (
9)
are inverse functions and if , with , is defined by (
2)
, then:and: The impact of the well-known Janowski function:
was recently studied by Malik et al. [
12]. Following the same steps as in Theorem 1 of [
19], we obtain:
Replacing the values of
,
and
of Theorem 4 with the corresponding coefficients of the power series (
26), we obtain the next result:
Theorem 7. If the function f given by (
1)
and g given by (
9)
are inverse functions and if , with defined as in (
25)
, then for the coefficients of , we have:and: If we let , and , , in Theorem 7, we obtain the following result:
Corollary 4 ([
12] (Theorem 4))
. If the function f given by (
1)
and g given by (
9)
are inverse functions and if , with defined as in (
25)
, then for the coefficients of , we have: We need the following result to establish the coefficient estimate of the classes and .
Lemma 6. Let the function be convex in where the function ψ is defined as in (
6).
If is analytic in and satisfies the subordination condition:then: Proof. If the function
has the power series expansion (
6), then:
Since the subordination relation is invariant regarding a translation, the assumption (
27) is equivalent to:
In addition, because the convexity of
implies the convexity of
, from Lemma 4, it follows the conclusion (
28): □
Theorem 8. Let . Then:and:for . Proof. By the definition of

and satisfies the subordination condition:
. The relation (
29) can be rewritten as
and equating the coefficient of
, we get:
for
, and for
we have:
It follows that:
and using (
28) in the above inequality, it follows that:
which proves our conclusions. □
For the proof of the next result, we will use the well-known
Parseval’s identity (see also [
20] (Theorem 15, p. 505)): if
F and
G are two square-integrable complex functions on the interval
, with Fourier series
and
, then:
Theorem 9. Let , that is the class given by Definition 2 for and , then:and for we have: Proof. From (
8), we have:
hence:
We will use the technique employed by Clunie which consists of breaking the summation on the right side into two parts which are
and
, and to observe that the multiplication by
,
,
, of the second sum gives terms with exponents that exceeds
j.
Rearranging the last summation, we can write:
therefore:
The second series on the left hand side of the above equation is given by
which is obviously convergent in
. If we let
,
, since
,
, and applying Parseval’s formula on the both sides of the above relation, then by letting
we obtain:
For
, from (
31) it follows that:
For
, from (
31) we obtain:
Now, substituting in the right hand side of the above relation, the value of
with its majorant given by (
32), we have:
that implies:
Therefore, (
30) is true for
. Following the same steps as in [
21], we can prove the assertion (
30) of our theorem: □
If we take , , , , and in Theorem 9, we obtain the following result:

Example 5 ([
23] (Theorem 1))
. If satisfy the inequality:with , then:The coefficient estimates of (33) are sharp. Remark 5. Several well-known results can be obtained as the special case of Theorems 8 and 9, and we refer to the papers [21,24] in addition to the references provided therein. 5. Solution to Fekete–Szegő Problem for the Functions of and
We will give the solution of the Fekete–Szegő problem for the functions that belong to the classes we defined in the first section.

41). □
6. Conclusions
By defining -pseudo-Bazilevič functions of complex order using subordination and Hadamard product, we were able to unify and extend the various classes of analytic function, and new extensions were discussed in detail. Furthermore, by replacing the ordinary differentiation with quantum differentiation, we attempted the discretization of some well-known results. Our main results have many applications, which here we only pointed out a few.
