On differential sandwich theorems of \(p\)-valent analytic functions defined by the integral operator (Q358399)

Let \(U\) be the complex unit disc, \[ H[a,p]=\{f:U\to\mathbb C, f(z)=a+a_pz^p+a_{p+1}z^{p+1}+\cdots, a\in\mathbb C, p\in\mathbb N, p\geq 1\}, \] let \(A(p)=\{f:U\to\mathbb C:f(z)=z^p+a_{p+1}z^{p+1}+\cdots, p\in\mathbb N\}\) and \(A:=A(1)\). For \(p\in\mathbb N\), \(n\in\mathbb N_0=\mathbb N\cup\{0\}\), \(\lambda>0\) and \(f\in A(p)\), the authors define the integral operator \[ I_{p,\lambda}^0f(z)=f(z) \] , and for \(n>0\), \[ \begin{multlined} I_{p,\lambda}^nf(z):=\frac{p}{\lambda}z^{p-\frac{p}{\lambda}}\int_0^zt^{\frac{p}{\lambda}-p-1}I_{p,\lambda}^{n-1}f(t)dt=\\ =z^p+\sum_{k=p+1}^\infty\left[\frac{p}{p+\lambda(k-p)}\right]^2a_kz^k=\\ =\underbrace{I_{p,\lambda}^1\left(\frac{z^p}{1-z}\right)*I_{p,\lambda}^1\left(\frac{z^p}{1-z}\right)*\cdots*I_{p,\lambda}^1\left(\frac{z^p}{1-z}\right)}_{\mathrm{ \(n\)-times}}*f(z)\end{multlined} \] where \(*\) stays for the Hadamard (convolution) product. The paper contains some subordination and superordination results involving the operator \(I_{p,\lambda}^n\).
