Ovidius Constanţa Vol. 23(1),2015, 9–24 Properties on a subclass of univalent functions defined by using a multiplier transformation and Ruscheweyh derivative Alina Alb Lupaş Abstract In this paper we have introduced and studied the subclass RI(d, α, β) γ of univalent functions defined by the linear operator RIn,λ,l f (z) defined n by using the Ruscheweyh derivative R f (z) and multiplier transformaγ γ tion I (n, λ, l) f (z), as RIn,λ,l : A → A, RIn,λ,l f (z) = (1 − γ)Rn f (z) + γI (n, λ, l) f (z), z ∈ U, where An = {f ∈ H(U ) : f (z) = z + an+1 z n+1 + . . . , z ∈ U } is the class of normalized analytic functions with A1 = A. The main object is to investigate several properties such as coefficient estimates, distortion theorems, closure theorems, neighborhoods and the radii of starlikeness, convexity and close-to-convexity of functions belonging to the class RI(d, α, β). 1 Introduction Denote by U the unit disc of the complex plane, U = {z ∈ C : |z| < 1} and H(U ) the space of holomorphic functions in U . Let An = {f ∈ H(U ) : f (z) = z + an+1 z n+1 + . . . , z ∈ U } with A1 = A.

(Ruscheweyh [20]) For f ∈ A, n ∈ N, the operator Rn is defined by Rn : A → A, R0 f (z) = f (z) R1 f (z) = zf 0 (z) , ... (n + 1) Rn+1 f (z) = 0 z (Rn f (z)) + nRn f (z) , P∞ Remark 1. If f ∈ A, f (z) = z + j=2 aj z j , then n R f (z) = z + ∞ X (n + j − 1)! j=2 n! (j − 1)! z ∈ U. aj z j , z ∈ U. Definition 2. For f ∈ A, n ∈ N, λ, l ≥ 0, the operator I (n, λ, l) f (z) is defined by the following infinite series I (n, λ, l) f (z) = z + n ∞ X λ (j − 1) + l + 1 j=2 l+1 aj z j . Remark 2. It follows from the above definition that I (0, λ, l) f (z) = f (z), 0 (l + 1) I (n + 1, λ, l) f (z) = (l + 1 − λ) I (n, λ, l) f (z) + λz (I (n, λ, l) f (z)) , z ∈ U. Remark 3. For l = 0, λ ≥ 0, the operator Dλn = I (n, λ, 0) was introduced and studied by Al-Oboudi [16], which is reduced to the Sălăgean differential operator [21] for λ = 1. γ Definition 3. [7] Let γ, λ, l ≥ 0, n ∈ N. Denote by RIn,λ,l the operator given γ γ n by RIn,λ,l : A → A, RIn,λ,l f (z) = (1 − γ)R f (z) + γI (n, λ, l) f (z), z ∈ U. P∞ Remark 4. If f ∈ A, f (z) = z + j=2 aj z j , then n o P∞ n γ + (1 − γ) (n+j−1)! aj z j , z ∈ U. RIn,λ,l f (z) = z + j=2 γ 1+λ(j−1)+l l+1 n!(j−1)! This operator was studied also in [13], [14]. 0 Remark 5. For α = 0, RIm,λ,l f (z) = Rm f (z), where z ∈ U and for α = 1, 1 RIm,λ,l f (z) = I (m, λ, l) f (z), where z ∈ U , which was studied in [3], [4], [10], α m [9]. For l = 0, we obtain RIm,λ,0 f (z) = RDλ,α f (z) which was studied in [5], α f (z) = [6], [11], [12], [17], [18] and for l = 0 and λ = 1, we obtain RIm,1,0 Lm f (z) which was studied in [1], [2], [8], [15]. α PROPERTIES OA SUBCLASS OF UNIVALENT FUNCTIONS DEFINED BY USING A MULTIPLIER TRANSFORMATION AND RUSCHEWEYH DERIVATIVE 11 We follow the works of A.R. Juma and H. Ziraz [19]. Definition 4. Let the function f ∈ A. Then f (z) is said to be in the class RI(d, α, β) if it satisfies the following criterion: γ γ 0 2 00 1 z(RIn,λ,l f (z)) + αz RIn,λ,l f (z)) − 1)| < β, | ( γ γ d (1 − α)RIn,λ,l f (z) + αz(RIn,λ,l f (z))0 (1) where d ∈ C − {0}, 0 ≤ α ≤ 1, 0 < β ≤ 1, z ∈ U . In this paper we shall first deduce a necessary and sufficient condition for a function f (z) to be in the class RI(d, α, β). Then obtain the distortion and growth theorems, closure theorems, neighborhood and radii of univalent starlikeness, convexity and close-to-convexity of order δ, 0 ≤ δ < 1, for these functions. 2 Coefficient Inequality Theorem 1.
