Abstract
In this paper, we use the concept of quantum (or -) calculus and define a -analogous of a fractional differential operator and discuss some of its applications. We consider this operator to define new subclasses of uniformly -starlike and -convex functions associated with a new generalized conic domain, . To begin establishing our key conclusions, we explore several novel lemmas. Furthermore, we employ these lemmas to explore some important features of these two classes, for example, inclusion relations, coefficient bounds, Fekete–Szego problem, and subordination results. We also highlight many known and brand-new specific corollaries of our findings.

1. Introduction and Motivation
Perhaps the most intriguing part of the complex function theory is the interaction between geometry and analysis. Such connections between analytic structure and geometric behavior are at the heart of the theory of univalent functions. The domains of these functions characterize a wide variety of appealing geometric structures and canonical types. As an example, the image of an open unit disk under a normalized analytic and univalent function, , contains a disk, . Moreover, the images of a few of the ranges of some of them specify starlike, convex, close-to-convex, some in certain directions, some uniformly convex (starlike), and so on. The ranges of these geometric functions are characteristic of certain geometries. Additionally, this area of study is also known as geometric function theory (GFT).
In GFT, researchers have shown particular interest in linear operators. What makes this research so important is that we are looking at the characteristics of many classes of functions under a certain linear operator at the same time. In 1915, Alexander [1] developed the first integral operator, which he effectively used in his study of analytical functions. This subfield of the analytic function theory of complex analysis, which includes derivative and fractional derivative operators, is the subject of active investigation. Recent works such as [2] demonstrate the relevance of differential and integral fractional operators to the scientific community. Intriguing new results have emerged from studies of differential and integral operators from a number of perspectives, including quantum (or -) calculus, that have implications for other areas of physics and mathematics. Further investigation may reveal that such operators have a role in providing solutions to partial differential equations, given their significance in the study of differential equations via functional analysis and operator theory. In his survey-cum-expository review work, Srivastava [3] highlights the exciting operator applications that are emerging from such a methodology.
Many of these applications of the basic (or -) calculus and the fractional basic (or -) calculus in GFT have inspired the present work, in which we introduce and analyze new subclasses of uniformly -starlike and -convex functions associated with a new generalized conic domain.
Let the set of all functions be denoted by A and of the form
These are normalized analytic functions in the unit disk Let us denote by S the collection of all functions in A that are univalent in E (see [4]).
For any two analytic functions, and in We state as is subordinate to denoted by if there exists a Schwartz function with and such that More importantly, if is univalent in then ([4])
For the analytic functions and where
then convolution is defined as
Let P stand for the famous class of functions p that are analytic in E, and have the series form:
such that
In relation to a point a in E, a domain E is starlike if and only if every line segment connecting the point a to every other point in E entirely encircles the domain. Simply said, starlike refers to a domain that is starlike in relation to its origin. A domain E is convex if and only if it is starlike with regard to each and every point in E or if every line segment connecting between two points in E lies fully inside E. If a function maps E onto a star-shaped (convex) domain, it is said to be a starlike (convex) function. All starlike and convex function classes are abbreviated as and C, respectively. These classes are distinguished analytically by the inequalities:
and
For let and be the subclasses of S composed of convex and starlike functions of order , respectively. Analytically we can write
and
It has been widely accepted that for a convex (starlike) function , its image under E and any circles within E centered at the origin are convex (starlike) arcs. Nevertheless, argumentation is needed to determine whether the characteristic generally applies to circles with the center at any other point, let us say . Goodman [5] provided the answer to this issue by defining uniformly convex and starlike functions. After much deliberation, Ronning [6] and Ma and Minda [7] proposed the one variable characterization of these functions, defining them as follows:
The set of uniformly starlike functions, denoted by , includes the function if and only if
The class of uniformly convex functions, denoted by includes the function if and only if
Later in [8], Kanas and Wisniowska investigated the classes and defined as
and
Note that
To map the intersection of E and any disk center onto a convex domain, it was proven mathematically in [8] that the class for , is a subclass of univalent functions. Thus, the concept of -uniform convexity extends the definition of convexity and is the origin and ; then (see [4]), and for , then . This class was first described by Goodman [5] and has been extensively investigated by Ronning [9] and Ma and Minda [7]. It should be pointed out that the class really began much earlier in [10] with some extra criteria but without the geometric meaning.
In the previous section, we said that Kanas and Wisniowska (see [8]) proposed and analyzed the class - and subsequently the corresponding class -. These classes in the conic domain , were then defined by Kanas and Wisniowska (see [8]) as follows:
or
Remark 1.
For , this domain is the right half plane; for , it is a hyperbola; for , it is a parabola; and for , it is an ellipse.
For these conic regions, the functions (see [8]) play the role of extremal functions.
In [11], Al-Oboudi et al. used the idea of conic domain and defined new subclasses of starlike and convex functions where

From elementary computations, represents the conic sections symmetric about the real axis.
The following functions serve as extremal functions in various conic domains:

For , we have
For ([9,12]), we obtain
For (see [7]), we obtain
where . Finally, for we have
The motivation and use of the calculus may be seen in the fact that it is used to study many families of analytic functions with wide-ranging applications in mathematics and related subjects. The quantum (or -) calculus is also extensively employed in the context of approximation theory, especially for a number of operators, such as the convergence of operators to functions in the real and complex domains. Jackson (see [13]) was the first scholar to define the -analogue of the classical derivative and integral and explain some of its applications. The -beta function was subsequently used by Aral and Gupta to create the -Baskakov–Durrmeyer operator (see [14]), and the -Picard and -Gauss–Weierstrass singular integral operators were investigated in [15]. In addition, a Ruscheweyh -differential operator was initially presented by Kanas and Raducanu (see [16]), and its applications for multivalent functions were studied by Arif et al. (see [17]). In the meanwhile, [18] explored -calculus via the lens of convolution. In recent years, several researchers have defined and explored several -analogous differential operators for analytic, multivalent, and meromorphic functions, and discussed applications of these operators in various contexts; for more information, see [3,19,20].
Now, for your convenience, we provided the most basic definitions of quantum (or -) calculus.

4. Conclusions
The operators of -fractional calculus have been addressed and effectively implemented in a number of recent and continuing publications; see [36]. From the fractional calculus -Pochhammer symbol, several writers have expanded the notions of fractional q-integral and fractional q-derivative by proposing many different lower limits of integration. Many of these applications of the basic (or -) calculus and the fractional basic (or -) calculus in the geometric function theory of complex analysis have inspired the present work.
We were motivated to conduct this research after reading Srivastava’s survey-cum-expository review essay [3], in which he describes the application of both the fundamental (or -) calculus and the fractional (or -) calculus to the study of geometric functions. In Section 1, we discussed some background ideas that are presented in this article and also used the -calculus operator theory and successfully defined the -analogous of a fractional differential operator for analytic functions. Considering this operator, we defined subclasses of -starlike and -convex functions. In Section 2, we mentioned some known lemmas, and also we proved some new lemmas. In Section 3, by utilizing these lemmas, we examined several useful properties, such as inclusion relations, coefficient bounds, Fekete–Szego problem, and subordination results. We also highlight many known and brand-new particular cases of our findings.
