Abstract

The purpose of the present paper is to introduce a Poisson distribution series and obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for this series belonging to the classes and . We also consider an integral operator related to this series.

1. Introduction

Let denote the class of functions of the form which are analytic in the open unit disk and and satisfy the normalization condition . Further, we denote by the subclass of consisting of functions of the form (1) which are also univalent in and let be the subclass of consisting of functions of the form Let be the subclass of consisting of functions which satisfy the condition for some (), () and for all .

Also, we let denote the subclass of consisting of functions which satisfy the condition for some (), () and for all .

From (3) and (4) it is easy to verify that The classes and were extensively studied by Altintas and Owa [1] and certain conditions for hypergeometric functions and generalized Bessel functions for these classes were studied by Mostafa [2] and Porwal and Dixit [3].

It is worthy to note that , the class of starlike functions of order () and , the class of convex functions of order () (see [4]).

A variable is said to have Poisson distribution if it takes the values with probabilities ,  ,  ,  , respectively, where is called the parameter.

Thus Now, we introduce a power series whose coefficients are probabilities of the Poisson distribution: We note that, by ratio test, the radius of convergence of the above series is infinity.

Now, we introduce the series

Motivated by results on connections between various subclasses of analytic univalent functions by using hypergeometric functions (see [510]) and generalized Bessel functions (see [3, 1113]), we obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for function belonging to the classes and . Finally, we give conditions for an integral operator belonging to the classes and .

2. Main Results

To establish our main results, we will require the following Lemmas according to Altintas and Owa [1].

Lemma 1 (see [1]). A function defined by (2) is in the class if and only if

Lemma 2 (see [1]). A function defined by (2) is in the class if and only if

Theorem 3. If , then is in , if and only if

Proof. Since according to Lemma 1, we must show that
Now But this last expression is bounded previously by if and only if (11) holds.
Thus the proof of Theorem 3 is established.

Theorem 4. If , then is in , if and only if

Proof. Since according to Lemma 2, we must show that Now But this last expression is bounded above by if and only if (15) holds. This completes the proof of Theorem 4.

3. An Integral Operator

In the following theorem, we obtain similar results in connection with a particular integral operator as follows:

Theorem 5. If , then defined by (19) is in if and only if

Proof. Since by Lemma 2, we need only to show that Now which is bounded above by , if and only if (20) holds.

Theorem 6. If , then defined by (19) is in if and only if

Proof. The proof of this theorem is similar to that of Theorem 5. Therefore we omit the details involved.
