Assume that \(h\) is convex, \(B\) is analytic such that \(\text{Re} B(z)\geq 0\) and \(\phi\) is starlike. Suppose that \(p\) is analytic with \(p(0)=q(0)\). Then we have the following two important results from the theory of differential subordination in the unit disc: \[ p(z) +B(z)zp'(z) \prec h(z) \quad \text{implies} \quad p(z)\prec h(z), \] and \[ {zp'(z) \over p(z)} \prec {zq'(z) \over q(z)}=\phi (z) \quad \text{implies} \quad p(z)\prec \phi (z). \] The author has used these two results to prove inclusion theorems related to a certain linear operator \(L_p(a,c)f(z)\) defined by the Hadamard product \(L_p(a,c)=z^p{}_2F_1(1,a;c;z)*z^pf(z),\) where \(f(z)\) is an analytic function with \(f(0)=1\) and \({}_2F_1(1,a;c;z)\) denotes the Gaussian hypergeometric function. Theorem 1 of this paper shows that if \(\text{Re } (L_p(a+1,c)g/ L_p(a,c)g)>0\) for some analytic function \(g\) with \(g(0)=1\) then one has \[ (1-\lambda ){L_p(a,c)f\over L_p(a,c)g} +\lambda {L_p(a+1,c)f\over L_p(a+1,c)g} \prec h(z) \quad \text{implies} \quad {L_p(a,c)f\over L_p(a,c)g} \prec \phi (z) \] where \(\lambda \geq 0.\)
