1. Introduction
The term “symmetry” on the open unit disk can relate to rotational, reflection, or inversion symmetry, among other kinds of symmetry. The characteristic known as “inversion symmetry” describes how an open unit disk appears when it is inverted with respect to a certain point. When any complex number in the disk is inverted with respect to the origin, it yields the complex number whose inversion is also in the disk, indicating that the open unit disk has inversion symmetry with regard to its center (the origin). The open unit disk, in general, contains a rich set of symmetries that are helpful in several geometric and mathematical situations. Our goal was to investigate other geometric characteristics inside this symmetry area.
If a function maps a disk in the complex plane onto a shape that, with relation to a fixed point on the disk, is star-shaped, it is said to be starlike. Stated differently, a function is said to be starlike if, when subjected to appropriate scaling and rotation, its image is contained inside a star-shaped domain. This domain is created by joining the fixed point to every other point in the domain using straight-line segments. While starlike functions are utilized in geometric function theory and mathematical physics to simulate phenomena like electrostatics [
1,
2] and fluid flow [
3,
4], univalent functions are frequently used in geometric function theory to explore conformal mappings and the Riemann mapping theorem.
The one-parameter Mittag-Leffler function
for
(see [
5,
6]) is defined as
Further extension of the Mittag-Leffler function in two-parameters was studied by Wiman [
7]. For all
, the two-parameters function
is defined as
In fact, many researchers have worked on the generalization of the Mittag-Leffler function (see [
8]). In this study, we confine our attention to the generalization given by Salah and Darus [
9], as follows:
Note that

In number theory, (see [

11,
12,
13]), the Lambert series is used for certain problems due to its connection to the well-known arithmetic functions such as

We restrict our attention to the series given by (3). In particular, when we write Here, is the sum of divisors function that appears in one of the elementary equivalent statements to the well-known Riemann hypothesis.
We distinguish at the outset between the Lambert series and the Lambert W function, which appears naturally in the solution of a wide range of problems in science and engineering [
14].
In 1984, Guy Robin [
15] proved that
Moreover, he proved that the Riemann hypothesis is equivalent to

2. Preliminaries
Let
denote the class of analytic functions of the form
and
be the subclass of
consisting of univalent (or one-to-one) functions on
. Let
be the subclass of
consisting of functions of the form
The importance of the coefficients given by the power series in (6) emerged in the early stages of the theory of univalent functions.
The focus of this research is to introduce a linear operator to define a new subclass of analytic functions of order
such that
First, it is necessary to recall the two well-known subclasses of starlike and convex functions of order
, as given below:
and
Selectively, when the above classes are reduced to their standard definition and are simply called the starlike and convex functions.
Definition 1. A function of the form (6) is starlike with respect to symmetrical points if
We denote by
the class of all such functions.
Definition 2. A function of the form (6) is -uniformly starlike of order , if
We denote by the class of all such functions.
Definition 3. A function of the form (6) is-uniformly convex of order , if
We denote by , the class of all such functions.
In particular, the classes
,
, and
are introduced by Goodman [
22,
23] (see also, William Ma and David Minda [
24] and Kanas and Wisniowska [
25]). Furthermore,
In other words, every uniformly starlike function is starlike with respect to symmetrical points.
Note that .
The class of
-starlike functions of order
is an extension of the relatively more-well-known class of
-starlike functions investigated by Kanas et al. [
26,
27] (for further details, refer to Refs. [
28,
29,
30]).
New subclasses of analytic functions have been introduced for various applications, such as fractional calculus and quantum calculus, by involving some special functions, such as the Mittag-Leffler and Faber polynomial functions [
31,
32,
33]. The most common concern in such studies is the inclusion conditions. Alternatively, it means that for a given new subclass,
, we seek a set of useful conditions on the sequence
that are both necessary and sufficient for
to be a member of
.
By following the same pattern, this study attempts to apply the Lambert series which has not been so yet considered in the theory of univalent functions. Consequently, this may lead to relevant studies if one considers extending the Lambert series, whose the coefficients are the sum of divisors function to other subclasses of analytic functions. Hence, we can investigate various topics such as Hankel determinants, subordination properties, and Fekete–Szegö inequalities. Furthermore, these results can be extended to multivalent functions and meromorphic functions. In addition, by using the two Robin’s inequalities, one of which is analogous to the Riemann hypothesis, we can extend the resulting conclusions of some parts of this work and derive further findings. We can also obtain additional forms of the Mittag-Leffler function, including the exponential function, if we take into account certain values of the parameters in the generalized Mittag-Leffler function given by (1) and then study various special cases.
Here, we recall the definition of the Hadamard product (convolution): For a given function
of the form (6) and
of the form
the convolution
of the two functions
and
is obtained as follows:
Subsequently, we utilize the Lambert series
, whose coefficients are the sum of divisors function
. The mathematical form is
In addition, since
does not belong to the class
, we consider some normalization by introducing
For a function
of the form (7), we define the linear operator
as follows:
The above linear operator leads us to propose a definition in the following manner:
Definition 4. A function of the form (6) is said to be in the class if the function satisfies the following condition:
Finally, we consider functions with negative coefficients similarly to the condition (11), and simply write: Based on Definition 3 and the subclass the analytic characterization of the function reduces to the following definition.
Definition 5. A function of the form (7) is said to be in the class if the function satisfies the condition (11).
3. Characterization Property
In this section, we discuss the characterization properties of the members that belong to the new family of analytic functions. The characterization properties include a couple of theorems related to the inclusion of functions, consequent corollaries, and a closure theorem.
Theorem 1. A function of the form (7) is said to be in the class if and only if

