In the present paper, we consider a subclass of π-valent analytic functions and obtain certain simple sufficiency criteria by using three different methods for the functions belonging to this class. Many known results appear as special consequences of our work. Now we define the subclass Mπ (π, π; π(π§)) of π΄ π (π) by 1. Introduction Let π΄ π (π) be the class of functions π(π§) analytic and π-valent in the open unit disk U = {π§ : |π§| < 1} and of the form ∞ π (π§) = π§π + ∑ ππ π§π (π ∈ N) . In particular, π΄ π (1) = π΄ π , π΄ 1 (π) = π΄(π), and π΄ 1 (1) = π΄. By S∗π (π, π) and Cπ (π, π), π, π ∈ N and π ∈ C \ {0}, we mean the subclasses of π΄ π (π) which are defined, respectively, by Re {1 + π§πσΈ (π§) 1 − π)} > 0, ( π + π − 1 π (π§) π§πσΈ σΈ (π§) 1 − π + 1)} > 0, ( σΈ π + π − 1 π (π§) (π§ ∈ U) , (π§ ∈ U) . (2) For π = 1, π = 1, π = 1, the previous two classes defined in (2) reduce to the well-known classes of starlike and convex, respectively. For functions π(π§), π(π§) ∈ π΄ π (π) of the form (1), we define the convolution (Hadamard product) of π(π§) and π(π§) by ∞ (π β π) (π§) = π§π + ∑ ππ ππ π§π , π=π+π π§(π (π§) β π (π§)) 1 ( − π)} > 0, π+π−1 π (π§) β π (π§) (1) π=π+π Re {1 + σΈ Re {1 + (π§ ∈ U) . (3) (4) (π§ ∈ U) . Sufficient conditions were studied by various authors for different subclasses of analytic and multivalent functions, for some of the related work see [1–8]. The object of the present paper is to obtain sufficient conditions for the subclass Mπ (π, π; π(π§)) of π΄ π (π). We also consider some special cases of our results which lead to various interesting corollaries and relevances of some of these with other known results also being mentioned. We will assume throughout our discussion, unless otherwise stated, that π ∈ N, π ∈ N, π ∈ C \ {0}. 2. Preliminary Results To obtain our main results, we need the following Lemma’s. Lemma 1 (see [9]). If π(π§) ∈ π΄(π) with π ≥ 1 and satisfies the condition σ΅¨ σ΅¨σ΅¨ σΈ σ΅¨σ΅¨π (π§) − 1σ΅¨σ΅¨σ΅¨ < σ΅¨ σ΅¨ π+1 √(π + 1)2 + 1 (π§ ∈ U) , (5) 2 Abstract and Applied Analysis Thus using (10), we have then ∗ π (π§) ∈ S (π, 1) . (6) Lemma 2 (see [10]). If π(π§) ∈ π΄(π) satisfing the condition σ΅¨ π σ΅¨σ΅¨ σ΅¨σ΅¨arg πσΈ (π§)σ΅¨σ΅¨σ΅¨ < πΏπ (π§ ∈ U) , σ΅¨ 2 σ΅¨ (7) 2 tan [π (1 − πΏπ )] + π (1 − 2πΏπ ) = 0, (8) π (π§) ∈ S∗ (π, 1) . (9) Lemma 3 (see [11]). Let Ω be a set in the complex plane C, and suppose that Ψ is a mapping from C2 × U to C which satisfies Ψ(ππ₯, π¦, π§) ∉ Ω for π§ ∈ U and for all real π₯, π¦ such that π¦ ≤ (−π/2)(1 + π₯2 ). If π(π§) = 1 + ππ π§π + ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ is analytic in U and Ψ (π(π§), π§πσΈ (π§), π§) ∈ Ω for all π§ ∈ U, then Re π(π§) > 0. 3. Main Results Theorem 4. If π(π§) ∈ π΄ π (π) satisfies σ΅¨σ΅¨ σΈ σ΅¨σ΅¨ π (π§) ∗ π (π§) 1/(π+π−1) π§(π (π§) ∗ π (π§)) σ΅¨σ΅¨( + π − 1} ) { σ΅¨σ΅¨ π§π π (π§) ∗ π (π§) σ΅¨σ΅¨ σ΅¨σ΅¨ σ΅¨ − (π + π − 1) σ΅¨σ΅¨σ΅¨ (10) σ΅¨σ΅¨ π+1 √(π + 1)2 + 1 Proof. Let us set a function π(π§) by π (π§) ∗ π (π§) 1/(π+π−1) ) π§π ππ+π ππ+π (π + π − 1) (π§ ∈ U) . (11) π§π + ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ for π(π§) ∈ π΄ π (π). Then clearly (11) shows that π(π§) ∈ π΄(π). Differentiating (11) logarithmically, we have π (π§) ∗ π(π§)σΈ π πσΈ (π§) 1 1 = [ − ]+ π (π§) π + π − 1 π (π§) ∗ π (π§) π§ π§ which gives σ΅¨ σ΅¨σ΅¨ σΈ σ΅¨σ΅¨π (π§) − 1σ΅¨σ΅¨σ΅¨ σ΅¨ σ΅¨ σ΅¨σ΅¨ σ΅¨σ΅¨ π (π§) ∗ π (π§) 1/(π+π−1) 1 = σ΅¨σ΅¨σ΅¨( ) π σ΅¨σ΅¨ π§ π + π−1 σ΅¨ σ΅¨σ΅¨ σΈ π§(π (π§) ∗ π (π§)) σ΅¨σ΅¨ ×{ + π − 1} − 1σ΅¨σ΅¨σ΅¨ . σ΅¨σ΅¨ π (π§) ∗ π (π§) σ΅¨ (14) Hence, using Lemma 1, we have π(π§) ∈ S∗ (π, 1). From (12), we can write (15) Since π(π§) ∈ S∗ (π, 1), it implies that Re(π§πσΈ (π§)/π(π§)) > 0. Therefore, we get σΈ Re {1 + π§(π (π§) ∗ π (π§)) 1 ( − π)} π+π−1 π (π§) ∗ π (π§) π§πσΈ (π§) > 0, = Re π (π§) (16) and this implies that π(π§) ∈ Mπ (π, π; π(π§)). Setting π = π = 1 and π(π§) = π§/(1 − π§) in Theorem 4, we get the following. Corollary 5.

Remark 7. If we put π = 1−πΌ in Corollaries 5 and 6, we get the results proved by UyanΔ±k et al. [1]. Furthermore, for π = 1, we obtain the results studied by Mocanu [2] and Nunokawa et al. [3], respectively. Also if we set π = 1−πΌ with π(π§) = π§π /(1−π§π ) 2π and π(π§) = π§π /(1 − π§π ) in Theorem 4, we obtain the results due to Goyal et al. [4]. Theorem 8.

Abstract and Applied Analysis 3 Proof. Let π(π§) be given by (11), which clearly belongs to the class π΄(π). Now differentiating (11), we have πσΈ (π§) = ( π (π§) ∗ π (π§) 1/(π+π−1) ) π§π Theorem 12.

From (20), we can write (23) Since π(π§) ∈ S∗ (π, 1), it implies that Re(π§πσΈ (π§)/π(π§)) > 0. Therefore, we get (16), and hence π(π§) ∈ Mπ (π, π; π(π§)). Making π = 1, π = 1 − πΌ with 0 ≤ πΌ < π and π(π§) = π§π /(1 − π§), we have the following. Corollary 9.
