Journal of Inequalities and Applications volume 2011, Article number: 531540 (2011)
Abstract
The main object of this paper is to derive some inequality properties and convolution properties of certain class of integral operators defined on the space of meromorphic functions.
1. Introduction and Preliminaries
Let denote the class of functions of the form
which are analytic in the punctured open unit disk
Let , where is given by (1.1) and is defined by
Then the Hadamard product (or convolution) of the functions and is defined by
For two functions and , analytic in , we say that the function is subordinate to in and write
if there exists a Schwarz function , which is analytic in with
such that
Indeed, it is known that
Furthermore, if the function is univalent in , then we have the following equivalence:
Analogous to the integral operator defined by Jung et al. [1], Lashin [2] recently introduced and investigated the integral operator
defined, in terms of the familiar Gamma function, by
By setting
we define a new function in terms of the Hadamard product (or convolution)
Then, motivated essentially by the operator , Wang et al. [3] introduced the operator
which is defined as
where (and throughout this paper unless otherwise mentioned) the parameters , and are constrained as follows:
and is the Pochhammer symbol defined by
Clearly, we know that .
It is readily verified from (1.15) that
Recently, Wang et al. [3] obtained several inclusion relationships and integral-preserving properties associated with some subclasses involving the operator , some subordination and superordination results involving the operator are also derived. Furthermore, Sun et al. [4] investigated several other subordination and superordination results for the operator .
In order to derive our main results, we need the following lemmas.
Lemma 1.1 (see [5]).
Let be analytic and convex univalent in with . Suppose also that is analytic in with . If
then
and is the best dominant of (1.20).
Let denote the class of functions of the form
which are analytic in and satisfy the condition
Lemma 1.2 (see [6]).
Let
Then
The result is the best possible.
Lemma 1.3 (see [7]).
Let
Then
In the present paper, we aim at proving some inequality properties and convolution properties of the integral operator .
2. Main Results
Our first main result is given by Theorem 2.1 below.
Theorem 2.1.
Let and . If satisfies the condition
then
The result is sharp.
Proof.
Suppose that
Then is analytic in with . Combining (1.18) and (2.3), we find that
From (2.1), (2.3), and (2.4), we get
By Lemma 1.1, we obtain
or equivalently,
where is analytic in with
Since and , we deduce from (2.7) that
By noting that
the assertion (2.2) of Theorem 2.1 follows immediately from (2.9) and (2.10).
To show the sharpness of (2.2), we consider the function defined by
For the function defined by (2.11), we easily find that
it follows from (2.12) that
This evidently completes the proof of Theorem 2.1.
In view of (1.19), by similarly applying the method of proof of Theorem 2.1, we get the following result.
Corollary 2.2.
Let and . If satisfies the condition
then
The result is sharp.
For the function given by (1.1), we here recall the integral operator
defined by
Theorem 2.3.
Let , and . Suppose also that is given by (2.17). If satisfies the condition
then
The result is sharp.
Proof.
We easily find from (2.17) that
Suppose that
It follows from (2.18), (2.20) and (2.21) that
The remainder of the proof of Theorem 2.3 is much akin to that of Theorem 2.1, we therefore choose to omit the analogous details involved.
Theorem 2.4.
Let and . If is defined by
and each of the functions satisfies the condition
then
The result is sharp when .
Proof.
Suppose that satisfy conditions (2.24). By setting
it follows from (2.24) and (2.26) that
Combining (1.18) and (2.26), we get
For the function given by (2.23), we find from (2.28) that
where
By noting that and , it follows from Lemma 1.2 that
Furthermore, by Lemma 1.3, we know that
In view of (2.24), (2.30), and (2.32), we deduce that
When , we consider the functions which satisfy conditions (2.24) and are given by
It follows from (2.26), (2.28), (2.30), and (2.34) that
Thus, we have
The proof of Theorem 2.4 is evidently completed.
With the aid of (1.19), by applying the similar method of the proof of Theorem 2.4, we obtain the following result.
Corollary 2.5.
Let and . If is defined by (2.23) and each of the functions satisfies the condition
then
The result is sharp when .
