Abstract
We introduce new classes, and of meromorphic functions defined by means of the Hadamard product of Cho-Kwon-Srivastava operator, and we define here a similar transformation by means of an operator given by Ghanim and Darus, in and investigate a number of inclusion relationships of these classes. We also derive some interesting properties of these classes.
1. Introduction
Let denote the class of meromorphic functions normalized by which are analytic in the punctured unit disk . For , we denote by and , the subclasses of consisting of all meromorphic functions, which are, respectively, starlike of order and convex of order in .
For functions defined by we denote the Hadamard product (or convolution) of and by
Let be the class of functions analytic in satisfying the properties and where , and . This class has been introduced in [1]. We note that and , see ([2, 3]), the class of analytic functions with positive real part greater than and , the class of functions with positive real part. From (1.6), we can write as where and .
Let us define the function by for , and , where is the Pochhammer symbol. We note that where is the well-known Gaussian hypergeometric function.
Let us put Corresponding to the functions and , and using the Hadamard product for , we define a new linear operator on by The meromorphic functions with the generalized hypergeometric functions were considered recently by Dziok and Srivastava [4, 5], Liu [6], Liu and Srivastava [7–9], and Cho and Kim [10].
For a function , we define and for , Note that if , the operator has been introduced by Cho et al. [11] for . It was known that the definition of the operator was motivated essentially by the Choi-Saigo-Srivastava operator [12] for analytic functions, which includes a simpler integral operator studied earlier by Noor [13] and others (cf. [14–16]). Note also the operator has been recently introduced and studied by Ghanim and Darus, [17], [18] and [19], respectively. To our best knowledge, the recent work regarding operator was charmingly studied by Piejko and Sokół [20]. Moreover, the operator was defined and studied by Ghanim and Darus [21]. In the same direction, we will study the operator given in (1.12).
Now, it follows from (1.10) and (1.12) that
In the present paper, we will use of the operator and introduce some new classes of meromorphic functions.

Using the following well-known estimate [25] we have The right-hand side of this inequality is positive if , where is given by (3.7). Consequently, it follows from (3.9) that for . Sharpness of this result follows by taking in (3.9), .
