Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Geometric Function Theory is the branch of complex analysis that studies the geometric properties of analytic functions. It was born around the turn of the 20th century and remains one of the active fields of the current research. It is very important for us to find new observational and theoretical results in this field with various applications. In particular, geometric properties of special functions such as Bessel, Struve, Lommel, and Mittag–Leffler functions have drawn attention recently. Moreover, functions with rotational symmetry and finite-fold symmetry, with respect to symmetric (conjugate) points, have been widely studied in geometric function theory.

The main aim of the Special Issue is to invite the authors to submit original research articles that not only provide new results or methods but may also have a great impact on other people in their efforts to broaden their knowledge and investigation and will stimulate the efforts in developing new results in Geometric Function Theory and special functions. Review articles with some open problems are also welcome. We do hope that the distinctive aspects of the issue will bring the reader close to the subject of current research and leave the way open for a more direct and less ambivalent approach to the topic.

This Special Issue will contain high-quality papers on current related topics written by world-leading experts in the area.

In our present work, the concepts of symmetrical functions and the concept of spirallike Janowski functions are combined to define a new class of analytic functions. We give a structural formula for functions in Sη,μ(F,H,λ), a representation theorem, the radius of starlikeness estimates, covering and distortion theorems and integral mean inequalities are obtained.

Many diverse subclasses of analytic functions, q-starlike functions, and symmetric q-starlike functions have been studied and analyzed by using q-analogous values of integral and derivative operators. In this paper, we define a q-analogous value of differential operators for harmonic functions with the help of basic concepts of quantum (q-) calculus operator theory; and introduce a new subclass of harmonic functions associated with the Janowski and q-Mittag–Leffler functions. We obtain several useful properties of the new class, such as necessary and sufficient conditions, criteria for analyticity, compactness, convexity, extreme points, radii of starlikeness, radii of convexity, distortion bounds, and integral mean inequality. Furthermore, we discuss some applications of this study in the form of some results and examples and highlight some known corollaries for verifying our main results presented in this investigation. Finally, the conclusion section summarizes the fact about the (p,q)-variations. Full article

In this paper, we define and discuss properties of various classes of analytic univalent functions by using modified q-Sigmoid functions. We make use of an idea of Salagean to introduce the q-analogue of the Salagean differential operator. In addition, we derive families of analytic univalent functions associated with new q-Salagean and q-Ruscheweh differential operators. In addition, we obtain coefficient bounds for the functions in such new subclasses of analytic functions and establish certain growth and distortion theorems. By using the concept of the (q, δ)-neighbourhood, we provide several inclusion symmetric relations for certain (q, δ)-neighbourhoods of analytic univalent functions of negative coefficients. Various q-inequalities are also discussed in more details. Full article

The purpose of this paper is to define new classes of analytic functions by amalgamating the concepts of q-calculus, Janowski type functions and (x,y)-symmetrical functions. We use the technique of convolution and quantum calculus to investigate the convolution conditions which will be used as a supporting result for further investigation in our work, we deduce the sufficient conditions, Po´lya-Schoenberg theorem and the application. Finally motivated by definition of the neighborhood, we give analogous definition of neighborhood for the classes S˜qx,y(α,β) and K˜qx,y(α,β), and then investigate the related neighborhood results, which are also pointed out.

Motivated by q-calculus, we define a new family of Σ, which is the family of bi-univalent analytic functions in the open unit disc U that is related to the Einstein function E(z). We establish estimates for the first two Taylor–Maclaurin coefficients |a2|, |a3|, and the Fekete–Szegö inequality a3μa22 for the functions that belong to these families. Full article
