1. Introduction
Let A denote the class of analytic function satisfying the condition f(0) = f'(0) - 1 = 0 in the open unit disc By S, C, S*, C*, and K we means the well-known subclasses of A which consist of univalent, convex, starlike, quasi-convex, and close-to-convex functions, respectively. The well-known Alexander-type relation holds between the classes C and S* and C* and K, that is,
and
It was proved in [1] that a locally univalent function f(z) is close-to-convex, if and only if
for each r ∈ (0,1) and every pair θ1, θ2 with 0 ≤ θ1< θ2 ≤ 2π.
Let P k (ξ) be the class of functions p(z) analytic in with p(0) = 1 and
This class was introduced in [2] and for k = 2, ξ = 0, the class p k (ξ) reduces to the class P of functions with positive real part. We consider the following classes:
These classes were studied by Noor [3–5] and Padmanabhan and Parvatham [2]. Also it can easily be seen that R2(0) = S* and T2(0) = K, where S* and K are the well-known classes of starlike and close-to-convex functions.
Using the same method as that of Kaplan [1], Noor [6] extend the result of Kaplan given in (1.1), and proved that a locally univalent function f(z) is in the class T k , if and only if
for each r ∈ (0,1) and every pair θ1, θ2 with 0 ≤ θ1 < θ2 ≤ 2π
For any two analytic functions
the convolution (Hadamard product) of f(z) and g(z) is defined by
Using the techniques from convolution theory many authors generalized Breaz operator in several directions, see [7, 8] for example. Here, we introduce a generalized integral operator I n (f i , g i , h i )(z): An → A as follows
where f i (z), g i (z), h i (z) ∈ A with f i (z) * g i (z) ≠ 0 and α i , β i ≥ 0 for i = 1, 2,..., n. The operator I n (f i , g i , h i )(z) reduces to many well-known integral operators by varying the parameters α i , β i and by choosing suitable functions instead of f i (z), g i (z). For example,
-
(i)
If we take we obtain the integral operator
(1.4)
introduced in [9].
-
(ii)
If we take α i = 0 and 1 ≤ i ≤ n, we obtain the integral
introduced and studied by Breaz and Breaz [10].
-
(iii)
If we take we obtain the integral operator
introduced and studied by Breaz et al. [11].
-
(iv)
If we take n = 1, α 1 = 0 and β 1 = 1 in (1.4), we obtain the Alexander integral operator
introduced in [12].
-
(v)
If we take n = 1, α 1 = 0 and β 1 = β, we obtain the integral operator
studied in [13].
In this article, we study the mapping properties of different subclasses of analytic and univalent functions under the integral operator given in (1.3). To prove our main results, we need the following lemmas.
Lemma 1.1[14]. Let f(z) ∈ R k (ξ) for k ≤ 2, 0 ≤ ξ < 1. Then with 0 ≤ θ1 < θ2 ≤ 2π and z = reiθ, r < 1,
Lemma 1.2[15]. If f(z) ∈ C and g(z) ∈ K, then f(z)*g(z) ∈ K.
2. Main results
Theorem 2.1. Let f i (z) ∈ S*, g i (z) ∈ C* and h i (z) ∈ R k (ξ) with 0 ≤ ξ < 1, k ≥ 2 for all 1 ≤ i ≤ n If
then integral operator defined by (1.3) belongs to the class of close-to-convex functions.
Proof. Let f i (z) ∈ S* and g i (z) ∈ C*. Then there exists φ i (z) ∈ C such that
Now consider
Since g i (z) ∈ C*, then by Alexander-type relation So, by Lemma 1.2, we have
which implies that
and hence, by using (1.1),
From (1.3), we obtain
Differentiating (2.3) logarithmically, we have
Taking real part and then integrating with respect to θ, we get
Using (2.2) and Lemma 1.1, we have
From (2.1), we can easily write
This implies that
so, minimum is for θ1 = θ2, we obtain
and this implies that I n (f i , g i , h i )(z) ∈ K.
For k = 2 in Theorem 2.1, we obtain
Corollary 2.3. Let f i (z) ∈ S*, g i (z) ∈ C* and h i (z) ∈ S*(ξ) with 0 ≤ ξ < 1, for all 1 ≤ i ≤ n. If
then I n (f i , g i , h i )(z) ∈ K.
Theorem 2.4. Let f i (z) ∈ T k and h i (z) ∈ R k for 1 ≤ i ≤ n. If α i , β i ≥ 0 such that α i + β i ≠ 0 and
then I n (f i , h i )(z) defined by (1.4) belongs to the class of close-to-convex functions.
Proof. From (1.4), we have
Differentiating (2.5) logarithmically, we have
Taking real part and then integrating with respect to θ, we get
where we have used Lemma 1.1 and (1.2)
From (2.4), we can obtain
So minimum is for θ1 = θ2, thus we have
This implies that In(f i , h i )(z) ∈ K.
For k = 2 in Theorem 2.4, we obtain the following result.
Corollary 2.5. Let f i (z) ∈ K, h i (z) ∈ S* for 1 ≤ i ≤ n and
then I n (f i , h i )(z) defined by (1.4) belongs to the class of close-to-convex functions.
