Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The study of the geometric and mapping properties of analytic and harmonic functions has been an active area of research for complex analysts for more than a century. In an attempt to settle the famous Bieberbach conjecture on the size of the moduli of the Taylor coefficients of univalent analytic functions (1916) and univalent harmonic mappings (1984), several subclasses of analytic and harmonic functions were defined and studied with a specific geometric characterization.

Functions with rotational symmetry and finite-fold symmetry, with respect to symmetric (conjugate) points, have been widely studied in geometric function theory. Moreover, the functions or their associated expressions mapping the unit disk onto domains having a particular symmetry (specifically with respect to a real/imaginary axis) or exhibiting a certain geometrical shape have helped in investigating various properties of functions in terms of coefficient bounds/inequalities, distortion, growth and covering theorems, convolution results, differential inequalities/subordinations, radius problems and inclusion relations.

The aim of this Special Issue is to solicit original research and review articles emphasizing the latest developments in this research area and its applications to other related fields. This Special Issue will provide a platform through which for researchers in different areas of analysis, geometry, and applied mathematics to come together and exchange ideas on how to exploit the notion of symmetry to investigate the properties of analytic and harmonic functions.

The potential topics include but are not limited to:

  • Univalent and multivalent functions;
  • Harmonic univalent functions;
  • Quasi-conformal mappings;
  • Entire and meromorphic functions;
  • Differential subordination and superordination;
  • Geometric function theory in several complex variables;
  • Special functions;
  • Differential and integral operators in geometric function theory.

We introduce and examine two new subclass of bi-univalent function Σ, defined in the open unit disk, based on Sălăgean-type q-difference operators which are subordinate to the involution numbers. We find initial estimates of the Taylor–Maclaurin coefficients |a2| and |a3| for functions in the new subclass introduced here. We also obtain a Fekete–Szegö inequality for the new function class. Several new consequences of our results are pointed out, which are new and not yet discussed in association with involution numbers. Full article

In this paper, we introduce and investigate two new subclasses of analytic and bi-univalent functions using the q-derivative operator Dq0<q<1 and the Gegenbauer polynomials in a symmetric domain, which is the open unit disc Λ=:Cand<1. For these subclasses of analytic and bi-univalent functions, the coefficient estimates and Fekete–Szegö inequalities are solved. Some special cases of the main results are also linked to those in several previous studies. The symmetric nature of quantum calculus itself motivates our investigation of the applications of such quantum (or q-) extensions in this paper. Full article

In the real world, there are many applications that find the Pascal distribution to be a useful and relevant model. One of these is the normal distribution. In this work, we develop a new subclass of analytic bi-univalent functions by making use of the q-Pascal distribution series as a construction. These functions involve the q-Gegenbauer polynomials, and we use them to establish our new subclass. Moreover, we solve the Fekete–Szegö functional problem and analyze various different estimates of the Maclaurin coefficients for functions that belong to the new subclass. Full article

The topics studied in the geometric function theory of one variable functions are connected with the concept of Symmetry because for some special cases the analytic functions map the open unit disk onto a symmetric domain. Thus, if all the coefficients of the Taylor expansion at the origin are real numbers, then the image of the open unit disk is a symmetric domain with respect to the real axis. In this paper, we formulate the q-differential operator associated with the q-Raina function using quantum calculus, that is the so-called Jacksons’ calculus. We establish a new subclass of analytic functions in the unit disk by using this newly developed operator. The theory of differential subordination inspired our approach; therefore, we geometrically explore the most popular properties of this new operator: subordination properties, coefficient bounds, and the Fekete-Szegő problem. As special cases, we highlight certain well-known corollaries of our primary findings. Full article
