Abstract

The purpose of the present paper is to introduce a generalized discrete probability distribution and obtain some results regarding moments, mean, variance, and moment generating function for this distribution. Further, we show that for specific values it reduces to various well-known distributions. Finally, we give a beautiful application of this distribution on certain analytic univalent functions.

1. Introduction

Let the series , where is convergent and its sum is denoted by , that is, Now, we introduce the generalized discrete probability distribution whose probability mass function is Obviously is a probability mass function because and .

Now, we introduce the series From (1) it is easy to see that the series given by (3) is convergent for and for it is also convergent.

3. Applications on Certain Classes of Univalent Functions

Let denote the class of functions of the following form:which are analytic in the open unit disk and . As usual, by we shall represent the class of all functions in which are univalent in and further, we denote be the subclass of consisting of functions of the following form: In 1988, Altintas and Owa [3] introduced the class , (, ), being the subclass of consisting of functions which satisfy the following condition:

Also, they introduce , (, ), being the subclass of consisting of functions which satisfy the following condition:

By using (18) and (19) we have It is easy to see that for the classes and reduce to the classes of starlike functions of order , and the convex functions of order , , respectively, studied by Silverman [4].

Mostafa [5] and Porwal and Dixit [6] obtain certain conditions for hypergeometric functions and generalized Bessel functions, respectively, for these classes.

Now, we introduce a power series whose coefficients are probabilities of the generalized distribution: Further, we define the following function:

The convolution (or Hadamard product) of two series and is defined as the power series:

Next, we introduce the convolution operator for functions of the form (17) as follows:

Recently, Porwal [7] introduced a Poisson distribution series whose coefficients are probabilities of Poisson distribution and established a correlation between Statistics and Geometric Function Theory which opened up a new direction of research. After the appearance of this paper some researchers (e.g., Ahmad et al. [8], Murugusundaramoorthy [9], and Porwal and Kumar [10]) obtained some new and interesting results by using Hypergeometric Distribution, Poisson Distribution, and Confluent Hypergeometric Distribution. In the present paper motivated with the above-mentioned work, we obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for and in the classes and .

To prove our main theorem, we need the following lemma.

Lemma 7 (see [11]). If is of the form (16) then The bounds given in (25) are sharp.

Lemma 8 (see [3]). A function defined by (17) is in class , if and only if

Lemma 9 (see [3]). A function defined by (17) is in class , if and only if

Theorem 10. If that is of form (22) is in class , if and only if

Proof. Since according to Lemma 8, we have to show that NowThis completes the proof of Theorem 10.

Theorem 11. If that is of form (22) is in class , if and only if

Proof. Since according to Lemma 9, we have to prove that Now Thus the proof of Theorem 11 is established.

Theorem 12. If is of form (17) and the operator defined by (24) is in the class , if and only if

Proof. By Lemma 9, it suffices to prove that Since then by using Lemma 7 we have Hence Thus the proof of Theorem 12 is established.

4. An Integral Operator

In this section, we introduce an integral operator as follows: and we obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for belonging to class

Theorem 13. If is defined by (22), then defined by (40) is in class , if and only if (28) satisfies.

Proof. Since by Lemma 9, we have to prove that Now This completes the proof of Theorem 13.
