Abstract
The main object of the present paper is to investigate several interesting subordination properties and a sharp inclusion relationship for certain subclass of multivalent analytic functions, which are defined here by the generalized multiplier transformation. Relevant connections of the results which are presented in this paper with various known results are also considered.
1. Introduction and Definitions
Let denote the class of analytic functions in the open unit disk If and are in , we say that the function is said to be subordinate to or (equivalently) is said to be superordinate to , written symbolically as if there exists a Schwarz functionāā analytic in , with and , for all , such that In particular, if the function is univalent in , then we have the following equivalence (cf. [1, 2]):
Let be the subclass of consisting of functions defined by which are analytic and -valent in the open unit disk . We note that .
For a function given by (5) and defined by the Hadamard product (or convolution) of and is given by
Recently, CÄtaÅ [3] defined the generalized multiplier transformationāā on by the following infinite series: We note that It is easily verified from (8) that
The generalized multiplier transformation reduces several familiar operators by specializing the parameters , and .(1)For the choice of , the operator defined by (8) reduces the operator , studied by Srivastava et al. [4] and Sivaprasad Kumar et al. [5].(2)By taking , the generalized multiplier transformation yields the operator , which was investigated by Cho et al. [6, 7].(3)For and , the operator reduces the differential operator studied by Kamali and Orhan [8] and Orhan and KiziltunƧ [9] and also, for and , it yields the differential operator introduced by SÄlÄgean [10].(4)As a special case of this operator for and , it reduces the generalized SÄlÄgean operator studied by Al-Oboudi [11] and also earlier, for , it gives the operator investigated by Uralegaddi and Somanatha [12].
Now, we introduce a new subclass of functions in , by making use of the generalized multiplier transformation as follows.
Definition 1. Let , , , , , be arbitrary fixed real numbers such that , , , , and . A function is said to be in the class , if it satisfies the following subordination condition:
In particular, for and , we write , where
Motivated by the recent work of BulboacÄ et al. [13] and Patel and Mishra [14], we investigate the subordination properties of the generalized multiplier transformation defined by (8) and obtain a sharp inclusion relationship for the multivalent analytic function class . We also derive a number of sufficient conditions for functions belonging to the subclass which satisfy certain subordination properties. Relevant connections of the results presented in this paper with earlier sequels are also pointed out.
2. Preliminaries

3. Subordination Properties of
Unless otherwise mentioned, we assume throughout this paper that
Theorem 10. Let and , . If the functions satisfy the following subordination condition: then where and The result is the best possible when .
Proof. Let the functions , , satisfy the subordination condition (35). Then, by setting

By making use of (10) and (38), we obtain
Now, if we let , then by using (40) and the fact that
a simple computation shows that

Since , , it follows from Lemma 4 that
and the bound is the best possible. Hence, by using Lemma 3 in (43), we deduce that

When , we consider the functions āā which satisfy the hypothesis (35) and are given by
Since

Therefore
which evidently completes our proof of Theorem 10.
By setting , , and , , in Theorem 10, we have the following corollary.

In Theorem 12, we have determined the sufficient condition for the functions to be a member of the class .
Theorem 12. If satisfy the following subordination condition: then where The result is the best possible.
Proof. Let
Then, the function is of the form (13). Differentiating (55) with respect to and using the identity (10), we obtain
By using (52), (55), and (56), we get
Now, by applying Lemma 2, we have
By using Lemma 5, we get
Now, we will show that
We have

Theorem 14. If and is given by (70), satifies the subordination condition: then where The result is the best possible.
Proof. Let Then by using the hypothesis (72) together with (71) and (75), we obtain The remaining part of the proof of Theorem 14 is similar to that of Theorem 12 and hence we omit the details.
4. Inclusion Relationship for the Class
Theorem 15. If and then where and is the best dominant of (78). If, in addition to (77), then where The bound on is the best possible.
Proof. Let . Define the function by

Hence, by using Lemma 6 with and , we find that
where is the best dominant of (86) and is given by (79). Since
by (86), we have . Now, (84) shows that is starlike (univalent) in . Thus, it is not possible that vanishes on if . So, we conclude that , and, therefore, is analytic in . Hence, (86) implies that
This proves the assertion (78) of Theorem 15.
In order to establish (81), we have to find the greatest lower bound of such that
By (86), we have to show that
To prove (90), we need to show that
From (79), we see that, for ,

We note that . Thus, by using (90) and (94), we have
when . Further by taking āfor the case and using (78), we get (81). The result is the best possible as the function is the best dominant of (78). This completes the proof of Theorem 15.
In the following section, we obtain the sufficient condition for the function to be a member of the class .
5. Sufficient Conditions for the Class
Theorem 16. If satisfy the following subordination condition: where then .
Proof. Let Then, the function is of the form (13) and is analytic in . From Theorem 12 with and , we have which is equivalent to If we set Then, by using the identity (10) followed by (102), we obtain In view of (106), the hypothesis (100) can be written as follows: We need to show that (107) yields Suppose that this is false. Since , there exists a point such that for some . Therefore, in order to show that (108), it is sufficient to obtain the contradiction from the inequality If we let , then, by using (104) and the triangle inequality, we obtain that If we let then (109) holds true if , for any . Since , the inequality holds true if the discriminant ; that is, which is equivalent to After a simple computation, by using (104), we obtain the inequality which yields . Therefore , which contradicts (107). It follows that , and .
Theorem 17. Let and if such that , , satisfies the following differential subordination: where the powers are understood as the principle value, and then .
Proof . If , then the condition (115) is equivalent to
The above equation (117) implies that .
If we consider and suppose that
Choosing the principal value in (118), we note that is of the form (13) and is analytic in . Differentiating (118) with respect to , we obtain
which, in view of Lemma 2 with , yields
Also, with the aid of (118), (115) can be written as follows:
where is given by (105). Therefore, by Lemma 8, we find that
that is
which completes the proof of Theorem 17
By taking in Theorem 17, we get the following corollary due to Patel et al. [21].
Corollary 18. Let , , , and . If such that āā, and satisfies the following subordination condition: where the powers are understood as the principal value and is given by (116), then .

Remark 25. Putting in Corollary 23, we get the result of Mocanu and Oros [22, Corollaryāā2.4, with ].
In Theorem 26, we obtain the necessary condition for functions belonging to class .
Theorem 26. Let (). If the functions āā, then the function , satisfies the following inequality: provided that
Proof. Let . By using Lemma 4 and (10), we obtain

Again, from (129) and Corollary 13, we obtain
Now, if we let āā then is of the form (13) and is analytic in . A simple computation shows that
where .
Thus, by using (128), (131) can be written as follows:
For all real and , we have
