Integral transforms of functions to be in a class of analytic functions using duality techniques (Q2338822)

Summary: Let \(W_\beta(\alpha,\gamma)\), \(\beta<1\), denote the class of all normalized analytic functions \(f\) in the unit disc \(\mathbb D=\{z\in\mathbb C:| z|<1\}\) such that \[ \text{Re\,}\big(e^{i\phi}\big((1-\alpha+2\gamma)(f/z)+(\alpha-2\gamma)f'+\gamma zf''-\beta\big)\big)>0,\quad z\in\mathbb D, \] for some \(\phi\in\mathbb R\), \(\alpha\geq 0\), \(\gamma\geq 0\), and \(\beta<1\). Let \(M(\xi)\), \(0\leq \xi\leq 1\), denote the Pascu class of \(\xi\)-convex functions given by the analytic condition \[ \text{Re\,}\Big(\frac{\xi z(zf'(z))'+(1-\xi)zf'(z)}{\xi z f'(z)+1-\xi)f(z)}\Big)>0 \] which unifies the classes of starlike and convex functions. The aim of this paper is to find conditions on \(\lambda(t)\) so that the integral transform of the form \[ V_\lambda(f)(z)=\int_0^1\lambda(t)\frac{f(tz)}{t} dt \] carry functions from \(W_\beta(\alpha,\gamma)\) into \(M(\xi)\). As for the applications, for specific values of \(\lambda(t)\), it is found that several known integral operators carry functions from \(W_\beta(\alpha,\gamma)\) into \(M(\xi)\). The results for a more generalized operator related to \(V_\lambda(f)(z)\) are also given.
