On preserving the univalence integral operator Aisha Ahmed Amer and Maslina Darus Abstract. In this paper, the work deals with preserving the univalence of an integral operator defined by a generalized derivative operator. For this purpose, we introduce new generalized derivative operator and define an integral operator. It is shown that the univalence of an integral operator is preserved under certain sufficient conditions. M.S.C. 2010: 30C45. Key words: derivative operator; integral operator; univalence; sufficient conditions. 1 Introduction Let A denote the class of functions f in the open unit disk U = {z ∈ C : |z| < 1}, given by the normalized power series (1.1) f (z) = z + ∞ X ak z k (z ∈ U ), k=2 where ak is a complex number. Let S be the subclass of A consisting of univalent functions. For functions f given by (1.1) and g (z) = z + ∞ X bk z k , (z ∈ U ). k=2 Let (f ∗ g) denote the Hadamard product (convolution) of f and g, defined by: (f ∗ g) (z) = z + ∞ X ak bk z k . k=2 where (x)k denotes the Pochhammer symbol (or the shifted factorial) defined by: ( 1, for k = 0, x ∈ C\{0}, (x)k = x(x + 1)(x + 2)...(x + k − 1), for k ∈ N = {1, 2, 3, ...}. The authors in [2], have recently introduced a new generalized derivative operator I m (λ1 , λ2 , l, n)f (z) as follows: Applied Sciences, Vol.14, 2012, pp. 15-25. c Balkan Society of Geometers, Geometry Balkan Press 2012. ° 16 Aisha Ahmed Amer and Maslina Darus Definition 1.1. Let f ∈ A, then the generalized derivative operator is given by (1.2) I m (λ1 , λ2 , l, n)f (z) = z + ∞ X k=2 (1 + λ1 (k − 1) + l)m−1 c(n, k)ak z k , (1 + l)m−1 (1 + λ2 (k − 1))m where n, m ∈ N0 = {0, 1, 2, ...}, and λ2 ≥ λ1 ≥ 0, l ≥ 0, c(n, k) = (n+1)k−1 (1)k−1 . By using the generalized derivative operator I m (λ1 , λ2 , l, n)f (z), we introduce the following integral operator: Definition 1.2. Let n, m ∈ N0 = {0, 1, 2, ...}, λ2 ≥ λ1 ≥ 0, l ≥ 0, c(n, k) = and let αi ∈ C, let also β ∈ C with <(β) > 0. (n+1)k−1 (1)k−1 , We define the integral operator: Dβm (λ1 , λ2 , l, n)(f1 , ..., fs )(z) : As −→ A, (1.3) Dβm (λ1 , λ2 , l, n)(f1 , ..., fs )(z) à Z = β z β−1 t 0 ¶α s µ m Y I (λ1 , λ2 , l, n)fi (t) i t i=1 ! β1 dt , where I m (λ1 , λ2 , l, n) is the generalized derivative operator. k−1 Remark 1.3. (i) For n, m ∈ N0 = {0, 1, 2, ...}, λ2 ≥ λ1 ≥ 0, l ≥ 0, c(n, k) = (n+1) (1)k−1 , 1 and αi ∈ C, let also β ∈ C with <(β) > 0, and let I (λ1 , 0, l, 0)fi (z) = fi (z) ∈ S, (i ∈ 1, ..., s). We have the integral operator à Z Dβ (f1 , ..., fs )(z) = β z t β−1 0 ¶α s µ Y fi (t) i t i=1 ! β1 dt , which was introduced in [3]. k−1 (ii) For n, m ∈ N0 = {0, 1, 2, ...}, λ2 ≥ λ1 ≥ 0, l ≥ 0, c(n, k) = (n+1) (1)k−1 , and αi ∈ C, let also β = 1, and I 1 (λ1 , 0, l, 0)fi (z) = fi (z) ∈ S, (i ∈ 1, ..., s). We have the integral operator ¶α Z zY s µ fi (t) i I(f1 , ..., fs )(z) = dt, t 0 i=1 which was introduced in [3]. k−1 (iii) For n, m ∈ N0 = {0, 1, 2, ...