1. Introduction
Geometric function theory’s primary research objective is to introduce new classes of analytic functions and to explore their geometric shapes. There are many classes of analytic functions in the open unit disk, such as normalized, multivalent, harmonic and meromorphic functions, formulating different geometric processes. These processes present a derivative, integral or convolution operationally—for example, the Salagean differential operator [
1] and its generalizations [
2,
3], conformabale differential operator [
4] and symmetric differential operator [
5]. Recently, fractional differential and integral operators have been utilized to formulate various types of generalizations of analytic functions. The most popular fractional operators are Riemann–Liouville fractional differential and integral operators. These operators were extended to the complex plane by Owa and Srivastava [
6] and generalized for 2D-parametric fractional power in [
7,
8].
The most significant embellishment of geometric classes is accomplished by the use of the subordination notion [
9]. Such a presentation, for the first time, is given by Ma and Minda [
10] for the class of normalized functions
They have introduced the starlikeness and convexity sub-classes. These classes were modified later considering other collection of analytic functions, generalized by assuming any types of differential or integral operators and extended including fractional operators in the open unit disk (see [
11,
12,
13,
14,
15,
16]). In our investigation, we formulate the suggested class using the Ma-Minda-Janowski inequality. The descried classes are based on starlike and bounded turning functions.
In this study, we aim to present two new classes of multivalent analytic function types based on the generalized fractional differential operator. We shall show that the suggested fractional differential operator belongs to the same class of multivalent functions under a suitable process. Furthermore, by the Noshiro–Warschawski and Kaplan theorems, we show that the new operator is bounded turning in the open unit disk. Our method is based on the differential subordination theory. The suggested classes are of the starlike and bounded formula in the open unit disk. We present the sufficient and necessary conditions to be in these classes. As a special case, we study a Janowski formula geometrically, where this class indicates the extreme class of analytic functions. Moreover, we introduce different studies of these classes, including a set of differential inequalities. The conditions of a sandwich inequality are illustrated.

4. Conclusions
A fractional differential operator in the open unit disk is presented for multivalent analytic functions. We formulated the modified operator in two sub-classes of analytic functions and studied the geometric behavior. Differential inequalities are presented using the theory of subordination and superordination. Our main result is given in Theorem 3, where the conditions of the sandwich inequality are presented. Moreover, Theorem 4 showed the convex combination of the differential operator and its corresponding integral, which are dominated by which is dominated by the same analytic function .
