Introduction For any integer m > 1 − p, let f (z) = z (1.1) −p P + p,m ∞ X be the class of functions of the form: ak z k (p ∈ N = {1, 2, . . . }), k=m ∗ which are analytic and p-valent in the Ppunctured Punit disk U = {z ∈ C : 0 < |z| < 1} = U \ {0}. We also denote p,1−p = p . For 0 5 α < p, we denote by P P P P S (p; α), K (p; α) and C (p; α), the subclasses of p consisting of all meromorphic functions which are, respectively, p-valently starlike of order α, p-valently convex of order α and p-valently close-to-convex of order α. If f and g are analytic in U, we say that f is subordinate to g, written f ≺ g or (more precisely) f (z) ≺ g(z) z ∈ U, if there exists a function ω, analytic in U with ω(0) = 0 and |ω(z)| < 1 such that f (z) = g(ω(z)), z ∈ U. In particular, if g is univalent in U, then we have the following equivalence: f (z) ≺ g(z) (z ∈ U) ⇐⇒ f (0) = g(0) and f (U) ⊂ g(U). P P For a function f ∈ , given by (1.1) and g ∈ p,m p,m defined by g(z) = P∞ −p k z + k=m bk z , we define the Hadamard product (or convolution) of f and g by f (z) ∗ g(z) = (f ∗ g)(z) = z −p + ∞ X Jagannath Patel and Ashis Ku.
