A certain subclass of analytic functions associated with operators of fractional calculus (Q1352752)

Let \({\mathcal F} (n)\) denote the class of functions of the form: \(f(z)=z+ \sum_{k=n +1}^\infty a_kz^k\) \((a_k\geq 0; n\in\mathbb{N})\), which are analytic in the open unit disk. The authors consider the subclass \(S_{\lambda,\mu,\eta} (n,\sigma,\alpha)\) of functions in \({\mathcal F} (n)\) which also satisfy the following inequality: \[ \text{Re}\Bigl[\varphi_1 (\lambda,\mu,\eta) z^{\mu-1} \Bigl((1-\sigma) J_{0,z}^{\lambda, \mu,\eta} f(z)+\sigma zJ_{0,z}^{\lambda+1, \mu+1, \eta+1} f(z) \Bigr)\Bigr] >\alpha \] \[ (0\leq\lambda <1;\;0\leq\alpha <1;\;0\leq\sigma \leq 1;\;\mu,\eta\in \mathbb{R};\;\mu<2;\;\lambda- \eta<2;\;\mu-\eta<2), \] where \(\varphi_m (\lambda,\mu,\eta) =\Gamma(1-\mu+m) \Gamma(1+\eta- \lambda+m)/ \Gamma(1+m ) \Gamma(1+\eta- \mu+m)\) and \(J_{0,z}^{\lambda, \mu,\eta}\) is a certain fractional derivative operator defined in terms of the Gauss hypergeometric function \(_2F_1\) [see \textit{H. M. Srivastava}, \textit{M. Saigo} and \textit{S. Owa}, J. Math. Anal., Appl. 131, 412-420 (1988; Zbl 0628.30014)]. In this paper, some results connected with the new class \(S_{\lambda\mu,\eta} (n,\sigma,\alpha)\) of functions, including the characterization property, the radii of close-to-convexity, starlikeness, convexity and distortion inequalities, are obtained.
