A class of distortion theorems involving certain operators of fractional calculus (Q1093034): Difference between revisions

The object of the present paper is to investigate a general class of fractional integral operators involving the Gauss hypergeometric function. Several interesting distortion theorems for various subclasses of analytic and univalent functions are proved in terms of the operators of fractional calculus. Some special cases of the results presented here are also indicated. The general class of fractional integral operators investigated in this paper provides a unification of the operators studied earlier by \textit{S. Owa} [Kyungpook Math. J. 18, 53-59 (1978; Zbl 0401.30009)], \textit{H. M. Srivastava} and \textit{S. Owa} [Math. Japon. 29, 383-389 (1984; Zbl 0522.30011)], \textit{M. Saigo} [Math. Rep. College General Ed. Kyushu Univ. 11, 135-143 (1978)], and \textit{H. M. Srivastava} and \textit{M. Saigo} [J. Math. Anal. Appl. 121, 325-369 (1987)].
