Abstract

For μ0, we consider a linear operator Lμ:AA defined by the convolution fμf, where fμ=(1μ)z2F1(a,b,c;z)+μz(z2F1(a,b,c;z)). Let φ(A,B) denote the class of normalized functions f which are analytic in the open unit disk and satisfy the condition zf/f(1+Az)/1+Bz, 1A<B1, and let Rη(β) denote the class of normalized analytic functions f for which there exits a number η(π/2,π/2) such that Re(eiη(f(z)β))>0, (β<1). The main object of this paper is to establish the connection between Rη(β) and φ(A,B) involving the operator Lμ(f). Furthermore, we treat the convolution I=0z(fμ(t)/t)dtf(z) for fRη(β).
