Abstract
We derive several properties such as convolution and partial sums of multivalent analytic functions associated with an operator involving Srivastava–Tomovski generalization of the Mittag–Leffler function.
1. Introduction
The Mittag–Leffler function [1] and its generalization [2] are defined by the following series:
and
respectively. It is known that these functions are extensions of exponential, hyperbolic, and trigonometric functions, since
and
The functions and arise naturally in the resolvent of fractional integro-differential and fractional differential equations which are involved in random walks, super-diffusive transport problems, the kinetic equation, Lévy flights, and in the study of complex systems. In particular, the Mittag–Leffler function is an explicit formula for the solution the Riemann–Liouville fractional integrals that was developed by Hille and Tamarkin.
In [3], Srivastava and Tomovski defined a generalized Mittag–Leffler function as follows:
where is the Pochhammer symbol
and . They proved that the function given by (3) is an entire function in the complex plane. Recently, Attiya [4] proved that, if with and , the power series in (3) converges absolutely and analytically in for all . We call the function the Srivastava–Tomovski generalization of the Mittag–Leffler function.
Let be the class of functions of the form
which are analytic in . For , we write . The Hadamard product (or convolution) of two functions

Let denote the class of functions with . Suppose that f and g are analytic in . If there exists a Schwarz function w such that for , then we say that the function f is subordinate to g and write for . Furthermore, if g is univalent in , then the following equivalence holds true:
Throughout this paper, we assume that
We define the function associated with the Srivastava–Tomovski generalization of the Mittag–Leffler function by
For , we introduce a new operator by
Note that . From (6), we easily have the following identity:
It is noteworthy to mention that the Fox–Wright hypergeometric function is more general than many of the extensions of the Mittag–Leffler function.
Now, we introduce a new subclass of by using the operator .

The study of the Mittag–Leffler function is an interesting topic in Geometric Function Theory. Many properties of the Mittag–Leffler function and the generalized Mittag–Leffler function can be found, e.g., in [6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22]. In this paper we shall make a further contribution to the subject by showing some interesting properties such as convolution and partial sums for functions in the class.

Moreover, according to Lemma, we have
In order to show that the bound is sharp, we take the functions defined by

For the case when , the proof of Theorem 1 is simple, and we choose to omit the details involved. Now the proof of Theorem 1 is completed. □
