Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This special issue aims to gather the latest developments in the research concerning complex-valued functions from Geometric Function Theory point of view. Contributions are expected regarding any aspects of subordination and superordination results, different types of operators specific to the research in this field,  special functions connected to univalent functions’ theory. Hopefully, new approaches would emerge regarding the introduction and study of special classes of univalent functions using operators and the classical theories of differential subordination and superordination as well as the newer adapted theories of strong differential subordination and superordination and fuzzy differential subordination and superordination. Authors are invited to submit their latest results related to analytic functions in all their variety and also related to their applications in other fields of research. Quantum calculus and its applications in Geometric Function Theory is also expected to provide interesting outcome. Presentation of results obtained by using any other techniques which can be applied in the field of complex analysis and its applications are welcome.

This special issue devoted especially to complex analysis is proposed as a mean to find new approaches for Geometric Function Theory which to inspire further development of this field.

Fractional calculus has a number of applications in the field of science, specially in mathematics. In this paper, we discuss some applications of fractional differential operators in the field of geometric function theory. Here, we combine the fractional differential operator and the Mittag-Leffler functions to formulate and arrange a new operator of fractional calculus. We define a new class of normalized analytic functions by means of a newly defined fractional operator and discuss some of its interesting geometric properties in open unit disk. Full article

The notion of k-symbol special functions has recently been introduced. This new concept offers many interesting geometric properties for these special functions including logarithmic convexity. The aim of the present paper is to exploit essentially two-dimensional wave propagation in the earth-ionosphere wave path using k-symbol Airy functions (KAFs) in the open unit disk. It is shown that the standard wave-mode working formula may be determined by orthogonality considerations without the use of intricate justifications of the complex plane. By taking into account the symmetry-convex depiction of the KAFs, the formula combination is derived. Full article

New results concerning fuzzy differential subordination theory are obtained in this paper using the operator denoted by DzλLαn, previously introduced by applying the Riemann–Liouville fractional integral to the convex combination of well-known Ruscheweyh and Sălăgean differential operators. A new fuzzy subclass DLnFδ,α,λ is defined and studied involving the operator DzλLαn. Fuzzy differential subordinations are obtained considering functions from class DLnFδ,α,λ and the fuzzy best dominants are also given. Using particular functions interesting corollaries are obtained and an example shows how the obtained results can be applied. Full article

Using the historically general growth condition on scalar-valued analytic functions, which have tempered distributions as boundary values, we show that vector-valued analytic functions in tubes TC=Rn+iC obtain vector-valued tempered distributions as boundary values. In a certain vector-valued case, we study the structure of this boundary value, which is shown to be the Fourier transform of the distributional derivative of a vector-valued continuous function of polynomial growth. A set of vector-valued functions used to show the structure of the boundary value is shown to have a one–one and onto relationship with a set of vector-valued distributions, which generalize the Schwartz space DL2(Rn); the tempered distribution Fourier transform defines the relationship between these two sets. By combining the previously stated results, we obtain a Cauchy integral representation of the vector-valued analytic functions in terms of the boundary value. Full article

The logarithmic coefficients are very essential in the problems of univalent functions theory. The importance of the logarithmic coefficients is due to the fact that the bounds on logarithmic coefficients of f can transfer to the Taylor coefficients of univalent functions themselves or to their powers, via the Lebedev–Milin inequalities; therefore, it is interesting to investigate the Hankel determinant whose entries are logarithmic coefficients. The main purpose of this paper is to obtain the sharp bounds for the second Hankel determinant of logarithmic coefficients of strongly starlike functions and strongly convex functions. Full article

The zero-truncated Poisson distribution is an important and appropriate model for many real-world applications. Here, we exploit the zero-truncated Poisson distribution probabilities to construct a new subclass of analytic bi-univalent functions involving Gegenbauer polynomials. For functions in the constructed class, we explore estimates of Taylor–Maclaurin coefficients a2 and a3, and next, we solve the Fekete–Szegő functional problem. A number of new interesting results are presented to follow upon specializing the parameters involved in our main results. Full article

In the research presented in this paper, confluent hypergeometric function is embedded in the theory of strong differential superordinations. In order to proceed with the study, the form of the confluent hypergeometric function is adapted taking into consideration certain classes of analytic functions depending on an extra parameter previously introduced related to the theory of strong differential subordination and superordination. Operators previously defined using confluent hypergeometric function, namely Kummer–Bernardi and Kummer–Libera integral operators, are also adapted to those classes and strong differential superordinations are obtained for which they are the best subordinants. Similar results are obtained regarding the derivatives of the operators. The examples presented at the end of the study are proof of the applicability of the original results. Full article

We consider analytic functions in tubes Rn+iBCn with values in Banach space or Hilbert space. The base of the tube B will be a proper open connected subset of Rn, an open connected cone in Rn, an open convex cone in Rn, and a regular cone in Rn, with this latter cone being an open convex cone which does not contain any entire straight lines. The analytic functions satisfy several different growth conditions in Lp norm, and all of the resulting spaces of analytic functions generalize the vector valued Hardy space Hp in Cn. The analytic functions are represented as the Fourier–Laplace transform of certain vector valued Lp functions which are characterized in the analysis. We give a characterization of the spaces of analytic functions in which the spaces are in fact subsets of the Hardy functions Hp. We obtain boundary value results on the distinguished boundary Rn+i{0¯} and on the topological boundary Rn+iB of the tube for the analytic functions in the Lp and vector valued tempered distribution topologies. Suggestions for associated future research are given. Full article
