Subclasses of \(\alpha\)-spirallike functions associated with Ruscheweyh derivatives (Q2468961)

Making use of the Ruscheweyh derivatives \({ D^{n}f(z)=\frac{z}{(1-z)^{n+1}}\ast f(z)}\), for \(f\in A\) and \(n\in N_{0}\), the authors introduce the subclasses \(T(n,\alpha ,\lambda )\), \(n\in \{0,1,2,3, \dots \}\), \(-\frac{\pi}{2}< \alpha < \frac{\pi}{2}\), \(0\leq \lambda \leq \cos^{2} \alpha\), of functions \(f(z)=z+{ \sum_{k=2}^{\infty} a_{k}z^{k}}\) which are analytic in \(| z| <1\) and \[ { \left ( Re \left\{ e^{i\alpha}\frac{z(D^{n}f(z))^{\prime}}{D^{n}f(z)}\right\} \right )^{2}+\lambda > \left | \frac{z(D^{n}f(z))^{\prime}}{D^{n}f(z)} -1\right | ^{2}}\, . \] For the functions belonging to the class \(T(n,\alpha ,\lambda )\), the authors obtain subordination relations, inclusion relations, convolution property and the radius of \(\alpha\)-spirallikeness of order \(\rho\).
