Abstract

Sharp upper bounds of for the function belonging to certain subclass of starlike functions with respect to -symmetric points of complex order are obtained. Also, applications of our results to certain functions defined through convolution with a normalized analytic function are given. In particular, Fekete-Szegö inequalities for certain classes of functions defined through fractional derivatives are obtained.

1. Introduction

Let denote the class of analytic functions of the following form: And let be the subclass of , which are univalent functions.

If and are analytic functions in , we say that is subordinate to , written if there exists a Schwarz function , which is analytic in with and for all , such that . Furthermore, if the function is univalent in , then we have the following equivalence (see [1, 2]):

Sakaguchi [3] introduced a class of functions starlike with respect to symmetric points, which consists of functions satisfying the inequality

Chand and Singh [4] introduced a class of functions starlike with respect to -symmetric points, which consists of functions satisfying the inequality where

Al-Shaqsi and Darus [5] defined the linear operator as follows: and in general where

In this paper, we define the following class () as follows.

Definition 1. Let be univalent starlike function with respect to which maps the unit disk onto a region in the right half plane which is symmetric with respect to the real axis. Let be a complex number and let . Then functions are in the class if where is defined by (9) and is defined by (7).

We note that for suitable choices of , , , , and we obtain the following subclasses:(i) (see Al-Shaqsi and Darus [6]),(ii) (see Al-Shaqsi and Darus [6]),(iii) (see Al-Shaqsi and Darus [6]),(iv) (see Shanmugam et al.

[15]),(xii) (see Libera [16]),(xiii) (see Chichra [17]),(xiv) and (see Aouf and Silverman [18]),(xv) (see Keogh and Markes [19]).Also, we note the following: In this paper, we obtain the Fekete-Szegö inequalities for the functions in the class . We also give application of our results to certain functions defined through convolution and, in particular, we consider the class defined by fractional derivatives.
