Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The aim of the GFTA symposium is to bring together leading experts as well as young researchers working on topics mainly related to univalent and geometric function theory and to present their recent work to the mathematical community.

This Special Issue, devoted to the topic of “Geometric Function Theory and Applications”, aims to bring together the newest research achievements of scholars studying the complex-valued functions of one or several variables.

Geometric function theory (GFT) is one of the most important branches of complex analysis, which seeks to relate analytic properties of conformal maps to geometric properties of their images and has many applications in various fields of mathematics, including special functions, dynamical systems, analytic number theory, fractional calculus, and probability distributions.

The purpose of this Special Issue is to solicit original research and review articles focusing on the latest developments in this research area and the applications of geometric function theory to other research areas, which not only provide new methods or results but may also have a great impact on the concept of symmetry.

Our goal is to stimulate continuing efforts toward developing new results on these topics.

Topics that are invited for submission include (but are not limited to):

  • Theory differential and integral operators;
  • Univalent and multivalent functions;
  • Analysis of metric spaces;
  • Spaces of analytic and meromorphic functions;
  • Value distribution theory;
  • Differential subordinations and superordinations;
  • Applications of special functions in geometric functions theory;
  • Quasiconformal mappings;
  • Entire and meromorphic functions;
  • Fuzzy differential subordinations and superordinations;
  • Riemann surfaces;
  • Generalized function theory;
  • Bi-complex variable theory;
  • Applications quantum calculus in geometric functions theory;
  • Approximation theory;
  • Universal functions;
  • Harmonic univalent functions;
  • Geometric function theory in several complex variables.

In this study, we introduce a new class of normalized analytic and bi-univalent functions denoted by DΣ(δ,η,λ,t,r). These functions are connected to the Bazilevič functions and the λ-pseudo-starlike functions. We employ Sakaguchi Type Functions and Horadam polynomials in our survey. We establish the Fekete-Szegö inequality for the functions in DΣ(δ,η,λ,t,r) and derive upper bounds for the initial Taylor–Maclaurin coefficients |a2| and |a3|. Additionally, we establish connections between our results and previous research papers on this topic. Full article

In this study, we apply q-symmetric calculus operator theory and investigate a generalized symmetric Sălăgean q-differential operator for harmonic functions in an open unit disk. We consider a newly defined operator and establish new subclasses of harmonic functions in complex order. We determine the sharp results, such as the sufficient necessary coefficient bounds, the extreme of closed convex hulls, and the distortion theorems for a new family of harmonic functions. Further, we illustrate how we connect the findings of previous studies and the results of this article. Full article

The study presented in this paper follows a line of research familiar for Geometric Function Theory, which consists in defining new integral operators and conducting studies for revealing certain geometric properties of those integral operators such as univalence, starlikness, or convexity. The present research focuses on the Bessel function of the first kind and order ν unveiling the conditions for this function to be univalent and further using its univalent form in order to define a new integral operator on the space of holomorphic functions. For particular values of the parameters implicated in the definition of the new integral operator involving the Bessel function of the first kind, the well-known Alexander, Libera, and Bernardi integral operators can be obtained. In the first part of the study, necessary and sufficient conditions are obtained for the Bessel function of the first kind and order ν to be a starlike function or starlike of order α[0,1). The renowned prolific method of differential subordination due to Sanford S. Miller and Petru T. Mocanu is employed in the reasoning. In the second part of the study, the outcome of the first part is applied in order to introduce the new integral operator involving the form of the Bessel function of the first kind, which is starlike. Further investigations disclose the necessary and sufficient conditions for this new integral operator to be starlike or starlike of order 12. Full article

For pN*, let Σp denote the class of meromorphic p-valent functions. We consider an operator for meromorphic functions denoted by Tbn, which generalizes some previously studied operators. We introduce some new subclasses of the class Σp, associated with subordination using the above operator, and we prove that these classes are preserved regarding the operator Jp,γ, so we have symmetry when we look at the form of the class in which we consider the function g and at the form of the class of the image Jp,γ(g), where Jp,γ(g)(z)=γpzγ0zg(t)tγ1dt, γC with Reγ>p.

In 2012, new classes of analytic functions on U×U¯ with coefficient holomorphic functions in U¯ were defined to give a new approach to the concepts of strong differential subordination and strong differential superordination. Using those new classes, the extended Dziok–Srivastava operator is introduced in this paper and, applying fractional integral to the extended Dziok–Srivastava operator, we obtain a new operator DzγHmlα1,β1 that was not previously studied using the new approach on strong differential subordinations and superordinations. In the present article, the fractional integral applied to the extended Dziok–Srivastava operator is investigated by applying means of strong differential subordination and superordination theory using the same new classes of analytic functions on U×U¯. Several strong differential subordinations and superordinations concerning the operator DzγHmlα1,β1 are established, and the best dominant and best subordinant are given for each strong differential subordination and strong differential superordination, respectively. This operator may have symmetric or asymmetric properties. Full article

The main objective of this paper is to present classical second-order differential subordination knowledge extended in this study to include new results regarding third-order differential subordinations. The focus of this study is on the main problems examined by differential subordination theory. Hence, the new results obtained here reveal techniques for identifying dominants and the best dominant of certain third-order differential subordinations. Another aspect of novelty is the new application of the Gaussian hypergeometric function. Novel third-order differential subordination results are obtained using the best dominant provided by the theorems and the operator previously defined as Gaussian hypergeometric function’s fractional integral. The research investigation is concluded by giving an example of how the results can be implemented. Full article

This article comprises the study of strongly starlike functions which are defined by using the concept of subordination. The function φ defined by φ(ζ)=(1+ζ)λ, 0<λ<1 maps the open unit disk in the complex plane to a domain symmetric with respect to the real axis in the right-half plane. Using this mapping, we obtain some radius results for a family of starlike functions. It is worth noting that all the presented results are sharp. Full article

The results obtained by the authors in the present article refer to quantum calculus applications regarding the theories of strong differential subordination and superordination. The q-analogue of the multiplier transformation is extended, in order to be applied on the specific classes of functions involved in strong differential subordination and superordination theories. Using this extended q-analogue of the multiplier transformation, a new class of analytic normalized functions is introduced and investigated. The convexity of the set of functions belonging to this class is proven and the symmetry properties derive from this characteristic of the class. Additionally, due to the convexity of the functions contained in this class, interesting strong differential subordination results are proven using the extended q-analogue of the multiplier transformation. Furthermore, strong differential superordination theory is applied to the extended q-analogue of the multiplier transformation for obtaining strong differential superordinations for which the best subordinants are provided.

The aim of the present article is to introduce and investigate a new family LΣ(δ,η,θ,t;h) of normalized holomorphic and bi-univalent functions that involve the Sakaguchi-type Bazilevič functions and Sakaguchi-type θ-pseudo-starlike functions associated with Laguerre polynomials. We obtain estimates on the initial Taylor–Maclaurin coefficients and the Fekete–Szegö problem for functions in this family. Properties of symmetry can be studied for this newly family of functions.
