Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Geometric function theory began to develop as a separate branch of complex analysis in the early twentieth century when the first major works appeared in this field due to P. Koebe, T.H. Gromwall, I. W. Alexander and L. Bieberbach. In 1916, L. Bieberbach expressed the famous hypothesis that bears his name, which could only have been proved in 1984 by Louis de Branges and has driven research in the field of univalent functions for nearly a century. Additionally, new methods have been developed, such as L. Loewner’s parametric method, the variational method initiated by M. Schiffer and G. M. Goluzin, the method of integral representations introduced by G. Herglotz, the method of extreme points by L. Brickman and T.H. Mac-Gregor, the method of differential subordinations due to S.S. Miller and P.T. Mocanu, and so on. Recently, new study directions have emerged, such as strong differential subordinations and superordinations theory, fuzzy differential subordinations and superordinations theory, and applications of special functions and of quantum calculus in geometric functions theory.

The focus of this Special Issue is to continue to advance research on topics relating to the new trends in geometric functions theory and its applications.  Topics that are invited for submission include (but are not limited to):

  • univalent function and multivalent functions
  • applications of special functions in geometric functions theory
  • differential subordinations and superordinations
  • fuzzy differential subordinations and superordinations
  • differential and integral operators
  • holomorphic mappings and correspondences
  • holomorphic functions of several complex variables
  • applications quantum calculus in geometric functions theory
  • univalence criteria

In mathematics, physics, and engineering, orthogonal polynomials and special functions play a vital role in the development of numerical and analytical approaches. This field of study has received a lot of attention in recent decades, and it is gaining traction in current fields, including computational fluid dynamics, computational probability, data assimilation, statistics, numerical analysis, and image and signal processing. In this paper, using q-Hermite polynomials, we define a new subclass of bi-univalent functions. We then obtain a number of important results such as bonds for the initial coefficients of |a2|, |a3|, and |a4|, results related to Fekete–Szegö functional, and the upper bounds of the second Hankel determinant for our defined functions class.

The fuzzy differential subordination concept was introduced in 2011, generalizing the concept of differential subordination following a recent trend of adapting fuzzy sets theory to other already-established theories. A prolific tool in obtaining new results related to operators is the fractional integral applied to different functions. The fractional integral of the confluent hypergeometric function was previously investigated using means of the classical theory of subordination. In this paper, we give new applications of this function using the theory of fuzzy differential subordination. Fuzzy differential subordinations are established and their best dominants are also provided. Corollaries are written using particular functions, in which the conditions for the univalence of the fractional integral of the confluent hypergeometric function are given. An example is constructed as a specific application of the results obtained in this paper. Full article

In our present investigation, we extend the idea of q-symmetric derivative operators to multivalent functions and then define a new subclass of multivalent q-starlike functions. For this newly defined function class, we discuss some useful properties of multivalent functions, such as the Hankel determinant, symmetric Toeplitz matrices, the Fekete–Szego problem, and upper bounds of the functional ap+1μap+12 and investigate some new lemmas for our main results. In addition, we consider the q-Bernardi integral operator along with q-symmetric calculus and discuss some applications of our main results. Full article

In this paper, we introduce a special family Mσm(τ,ν,η,φ) of the function family σm of m-fold symmetric bi-univalent functions defined in the open unit disc D and obtain estimates of the first two Taylor–Maclaurin coefficients for functions in the special family. Further, the Fekete–Szegö functional for functions in this special family is also estimated. The results presented in this paper not only generalize and improve some recent works, but also give new results as special cases. Full article

The logarithmic functions have been used in a verity of areas of mathematics and other sciences. As far as we know, no one has used the coefficients of logarithmic functions to determine the bounds for the third Hankel determinant. In our present investigation, we first study some well-known classes of starlike functions and then determine the third Hankel determinant bound for the logarithmic coefficients of certain subclasses of starlike functions that also involve the sine functions. We also obtain a number of coefficient estimates. Some of our results are shown to be sharp. Full article

The main focus of this research is to solve certain coefficient-related problems for analytic functions that are subordinated to a unique trigonometric function. For the class Ssin*, with the quantity zf(z)f(z) subordinated to 1+sinz, we obtain an estimate on the initial coefficient a4 and an upper bound of the third Hankel determinant. For functions in the class BTsin, with f(z) lie in an eight-shaped domain in the right-half plane, we prove that its upper bound of third Hankel determinant is 116. All the results are proven to be sharp. Full article

Various function theorists have successfully defined and investigated different kinds of analytic functions. The applications of such functions have played significant roles in geometry function theory as a field of complex analysis. In this work, therefore, a certain subclass of univalent analytic functions of the form f(z)=zm=2t[ω(2+β)+cγσ]Cm[mσcω(2+β)+cγ]Knzmk=t+1akzk is defined using a generalized differential operator. Furthermore, some geometric properties for the class were established. Full article

In recent years, special functions such as Bessel functions have been widely used in many areas of mathematics and physics. We are essentially motivated by the recent development; in our present investigation, we make use of certain conic domains and define a new class of analytic functions associated with the Dini functions. We derive inclusion relationships and certain integral preserving properties. By applying the Bernardi-Libera-Livingston integral operator, we obtain some remarkable applications of our main results. Finally, in the concluding section, we recall the attention of curious readers to studying the q-generalizations of the results presented in this paper. Furthermore, based on the suggested extension, the (p,q)-extension will be a relatively minor and unimportant change, as the new parameter p is redundant. Full article

In this paper, we introduce and study a new subclass of multivalent functions with respect to symmetric points involving higher order derivatives. In order to unify and extend various well-known results, we have defined the class subordinate to a conic region impacted by Janowski functions. We focused on conic regions when it pertained to applications of our main results. Inclusion results, subordination property and coefficient inequality of the defined class are the main results of this paper. The applications of our results which are extensions of those given in earlier works are presented here as corollaries. Full article
