R. Kulkarni Abstract. For certain univalent function f , we study a class of functions f as defined by making use of the generalized Ruscheweyh derivatives involving a general fractional derivative operator, satisfying z(J1λ,µ f (z))0 Re > β. (1 − γ)J1λ,µ f (z) + γz 2 (J1λ,µ f (z))00 ( ) A necessary and sufficient condition for a function to be in the class Aλ,µ,ν (n, β) is obtained. γ In addition, our paper includes distortion theorem, radii of starlikeness, convexity and close-toconvexity, extreme points. Also, we get some results in this paper. 1 Introduction Let Ω denote the class of functions which are analytic in the unit disk U = {z ∈ C : |z| < 1} and let A(n) denote the subclass of Ω consisting of functions of the form: f (z) = z − ∞ X ak z k , (ak ≥ 0, n ∈ IN ), (1.1) k=n+1 where f (z) is analytic and univalent in the unit disk U . Then the function f (z) ∈ A(n) is said to be in the class S(n, α), if and only if 0 zf (z) Re > α , (z ∈ U, 0 ≤ α < 1). (1.2) f (z) A function f (z) ∈ S(n, α) is called starlike function of order α. A function f (z) ∈ A(n) is said to be in the class C(n, α) if and only if zf 00 (z) Re 1 + 0 > α, (z ∈ U, 0 ≤ α < 1). (1.3) f (z) 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 30C45.

Atshan and S. R. Kulkarni A function f (z) ∈ C(n, α) is called convex function of order α. It is observed that f (z) ∈ C(n, α) if and only if zf 0 (z) ∈ S(n, α) ∀ n ∈ IN [2]. (1.4) A function f (z) ∈ A(n) is said to be in the class K(n, α) if there is a convex function g(z) such that 0 f (z) > α, (∀ z ∈ U, 0 ≤ α < 1). (1.5) Re g 0 (z) A function f (z) ∈ K(n, α) is called close-to-convex of order α. We shall need the fractional derivative operator ([10], [11]) in this paper. Let a, b, c ∈ C with C 6= 0, −1, −2, · · · . The Gaussian hypergeometric function F 2 1 is defined by 2 F1 (z) ≡ 2 F1 (a, b; c; z) = ∞ X (a)n (b)n z n n=0 (c)n n! , (1.6) where (λ)n is the pochhammer symbol defined, in terms of the Gamma function, by Γ(λ + n) 1 (n = 0) = (λ)n = λ(λ + 1) · · · (λ + n − 1) (n ∈ IN ) Γ(λ) Definition 1. Let 0 ≤ λ < 1 and µ, ν ∈ IR. Then, in terms of familiar (Gauss’s) λ,µ,ν hypergeometric function 2 F1 , the generalized fractional derivative operator J0,z of a function f (z) is defined by: λ−µ R z 1 d −λ f (E) · F (µ − λ, 1 − ν; 1 − λ; 1 − E )dE 2 1 Γ(1−λ) dz z z 0 (z − E) λ,µ,ν f (z) = J0,z (0 ≤ λ < 1) dn J λ−n,µ,ν f (z), (n ≤ λ < n + 1, n ∈ IN ) dz n 0,z (1.7) where the function f (z) is analytic in a simply-connected region of the z-plane containing the origin, with the order f (z) = O(|z| ), (z → 0), (1.8) for > max{0, µ − ν} − 1, and the multiplicity of (z − E)−λ is removed by requiring log(z − E) to be real, when z − E > 0. The fractional derivative of order λ of a function f (z) is defined by Z z 1 d f (E) Dzλ {f (z)} = dE, 0 ≤ λ < 1, (1.9) Γ(1 − λ) dz 0 (z − E)λ where f (z) it is chosen as in (1.7), and the multiplicity of (z − E)−λ is removed by requiring log(z − E) to be real, when z − E > 0. ****************************************************************************** Surveys in Mathematics and its Applications 5 (2010), 35 – 47 http://www.utgjiu.ro/math/sma 37 Some applications of generalized Ruscheweyh derivatives By comparing (e1.7) with (1.9), we find λ,λ,ν J0,z f (z) = Dzλ {f (z)}, (0 ≤ λ < 1). (1.10) In terms of gamma function, we have λ,µ,ν k J0,z z = Γ(k + 1)Γ(1 − µ + ν + k) z k−µ , Γ(1 − µ + k)Γ(1 − λ + ν + k) (0 ≤ λ < 1, µ, ν ∈ IR and (1.11) k > max{0, µ − ν} − 1). Definition 2. Let f (z) ∈ A(n) be given by (1.1). Then the class Aλ,µ,ν (n, β) is γ defined by ( ( ) z(J1λ,µ f (z))0 λ,µ,ν Aγ (n, β) = f ∈ A(n) : Re > β, (1 − γ)J1λ,µ f (z) + γz 2 (J1λ,µ f (z))00 (z ∈ U, 0 ≤ γ < 1, n ∈ IN ; 0 ≤ β < 1; λ > −1)} , (1.12) where J1λ,µ f is a generalized Ruscheweyh derivative defined by Goyal and Goyal [3, p. 442] as Γ(µ − λ + ν + 2) λ,µ,ν µ−1 (z f (z)) zJ Γ(ν + 2)Γ(µ + 1) 0,z ∞ X = z− ak C1λ,µ (k)z k , J1λ,µ f (z) = (1.13) (1.14) k=n+1 where C1λ,µ (k) = Γ(k + µ)Γ(ν + 2 + µ − λ)Γ(k + ν + 1) . Γ(k)Γ(k + ν + 1 + µ − λ)Γ(ν + 2)Γ(1 + µ) (1.15) For µ = λ = α, ν = 1, the generalized Ruscheweyh derivatives reduces to ordinary Ruscheweyh derivatives of f (z) of order α [7]: Dα f (z) = ∞ X z Dα (z α−1 f (z)) = z − ak Ck (α)z k , Γ(α + 1) (1.16) k=n+1 where Ck (α) = (α + 1)(α + 2) · · · (α + k − 1) . (k − 1)! (1.17) The class Aλ,µ,ν (n, β) contains many well-known classes of analytic functions, for γ example: (i) If µ = λ = α, ν = 1, n = 1, we get the class Aλ,λ,1 (1, β) was studied by Tehranchi γ and Kulkarni [12]. ****************************************************************************** Surveys in Mathematics and its Applications 5 (2010), 35 – 47 http://www.utgjiu.ro/math/sma 38 W. G. Atshan and S. R. Kulkarni (ii) If µ = λ = 0, ν = 1, α = β, γ = 0, we get the class of starlike function of order α, (S(n, α)). The same properties have been found for other classes in [4], [8] and [9]. Lemma 3. Let w = u + iν, then Re w ≥ β if and only if |w − (1 + β)| ≤ |w + (1 − β)|. Definition 4. Let f, h be analytic in U . Then h is said to be subordinate to f , written h ≺ f , if there exist function w that is analytic in U with |w(z)| < 1 in U and h(z) = f (w(z)) in U for some analytic function w with w(0) = 0 and |w(z)| ≤ |z| in U . If w is not merely a rotation of the disk (that is, if |w(z)| < |z|), then h is said to be properly subordinate to f . 2 Main Results The following theorem gives a necessary and sufficient condition for function to be (n, β). in Aλ,µ,ν γ (n, β) if and only if Theorem 5.
