which are analytic and p-valent in the open unit discE={z:|z|<1}. Iff(z) and g(z) are analytic in E, we say that f(z) is subordinate to g(z), written symbolically as follows:

f ≺ginE orf(z)≺g(z),z∈E,

if there exists a Schwarz functionw(z), which is analytic inE with

|w(0)|= 0 and |w(z)|<1,z∈E, such that

f(z) =g(w(z)), z∈E.

Indeed it is known that

f(z)≺g(z) (z∈E)⇒f(0) =g(0) andf(E)⊂g(E).

Furthermore, if the functiong(z) is univalent inE, then we have the following equivalence, see [6,7],

f(z)≺g(z) (z∈E)⇔f(0) =g(0) andf(E)⊂g(E).

For functions fj(z)∈A(p), given by

(2) fj(z) =zp+

we define the Hadamard product (or convolution) of f1(z) andf2(z) by (3) (f1? f2) (z) =zp+

ak+p,1ak+p,2zk+p= (f2? f1) (z) (z∈E) . In our present investigation we shall make use of the Gauss hypergeometric functions defined by

wherea, b, c∈C,c /∈Z0 ={0,−1,−2, . . .} and (k)n denote the Pochhammer symbol (or the shifted factorial) given, in terms of the Gamma function Γ, by

k(k+ 1) (k+ 2). . .(k+n−1) , n∈N 1,n= 0.

We note that the series defined by (4) converges absolutely for z E and hence2F1(a, b;c;z) represents an analytic function inE, see [13].

We define a function Φp(a, c;z) by Φp(a, c;z) =zp+

Φp(a, c;z)?Φp(a, c;z) = zp

(1−z)λ+p,z∈E,

whereλ >−p. This function yields the following family of linear operators (5) Ipλ(a, c)f(z) = Φp(a, c;z)? f(z),z∈E,

where a, c∈R\Z0. For a functionf(z) ∈A(p), given by (1), it follows from (5) that for λ >−p and a, c∈R\Z0

Ipn(a, a)f(z) = Dn+p−1f(z), n∈N,n >−p,

whereDn+p−1f(z) is the Ruscheweyh derivative of (n+p−1)th order, see [4].

The operator Ipλ(a, c) ¡

λ >−p,a;c∈R\Z0¢

was recently introduced by Cho et al [1], who investigated (among other things) some inclusion relation- ships and argument properties of various subclasses of multivalent functions inA(p), which were defined by means of the operatorIpλ(a, c).

Forλ=c= 1 and a=n+p, the Cho-Kown-Srivastava operator yields Ip1(n+p,1)f(z) =In,p (n >−p) ,

whereIn,pdenotes an integral operator of the (n+p−1)th order, which was studied by Liu and Noor [5], see also [9,10]. The linear operatorI1λ(µ+ 2,1) (λ >−1,µ >−2) was also recently introduced and studied by Choi et al [2].

For relevant details about further special cases of the Choi-Saigo-Srivastava operatorI1(λ+ 2,1), the interested reader may refer to the works by Cho et al [2] and Choi et al [1], see also [3].

Using the Cho-Kown-Srivastava operatorIpλ(a, c), we now define a subclass of A(p) as follows:

(5)

Definition 1 Assume that 0< µ < 1, α∈ C, −1≤B 1, A6=B, A R, we say that a functionf(z)∈A(p)is in the classNp,αλ,µ(a, c, A, B)if it satisfies:

1+Bz, z∈E, where the powers are understood as a principal values.

In particular, we letNp,αλ,µ(a, c,12ρ,−1) =Np,αλ,µ(a, c, ρ) denote the sub- class Np,αλ,µ(a, c, A, B) for A = 12ρ, B =−1 and 0 ρ < p. It is obvious thatf(z)∈Np,αλ,µ(a, c, ρ) if and only if f(z)∈A(p) and it satisfies

Special Cases

(i) When a = c= p = 1, λ= 0, then N1,α0,µ(1,1, A, B) is the class studied by Z. Wang et al [14].

(ii) The subclass N1,−10,µ (1,1,1,−1) =N(µ) has been studied by Obradovic [11].

(iii) If a = c = p = 1, λ = 0, α = B = −1 and A = 12ρ, then the class N1,−10,µ (1,1,12ρ,−1) reduces to the class of non-Bazilevic func- tions of order ρ(0 ρ < 1). The Fekete-Szeg¨o problem of the class N1,−10,µ (1,1,12ρ,−1) were considered by N. Tuneski and M .Darus [12].

2 Preliminary Results

In this section we recall some known results.

Lemma 1 Let the functionh(z) be analytic and convex (univalent) inE with h(0) = 1. Suppose also that the function Φ(z) given by

Φ(z) = 1 +c1z+c2z2+. . . is analytic in E. If

Proof. Let f(z)∈Np,αλ,µ1(a, c, A, B). Then by Theorem 3.1 we have f(z)∈Np,0λ,µ(a, c, A, B).

Note that the function Ipλ(a, c)Fα,µ,A,B(z) defined by (13) belongs to the class Np,αλ,µ(a, c, A, B) and hence we obtain that the inequality (12) is sharp.

By applying the similar techniques that we used in proving Theorem 12, we have the following result.

Theorem 4 Let Reα > 0, 0 < µ < 1, −1 A < B 1 and f(z) Np,αλ,µ(a, c, A, B). Then

Note that the function defined by (13) belongs to Np,αλ,µ(a, c, A, B), we obtain that the inequality (15) is sharp. By applying the similar arguments as in Theorem 5, we have the following Theorem.

Proof. Set (23)

µ zp Ipλ(a, c)f(z)

=ρ+ (p−ρ)h(z).

Then clearly,h(z) is analytic inE andh(0) = 1. Taking logarithmic differen- tiation of (23) both sides and using identity (7) in the resulting equation, we observe that