Corollary 7. Let the functions defined by (13) belong to the class . Then, where
Corollary 8. Let the functions defined by (13) belong to the class , assuming that the Riemann hypothesis is true, then, where
Theorem 5. Let the function defined by (7) belong to the class , and let , for Then, .

Corollary 9. Let the function defined by (7) belong to the class . Furthermore, let for , then, .
Now, we consider the following:
Theorem 6. Let the functions defined by (14) belong to the class . Then, the function , defined by , belongs to the class , where
Proof. In view of Theorem 1, it suffices to show that
From (11) and Theorem 1, we find that
which yields
Upon comparing the inequalities (19) and (20), it is evident that the inequality (17) is satisfied if
that is, if
This completes the proof. □
Using (4) and (5), respectively, we can readily prove the next two inequalities.
Corollary 10. Let the functions defined by (14) belong to the class . Then, the function defined by belongs to the class , where
Corollary 11. Let the functions defined by (14) belong to the class and let us assume the Riemann hypothesis is true, then, the function defined by belongs to the class , where
5. The Integral Transform of Class
To convert class

Next, we derive the radii of starlikeness and convexity of
Theorem 8. Let , then, is starlike of order in , where
The result is sharp with extremal function given in the proof of Theorem 1.
Proof. It is sufficiently fair to confirm that .
Considering the left-hand side of the above inequality, we write
The last expression is less than
as
This completes the proof. □
Utilizing inequalities (4) and (5) again, we receive the following

7. Conclusions
In this article, we introduce a new subclass of uniformly starlike functions by utilizing the Lambert series, with coefficients derived from the arithmetic function Consequently, we explore the characteristics of the proposed subclass. Furthermore, we discuss several relevant topics, including the Hadamard product, integral transform, and radii of starlikeness and convexity. In addition, we extended some findings by incorporating Robin’s inequalities and the Riemann hypothesis. Thus, applying the Lambert series to additional subclasses of analytic functions may lead to significant research outcomes. Consequently, we can conduct research on various subjects, including Fekete–Szegö inequalities and subordination characteristics. Furthermore, multivalent functions and meromorphic functions can be included in the scope of these conclusions.
Generally, if we apply the same methodology as this study and take into account the Lambert series, whose coefficients are the higher-order sum of divisors function and if we investigate various special cases of the Mittag-Leffler function, we can also get more intriguing results.
