In the last few years, numerous subfamilies of univalent functions, whether directly or indirectly associated with exponential functions, have been introduced and thoroughly investigated. Among these, the families Se*, Ce and Re defined by subordination to ez have been intensively investigated. While the coefficient problem on the class Se* and Ce has been solved in many cases, in this paper, we mainly intend to compute the sharp estimates of some initial coefficients, the Feketo–Szegö inequality, and the sharp bounds of second- and third-order Hankel determinants for functions belonging to the class Re. This work has the potential to significantly enrich and enhance the exploration of univalent functions in conjunction with exponential functions, making the field more comprehensive and robust.

Ptolemy’s theorem in Euclidean geometry, named after the Greek astronomer and mathematician Claudius Ptolemy, is well known. We translate Ptolemy’s theorem from analytic Euclidean geometry into the Poincaré ball model of analytic hyperbolic geometry, which is based on the Möbius addition and its associated symmetry gyrogroup. The translation of Ptolemy’s theorem from Euclidean geometry into hyperbolic geometry is achieved by means of hyperbolic trigonometry, called gyrotrigonometry, to which the Poincaré ball model gives rise, and by means of the duality of trigonometry and gyrotrigonometry.

Our goal in this article is to use ideas from symmetric q-calculus operator theory in the study of meromorphic functions on the punctured unit disc and to propose a novel symmetric q-difference operator for these functions. A few additional classes of meromorphic functions are then defined in light of this new symmetric q-difference operator. We prove many useful conclusions regarding these newly constructed classes of meromorphic functions, such as convolution, subordination features, integral representations, and necessary conditions. The technique presented in this article may be used to produce a wide variety of new types of generalized symmetric q-difference operators, which can subsequently be used to investigate a wide variety of new classes of analytic and meromorphic functions related to symmetric quantum calculus.

The characterisation of geometric shapes produces their concise description and is, therefore, important for subsequent analyses, for example in Computer Vision, Machine Learning, or shape matching. A new method for extracting characterisation vectors of 2D geometric shapes is proposed in this paper. The shape of interest, embedded into a raster space, is swept several times by sweep-lines having different slopes. The interior shape’s points, being in the middle of its boundary and laying on the actual sweep-line, are identified at each stage of the sweeping process. The midpoints are then connected iteratively into chains. The chains are filtered, vectorised, and normalised. The obtained polylines from the vectorisation step are used to design the shape’s characterisation vector for further application-specific analyses. The proposed method was verified on numerous shapes, where single- and multi-threaded implementations were compared. Finally, characterisation vectors, among which some were rotated and scaled, were determined for these shapes. The proposed method demonstrated a good rotation- and scaling-invariant identification of equal shapes. Full article

In this paper, we define a new family of q-starlike and q-convex functions related to the cardioid domain utilizing the ideas of subordination and the Sălăgean quantum differential operator. The primary contribution of this article is the derivation of a sharp inequality for the newly established subclasses of q-starlike and q-convex functions in the open unit disc U. For this novel family, bounds of the first two Taylor-Maclaurin coefficients, the Fekete-Szegö-type functional, and coefficient inequalities are studied. Furthermore, we also investigate some new results for the inverse function belonging to the classes of q-starlike and q-convex functions. The results presented in this article are sharp. To draw connections between the early and present findings, several well-known corollaries are also highlighted. Symmetric quantum calculus operator theory can be used to investigate the symmetry properties of this new family of functions. Full article

An object of investigation is the differential geometry of the Riemannian Π-manifolds; in particular, a natural connection, determined by a property of its torsion tensor, is defined, and it is called the second natural connection on Riemannian Π-manifold. The uniqueness of this connection is proved, and a necessary and sufficient condition for coincidence with the known first natural connection on the considered manifolds is found. The form of the torsion tensor of the second natural connection is obtained in the classes of the Riemannian Π-manifolds, in which it differs from the first natural connection. All of the main classes of considered manifolds are characterized with respect to the torsion of the second natural connection. An explicit example of dimension 5 is given in support of the proven assertions. Full article

In this study, by making the use of q-analogous of the hyperbolic tangent function and a Sălăgean q-differential operator, a new class of q-starlike functions is introduced. The prime contribution of this study covers the derivation of sharp coefficient bounds in open unit disk U, especially the first three coefficient bounds, Fekete–Szego type functional, and upper bounds of second- and third-order Hankel determinant for the functions to this class. We also use Zalcman and generalized Zalcman conjectures to investigate the coefficient bounds of a newly defined class of functions. Furthermore, some known corollaries are highlighted based on the unique choices of the involved parameters l and q. Full article

The word “symmetry” is a Greek word that originated from “symmetria”. It means an agreement in dimensions, due proportion, and arrangement; however, in complex analysis, it means objects remaining invariant under some transformation. This idea has now been recently used in geometric function theory to modify the earlier classical q-derivative introduced by Ismail et al. due to its better convergence properties. Consequently, we introduce a new class of analytic functions by using the notion of q-symmetric derivative. The investigation in this paper obtains a number of the latest important results in q-theory, including coefficient inequalities and convolution characterization of q-symmetric starlike functions related to Janowski mappings.

The Atangana–Baleanu fractional integral and multiplier transformations are two functions successfully used separately in many recently published studies. They were previously combined and the resulting function was applied for obtaining interesting new results concerning the theories of differential subordination and fuzzy differential subordination. In the present investigation, a new approach is taken by using the operator previously introduced by applying the Atangana–Baleanu fractional integral to a multiplier transformation for introducing a new subclass of analytic functions. Using the methods familiar to geometric function theory, certain geometrical properties of the newly introduced class are obtained such as coefficient estimates, distortion theorems, closure theorems, neighborhoods and the radii of starlikeness, convexity, and close-to-convexity of functions belonging to the class. This class may have symmetric or assymetric properties. The results could prove interesting for future studies due to the new applications of the operator and because the univalence properties of the new subclass of functions could inspire further investigations having it as the main focus.

The study on fractional integrals of confluent hypergeometric functions provides interesting subordination and superordination results and inspired the idea of using this operator to introduce a new class of analytic functions. Given the class of functions An=fHU:fz=z+an+1zn+1+,zU written simply A when n=1, the newly introduced class involves functions fA considered in the study due to their special properties. The aim of this paper is to present the outcomes of the study performed on the new class, which include a coefficient inequality, a distortion theorem and extreme points of the class. The starlikeness and convexity properties of this class are also discussed, and partial sums of functions from the class are evaluated in order to obtain class boundary properties. Full article

In this paper, we investigate a normalized analytic (symmetric under rotation) function, f, in an open unit disk that satisfies the condition fzgz>0, for some analytic function, g, with z+12nzgz>0,nN. We calculate the radius constants for different classes of analytic functions, including, for example, for the class of star-like functions connected with the exponential functions, i.e., the lemniscate of Bernoulli, the sine function, cardioid functions, the sine hyperbolic inverse function, the Nephroid function, cosine function and parabolic star-like functions. The results obtained are sharp. Full article
