Abstract
Very recently, functions that map the open unit disc U onto a limaçon domain, which is symmetric with respect to the real axis in the right-half plane, were initiated in the literature. The analytic characterization, geometric properties, and Hankel determinants of these families of functions were also demonstrated. In this article, we present a q-analogue of these functions and use it to establish the classes of starlike and convex limaçon functions that are correlated with q-calculus. Furthermore, the coefficient bounds, as well as the third Hankel determinants, for these novel classes are established. Moreover, at some stages, the radius of the inclusion relationship for a particular case of these subclasses with the Janowski families of functions are obtained. It is worth noting that many of our results are sharp.
1. Introduction and Preliminaries
The notion of q-calculus (known as Quantum calculus) is a part of mathematics that deals with calculus without the concept of limits. This field of study has motivated researchers in recent times because of its numerous applications and importance in many areas of science, such as Geometry Function Theory (GFT), Quantum mechanics, cosmology, particle physics, and statistics. The development of this area began from the work of Jackson [1,2]. The idea was first used in GFT by Ismail et al. [3], where the concept of a q-extension of the class of starlike functions was presented. As a result, various q-subclasses of univalent functions have been receiving attention in this area (see [4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15]).
The study of univalent functions that map the open unit disc onto a domain symmetric with respect to the real axis in the right-half plane is one of the fundamental aspects of GFT. On this note, examinations of its subclasses have gained momentum in recent times. To this end, Ma and Minda [16] provided a generalized classification of these subclasses; for more details, see [17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26].
Recently, Kanas and Masih [22] initiated a subfamily of univalent functions that were characterized by limaçon domains. The geometric properties of this class of functions were examined and used to present convex and starlike limaçon classes denoted by and , respectively. Furthermore, Saliu et al. [26] continued with the investigation of these classes and proved many interesting results associated with them.
Motivated by these new works, our interest in this paper is to present a q-analogue of the analytic classification of the limaçon functions and use it to introduce the classes q-starlike limaçon (denoted by ) and q-convex limaçon (depicted by ). Furthermore, the coefficient bounds, third Hankel determinant, coefficient estimate, and radius results (of a particular case) for these novel classes are investigated.
To put our findings into a clear perspective, we present the following preliminaries and definitions:
Let and denote the class of normalized analytic functions of the form
and . Then, the subclass of , which is univalent in U, is depicted by S. Let be the class of analytic functions
such that and . These functions are known as Schwarz functions. If and are analytic functions in U, then is subordinate to (written as ) if there exists such that
Recall that is starlike if is starlike with respect to origin. In addition, is convex if is a convex domain. Analytically, is starlike or convex if and only if
An analytic function
is a function with positive real part if Re . The class of all such functions is denoted by with . We also symbolized the subclass of satisfying Re , by . In particular, [27]. More generally, for , the class consists of function of the form (3) satisfying the subordination condition
We note that [28]. If we choose or , then becomes or .

8. Conclusions
In this work, we introduced a q-limaçon function and used it to present the classes of q-limaçon starlike and convex functions. The coefficient bounds and third Hankel determinant for these families were obtained. Furthermore, at a particular instance, we obtained sharp radii of inclusion between and the classes of the ratio of the analytic functions. Overall, many consequences of our findings were demonstrated. In addition, to have more new hypotheses under the present assessments, new extensions and applications are being investigated with some positive and novel results in different fields of science, particularly in GFT. These new studies will be introduced in future research work being prepared by the authors of the current paper.
However, the purported trivial ()-calculus extension was clearly demonstrated to be a relatively insignificant and inconsequential variation of classical q-calculus, with the extra parameter p being redundant or superfluous (for details, see [13] (p. 340) and [36] (pp. 1511–1512)). This observation by Srivastava (see [13,36]) will indeed apply to any future attempts to produce the rather straightforward -variants of the results we have presented in this paper.