}, λ2 ≥ λ1 ≥ 0, l ≥ 0, c(n, k) = (n+1) (1)k−1 , and αi ∈ C, m+1 m let also β = 1, and I (λ1 , 0, 0, 0)fi (z) = D fi (z), (i ∈ 1, ..., n), where Dm is the generalized Salagean derivative operator. The integral operator is as follows: Z m I (f1 , ..., fs )(z) = z ¶α s µ m Y D fi (t) i 0 i=1 which was studied in [4]. t dt, On preserving the univalence integral operator 17 (iv) For α1 = 1, α2 = α3 = ... = αs = 0, let also β = 1, and I 1 (λ1 , 0, l, 0)f (z) = f (z) ∈ S. We have Alexander integral operator Z z f (t) I(f )(z) = dt, t 0 which was introduced in [1]. (v) For α1 = α ∈ [0, 1], α2 = α3 = ... = αs = 0 and αi ∈ C, let also β ∈ C with <(β) > 0. and I 1 (λ1 , 0, l, 0)f1 (z) = f1 (z) ∈ S, (i ∈ 1, ..., s). We have the integral operator ¶α Z zµ f (t) dt, I(f )(z) = t 0 which was introduced in [5]. To discuss our problems, we have to recall here the following results. General Schwarz Lemma[6]. Let the function f be regular in the disk UR = {z ∈ C : |z| < R}, with |f (z)| < M for fixed M. If f has one zero with multiplicity order bigger than m for z = 0, then M |f (z)| ≤ m |z|m , (z ∈ UR ). R The equality can hold only if, f (z) = eiθ ( M m )z , Rm where θ is constant. Lemma 1.1. [7] Let f ∈ A, and α be a complex number with <(α) > 0. If f satisfies ¯ ¯ 1 − |z|2<(α) ¯¯ zf 00 (z) ¯¯ ¯ f 0 (z) ¯ ≤ 1, <(α) then for all z ∈ U , the integral operator ½ Z Fα (z) = α z ¾ α1 tα−1 f 0 (t)dt , 0 is in the class S. Lemma 1.2. [8] Let f ∈ A, and α be a complex number with <(α) > 0. If f satisfies ¯ ¯ 1 − |z|2<(α) ¯¯ zf 00 (z) ¯¯ ¯ f 0 (z) ¯ ≤ 1, <(α) then for any complex number β ∈ C where <(β) ≥ <(α), the integral operator ½ Z z ¾ β1 Fβ (z) = β tβ−1 f 0 (t)dt , 0 is in the class S. 18 Aisha Ahmed Amer and Maslina Darus Lemma 1.3. [9] Let f ∈ A and β, c ∈ C where <(β) > 0 and (|c| ≤ 1, ¯ ¯ 00 ¯ 2β ¯ ¯c|z| + (1 − |z|2 β) zf (z) ¯ ≤ 1, ¯ 0 βf (z) ¯ c 6= −1). If for all z ∈ U, then the function · Z Fβ (z) = β z t ¸ β1 f (t)dt , β−1 0 0 is analytic and univalent in U. 2 Main results Theorem 2.1. Let α1 , ..., αs , β ∈ C and each of the functions fi ∈ A(i ∈ 1, ..., s).

Proof. Since fi ∈ A (i ∈ 1, ..., s). by (1.2), we get ∞ X (1 + λ1 (k − 1) + l)m−1 I m (λ1 , λ2 , l, n)fi (z) =1+ c(n, k)ak z k−1 , z (1 + l)m−1 (1 + λ2 (k − 1))m k=2 and I m (λ1 , λ2 , l, n)fi (z) 6= 0, z for all z ∈ U. ¤ Let us define Z h(z) = z ¶α s µ m Y I (λ1 , λ2 , l, n)fi (z) i t 0 i=1 dt, so that, obviously, µ h0 (z) = I m (λ1 , λ2 , l, n)fi (z) z ¶α1 µ ... I m (λ1 , λ2 , l, n)fi (z) z ¶αs , for all z ∈ U. This equality implies that lnh0 (z) = α1 ln I m (λ1 , λ2 , l, n)fi (z) I m (λ1 , λ2 , l, n)fi (z) + ... + αs ln . z z On preserving the univalence integral operator 19 By differentiating the above equality, we get · m ¸ s h00 (z) X (I (λ1 , λ2 , l, n)fi (z))0 1 = αi − . h0 (z) I m (λ1 , λ2 , l, n) z i=1 Hence, we obtain from this equality that ¯ 00 ¯ X ¯ ¯ s ¯ zh (z) ¯ ¯ z(I m (λ1 , λ2 , l, n)fi (z))0 ¯ ¯ ¯≤ ¯ |αi | ¯ m − 1¯¯ . ¯ h0 (z) ¯ I (λ1 , λ2 , l, n)fi (z) i=1 So by the conditions of Theorem 2.1, we find ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ s ¯ z(I m (λ1 , λ2 , l, n)fi (z))0 ¯ 1 − |z|2<(β) ¯¯ zh00 (z) ¯¯ 1 − |z|2<(β) X ¯ ¯ ≤ − 1 |α | i ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ 0 m <(β) h (z) <(β) I (λ1 , λ2 , l, n)fi (z) i=1 s 1 X ≤ |αi | ≤ 1. <(β) i=1 Finally, applying Lemma 1.1 for the function h(z), we prove that Dβm (λ1 , λ2 , l, n)(f1 , ..., fs )(z) ∈ S. Remark 2.1. If we set β = 1 and λ2 = l = n = 0 in Theorem 2.1, then we have Theorem 2.3 in [4]. Corollary 2.2. Let αi > 0, β ∈ C, and each of the functions fi ∈ A(i ∈ {1, ..., s}).
