Abstract
We consider some subclasses of meromorphic multivalent functions and obtain certain simple sufficiency criteria for the functions belonging to these classes. We also study the mapping properties of these classes under an integral operator.
1. Introduction
Let denote the class of functions of the form which are analytic and -valent in the punctured unit disk . Also let and denote the subclasses of consisting of all functions which are defined, respectively, by
We note that for and , the above classes reduce to the well-known subclasses of consisting of meromorphic multivalent functions which are, respectively, starlike and convex of order . For the detail on the subject of meromorphic spiral-like functions and related topics, we refer the work of Liu and Srivastava [1], Goyal and Prajapat [2], Raina and Srivastava [3], Xu and Yang [4], and Spacek [5] and Robertson [6].
Analogous to the subclass of for meromorphic univalent functions studied by Wang et al. [7] and Nehari and Netanyahu [8], we define a subclass of consisting of functions satisfying
For more details of the above classes see also [9, 10].
Motivated from the work of Frasin [11], we introduce the following integral operator of multivalent meromorphic functions
For , (1.4) reduces to the integral operator introduced and studied by Mohammed and Darus [12, 13]. Similar integral operators for different classes of analytic, univalent, and multivalent functons in the open unit disk are studied by various authors, see [14–19].
In this paper, first, we find sufficient conditions for the classes and and then study some mapping properties of the integral operator given by (1.4).
We will assume throughout our discussion, unless otherwise stated, that is real with , , , for .
To obtain our main results, we need the following Lemmas.
Lemma 1.1 (see [20]). If with and satisfies the condition then
Lemma 1.2 (see [21]). Let be a set in the complex plane and suppose that is a mapping from to which satisfies for , and for all real such that . If is analytic in and for all , then .

Theorem 2.1. If satisfies then .
Proof. Let us set a function by

Differentiating (2.2) logarithmically, we have
which gives
Thus using (2.1), we have
Hence, using Lemma 1.1, we have .
From (2.3), we can write
Since , it implies that . Therefore, we get
or
and this implies that .
If we take , we obtain the following result.
Corollary 2.2. If satisfies then .
Theorem 2.3. If satisfies then .

Now for all real and satisfying , we have
Reputing the values of , , , and and then taking real part, we obtain

Corollary 2.5. If satisfies then , where , .
Theorem 2.6. For , let and satisfy (2.9). If then , where .
Proof. From (1.4), we obtain
Differentiating again logarithmically and then by simple computation, we get
or, equivalently we can write
Now taking real part on both sides, we obtain
This further implies that
Let
Clearly we have
Then by using (2.28) and Corollary 2.2, we obtain
Therefore with .
Making use of (2.27) and Corollary 2.5, one can prove the following result.
