Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Complex analysis is one of the most beautiful areas of research in mathematics, due mostly to its remarkable properties and interactions with numerous other branches of pure and applied mathematics. Amongst the many research areas of complex analysis, a vibrant and popular field is the theory of univalent functions, dealing with the geometric and mapping properties of analytic functions. Despite the fact that the famous 1916 coefficient conjecture of Bieberbach was solved by Louis de Branges in 1985, a great many other significant and difficult problems remain, which increasingly are being shown to relate to other branches of classical complex analysis.  

The aim of this Special Issue is to invite papers on complex analysis, and in particular univalent functions. Papers submitted should be of high quality, concentrating on mainstream problems, which make significant additions to the subject. Topics could include subclasses of univalent functions, such as convex, starlike, close-to-convex functions and so on, but simple extensions of known results are not welcome.

In this paper, we make use of the Riemann–Liouville fractional q-integral operator to discuss the class Sq,δ*(α) of univalent functions for δ>0,αC{0}, and 0<|q|<1. Then, we develop convolution results for the given class of univalent functions by utilizing a concept of the fractional q-difference operator. Moreover, we derive the normalized classes Pδ,qζ(β,γ) and Pδ,q(β) (0<|q|<1, δ0,0β1,ζ>0) of analytic functions on a unit disc and provide conditions for the parameters q,δ,ζ,β, and γ so that Pδ,qζ(β,γ)Sq,δ*(α) and Pδ,q(β)Sq,δ*(α) for αC{0}. Finally, we also propose an application to symmetric q-analogues and Ruscheweh’s duality theory. Full article

The functions 1+z, ez, 1+Az, A(0,1] map the unit disc D to a domain which is symmetric about the x-axis. The Regular Coulomb wave function (RCWF) FL,η is a function involving two parameters L and η, and FL,η is symmetric about these. In this article, we derive conditions on the parameter L and η for which the normalized form fL of FL,η are subordinated by 1+z. We also consider the subordination by ez and 1+Az, A(0,1]. A few more subordination properties involving RCWF are discussed, which leads to the star-likeness of normalized Regular Coulomb wave functions. Full article

An implicit finite difference scheme for the numerical solution of a generalized Black–Scholes equation is presented. The method is based on the nonstandard finite difference technique. The positivity property is discussed and it is shown that the proposed method is consistent, stable and also the order of the scheme respect to the space variable is two. As the Black–Scholes model relies on symmetry of distribution and ignores the skewness of the distribution of the asset, the proposed method will be more appropriate for solving such symmetric models. In order to illustrate the efficiency of the new method, we applied it on some test examples. The obtained results confirm the theoretical behavior regarding the order of convergence. Furthermore, the numerical results are in good agreement with the exact solution and are more accurate than other existing results in the literature. Full article

A class of p-valent functions of complex order is defined with the primary motive of unifying the concept of prestarlike functions with various other classes of multivalent functions. Interesting properties such as inclusion relations, integral representation, coefficient estimates and the solution to the Fekete–Szegő problem are obtained for the defined function class. Further, we extended the results using quantum calculus. Several consequences of our main results are pointed out. Full article

The geometry of the image domain plays an important role in the characterization of analytic functions. Therefore, for a comprehensive and detailed study of these functions, a thorough analysis of the geometrical properties of their domains is of prime interest. In this regard, new geometrical structures are introduced and studied as an image domain and then their subsequent analytic functions are defined. Inspired and motivated by ongoing research, Malik et al. introduced a very innovative domain named the cardioid domain, which is symmetric about a real axis. Extending the same work on this symmetric cardioid domain, in this article, we provide a deeper analysis and define and study the convex functions associated with the symmetric cardioid domain, named cardio-convex functions.

Motivated by q-analogue theory and symmetric conic domain, we study here the q-version of the Ruscheweyh differential operator by applying it to the starlike functions which are related with the symmetric conic domain. The primary aim of this work is to first define and then study a new class of holomorphic functions using the q-Ruscheweyh differential operator. A new class kSTqτC,D of k-Janowski starlike functions associated with the symmetric conic domain, which are defined by the generalized Ruscheweyh derivative operator in the open unit disk, is introduced. The necessary and sufficient condition for a function to be in the class kSTqτC,D is established. In addition, the coefficient bound, partial sums and radii of starlikeness for the functions from the class of k-Janowski starlike functions related with symmetric conic domain are included.

In this paper, we introduce new subclasses kSTs(p,β) and kUKs(p,β) of analytic and univalent functions in the canonical domain associated with the Srivastava and Attiya operator. The radius problems of these subclasses regarding symmetrical points are investigated and compared with previous known results. Certain properties and conditions of these subclasses such as integral representation are also discussed in this work. Full article

Some weighted-type classes of holomorphic function spaces were introduced in the current study. Moreover, as an application of the new defined classes, the specific growth of certain entire-solutions of a linear-type differential equation by the use of concerned coefficients of certain analytic-type functions, that is the equation h(k)+Kk1(υ)h(k1)++K1(υ)h+K0(υ)h=0, will be discussed in this current research, whereas the considered coefficients K0(υ),,Kk1(υ) are holomorphic in the disc ΓR={υC:|υ|<R},0<R. In addition, some non-trivial specific examples are illustrated to clear the roles of the obtained results with some sharpness sense. Hence, the obtained results are strengthen to some previous interesting results from the literature. Full article

In this current manuscript, some general classes of weighted analytic function spaces in a unit disc are defined and studied. Special functions significant in both analytic T(p,q,m,s;Ψ) norms and analytic Ψ-Bloch norms serve as a framework for introducing new families of analytic classes. An application in operator theory is provided by establishing important properties of the composition-type operator Cϕ such as the boundedness and compactness with the help of the defined new classes.

Let f be analytic in the unit disk D={zC:|z|<1}, and S be the subclass of normalized univalent functions with f(0)=0, and f(0)=1. Let F be the inverse function of f, given by F(z)=ω+n=2Anωn for some |ω|r0(f). Let S*S be the subset of starlike functions in D, and C the subset of convex functions in D. We show that 1|A3||A2|3 for fS, the upper bound being sharp, and sharp upper and lower bounds for |A3||A2| for the more important subclasses of S* and C, and for some related classes of Bazilevič functions.
