Convolution operators in the geometric function theory (Q385872)

Let \(\mathcal{A}=\{f(z) = z+a_2z^2+\dots: |z| <1\}\). For \(f,g\in \mathcal{A}\) (\(g(z) = z+ b_2z^2 +\dots\)) the Hadamard product \(f*g\) is defined as \[ (f*g)(z) = z+a_2b_2z^2+\dots . \] The Hadamard product maps \(\mathcal{A}\times \mathcal{A}\) into \(\mathcal{A}\). In this survey article the authors present several differential and integral operators defined on a class \(\mathcal{A}\), starting from basic Alexander differential and Alexander integral to rather complicated ones such as the Dziok-Srivastava differential operator [\textit{J. Dziok} and \textit{H. M. Srivastava}, Appl. Math. Comput. 103, No. 1, (1999; Zbl 0937.30010)] and Choi-Saigo-Srivastava integral operator [\textit{J. H. Choi} et al., J. Math. Anal. Appl. 276, No. 1, 432--445 (2002; Zbl 1035.30004)], respectively. Some examples are shown below: \[ \mathcal{I}_0(f) = zf'(z) = \frac{z}{(1-z)^2}*f(z)\quad (\text{Alexander\;differential}), \] \[ \mathcal{I}_2(f)=\int\limits_0^z\frac{F(\zeta)}{\zeta}d\zeta = -\log(1-z)*f(z)\quad (\text{Alexander\;integral}), \] \[ \begin{multlined}{} _qH_s(\alpha_1,\dots,\alpha_q;\beta_1,\dots,\beta_s)f(z) = z\;_qF_s(\alpha_1,\dots,\alpha_q;\beta_1,\dots,\beta_s;z)*f(z)\\ (\text{Dziok-Srivastava\;differential}),\end{multlined} \] with \(q,s \in \mathbb{N}_0,\;q\leq s+1\), and \(z\;_qF_s(\alpha;\beta;z)\) is a generalized hypergeometric function, given by \[ z\;_qF_s(\alpha;\beta;z)=\sum\limits_{n=0}^\infty\frac{(\alpha_1)_n\cdot \dots\cdot (\alpha_q)_n} {(\beta_1)_n\cdot \dots \cdot (\beta_q)_n}z^n, \] \[ \mathcal{I}_{\lambda,\mu}f = \;_2F_1(\mu,1,\lambda+1;z)*f(z)\quad (\text{Choi-Saigo-Srivastava\;integral\;operator}), \] \[ D_\lambda^{n,\alpha} = \underbrace{\left\{z\;_2F_1(2,1,2-\alpha;z)*g_\lambda(z)*\cdots *z\;_2F_1(2,1,2-\alpha;z)*g_\lambda(z)\right\}}_{n\text{ times}}*f(z) \] \[ = \left[z\;_2F_1(2,1,2-\alpha;z)*g_\lambda(z)\right]^{(n*)}\quad (\text{multiplier\;fractional\;differential\;operator}). \] Many other operators defined by convolution (such as Libera, Bernardi, Ruscheweyh, Noor [\textit{K. I. Noor}, J. Nat. Geom. 16, No. 1--2, 71--80 (1999; Zbl 0942.30007); \textit{B. C. Carlson} and \textit{D. B. Shaffer}, SIAM J. Math. Anal. 15, 737--745 (1984; Zbl 0567.30009); \textit{Y. E. Hohlov}, PLISKA, Stud. Math. Bulg. 10, 87--92 (1989; Zbl 0829.30007)], and others), are presented. The survey underlines the role and strength of the Hadamard product in geometric function theory.
