Ovidius Constanţa Vol. 23(1),2015, 37–51 On certain differential sandwich theorems involving a generalized Sălăgean operator and Ruscheweyh operator Andrei Loriana Abstract In the present paper we introduce sufficient conditions for subordination and superordination involving the operator DRλm,n and also we obtain sandwich-type results. 1 Introduction Let H (U ) be the class of analytic function in the open unit disc of the complex plane U = {z ∈ C : |z| < 1}. Let H (a, n) be the subclass of H (U ) consisting of functions of the form f (z) = a + an z n + an+1 z n+1 + . . . . n+1 Let An = {f ∈ H(U + . . . , oz ∈ U } and A = A1 . n ) : f (z) = z + an+1 z 00 (z) Denote by K = f ∈ A : Re zff 0 (z) + 1 > 0, z ∈ U , the class of normalized convex functions in U . Let the functions f and g be analytic in U . We say that the function f is subordinate to g, written f ≺ g, if there exists a Schwarz function w, analytic in U , with w(0) = 0 and |w(z)| < 1, for all z ∈ U, such that f (z) = g(w(z)), for all z ∈ U . In particular, if the function g is univalent in U , the above subordination is equivalent to f (0) = g(0) and f (U ) ⊂ g(U ). Key Words: analytic functions, differential operator, differential subordination, differential superordination. 2010 Mathematics Subject Classification: Primary 30C45. Received: 5 May, 2014.

If p is analytic in U and satisfies the second order differential subordination ψ(p(z), zp0 (z), z 2 p00 (z); z) ≺ h(z), for z ∈ U, (1) then p is called a solution of the differential subordination. The univalent function q is called a dominant of the solutions of the differential subordination, or more simply a dominant, if p ≺ q for all p satisfying (1). A dominant qe that satisfies qe ≺ q for all dominants q of (1) is said to be the best dominant of (1). The best dominant is unique up to a rotation of U . Let ψ : C2 ×U → C and h analytic in U . If p and ψ p (z) , zp0 (z) , z 2 p00 (z) ; z are univalent and if p satisfies the second order differential superordination h(z) ≺ ψ(p(z), zp0 (z), z 2 p00 (z) ; z), z ∈ U, (2) then p is a solution of the differential superordination (2) (if f is subordinate to F , then F is called to be superordinate to f ). An analytic function q is called a subordinant if q ≺ p for all p satisfying (2). An univalent subordinant qe that satisfies q ≺ qe for all subordinants q of (2) is said to be the best subordinant. Miller and Mocanu [17] obtained conditions h, q and ψ for which the following implication holds h(z) ≺ ψ(p(z), zp0 (z), z 2 p00 (z) ; z) ⇒ q (z) ≺ p (z) . P∞ P∞ For two functions f (z) = z + j=2 aj z j and g(z) = z + j=2 bj z j analytic in the open unit disc U , the Hadamard product (or convolution product) of f (z) and g (z), written as (f ∗ g) (z), is defined by f (z) ∗ g (z) = (f ∗ g) (z) = z + ∞ X aj bj z j . j=2 Definition 1. (Al Oboudi [7]) For f ∈ A, λ ≥ 0 and n ∈ N, the operator Dλm is defined by Dλm : A → A, Dλ0 f (z) = f (z) Dλ1 f = (1 − λ) f (z) + λzf 0 (z) = Dλ f (z) (z) ... Dλm f (z) = (1 − λ) Dλm−1 f (z) + λz (Dλm f (z))0 = Dλ Dλm−1 f (z) , for z ∈ U. Remark 1. If f ∈ A and f (z) = z + P∞ m j j=2 [1 + (j − 1) λ] aj z , for z ∈ U .

(Ruscheweyh [19]) For f ∈ A and n ∈ N, the operator Rn is defined by Rn : A → A, R0 f (z) = f (z) R1 f (z) = zf 0 (z) ... 0 = z (Rn f (z)) + nRn f (z) , P∞ Remark 3. If f ∈ A, f (z) = z + j=2 aj z j , then (n + 1) R n+1 f (z) Rn f (z) = z + ∞ X (n + j − 1)! j=2 n! (j − 1)! z ∈ U. aj z j for z ∈ U . Using the results of Miller and Mocanu [17], [18], Bulboaca [14] considered certain classes of first order differential superordinations. Recently, many authors [15], [22], [21], [16], [23], have used the results of Bulboaca and obtain certain sufficient conditions applying first order differential subordinations and superordinations. In order to prove our subordination and superordination results, we make use of the following: Definition 3. [18] Denote by Q the set of all functions f that are analytic and injective on U \E (f ), where E (f ) = {ζ ∈ ∂U : lim f (z) = ∞}, and are z→ζ such that f 0 (ζ) 6= 0 for ζ ∈ ∂U \E (f ). Lemma 1. [18] Let the function q be univalent in the unit disc U and θ and φ be analytic in a domain D containing q (U ) with φ (w) 6= 0 when w ∈ q (U ). Set Q (z) = zq 0 (z) φ (q (z)) and h (z) = θ (q (z)) + Q (z). Suppose that 1. Q is starlike univalent in U and zh0 (z) 2. Re Q(z) > 0 for z ∈ U . If p is analytic with p (0) = q (0), p (U ) ⊆ D and θ (p (z)) + zp0 (z) φ (p (z)) ≺ θ (q (z)) + zq 0 (z) φ (q (z)) , then p (z) ≺ q (z) and q is the best dominant. Lemma 2. [14] Let the function q be convex univalent in the open unit disc U and ν and 0 φ beanalytic in a domain D containing q (U ). Suppose that (q(z)) 1. Re νφ(q(z)) > 0 for z ∈ U and 2. ψ (z) = zq 0 (z) φ (q (z)) is starlike univalent in U .

Let λ ≥ 0 and n, m ∈ N. Denote by DRλm,n : A → A the operator given by the Hadamard product of the generalized Sălăgean operator Dλm and the Ruscheweyh operator Rn , DRλm,n f (z) = (Dλm ∗ Rn ) f (z) , for any z ∈ U and each nonnegative integers m, n. P∞ Remark 4. If f ∈ A and f (z) = z + j=2 aj z j , then P∞ m 2 j DRλm,n f (z) = z + j=2 [1 + (j − 1) λ] (n+j−1)! n!(j−1)! aj z , for z ∈ U . This operator was studied in [12] and [13]. Remark 5. For λ = 1, m = n, we obtain the Hadamard product SRn [1] of the Sălăgean operator S n and Ruscheweyh derivative Rn , which was studied in [2], [3]. Remark 6. For m = n we obtain the Hadamard product DRλn [4] of the generalized Sălăgean operator Dλn and Ruscheweyh derivative Rn , which was studied in [5], [6], [8], [9], [10], [11]. Using simple computation one obtains the next result. Proposition 1. [12].For m, n ∈ N and λ ≥ 0 we have DRλm+1,n f (z) = (1 − λ) DRλm,n f (z) + λz (DRλm,n f (z)) and 0 0 z (DRλm,n f (z)) = (n + 1) DRλm,n+1 f (z) − nDRλm,n f (z) .
