Abstract
Motivated by q-calculus, we define a new family of , which is the family of bi-univalent analytic functions in the open unit disc U that is related to the Einstein function . We establish estimates for the first two Taylor–Maclaurin coefficients , , and the Fekete–Szegö inequality for the functions that belong to these families.

1. Introduction and Basic Concepts
Let denote the family of functions f normalized by
which are analytic and univalent in the open unit disc and satisfy the usual normalization condition . In addition, an important class of functions will be called . is the family of analytic univalent functions with positive real part mapping U onto domains symmetric with respect to the real axis and starlike with respect to such that . In 1994, Ma and Minda [1] introduced the following subset of functions:
where the symbol “≺” refers to the subordination given in Definition 1 below. Ma and Minda [1] investigated certain useful problems, including distortion, growth and covering theorems.
Now, taking some particular functions instead of in , we achieve many sub-families of the collection which have different geometric interpretations, as for example:
- (i)
- If with , then is the set of Janowski starlike functions; see [2]. Some interesting problems such as convolution properties, coefficient inequalities, sufficient conditions, subordinate results and integral preserving were discussed recently in [3,4,5,6,7] for some of the generalized families associated with circular domains;
- (ii)
- The class was introduced by Sokól and Stankiewicz [8], consisting of functions such that lies in the region bounded by the right-half of the lemniscate of Bernoulli given by ;
- (iii)
- When we take , then we have [9];
- (iv)
- The family , , the rational function is studied in [10];
- (v)
- For , the class is introduced in [11];
- (vi)
- By setting , the family reduces to introduced by Sharma and his coauthors [12], consisting of functions such that lies in the region bounded by the cardioid given by , for more subclasses see [13,14,15,16,17].
In mathematics, Einstein function is a name occasionally used for one of the functions (see [18,19]): .
It is easily noticed that both and have these nice properties (see Figure 1); the image domain of ( are convex functions with ∀) is symmetric along the real axis and starlike about . Unfortunately, , thus, we shall define the new functions and . Now, we can say that (see Figure 2).

The series representations are given as follows:

where is the nth Bernoulli number; it is known that the Bernoulli numbers can be defined by the contour integral (see [20])
where the contour encloses the origin, has radius less than , and is traversed in a counterclockwise direction; the first few members are
and
Here, in this paper, we will deal with the first function E, the function is left as open problem.
Let be the subfamily of consisting of all functions of the form (1) which are univalent in U.
It is well known, by using the Koebe one-quarter theorem [21], that every univalent function containing a disc of radius has an inverse function , which is defined by
and
A function is said to be bi-univalent in U if both f and are univalent in U. Let denote the subfamily of , consisting of all bi-univalent functions defined on the unit disc U. Since has the Maclaurin series expansion given by (1), a simple calculation shows that its inverse has the series expansion
Examples of functions in the class are
and so on. However, the familiar Koebe function is not a member of . Other common examples of functions in , such as
are also not members of .
Now, we recall some notations about the q-difference operator which is used in investigating our main families. In view of Annaby and Mansour [22], the q-difference operator is defined by
and
We note that and .
Definition 1
([23,24]). An analytic function f is said to be subordinate to another analytic function g, written as , if there exists a Schwarz function ω, which is analytic in U with and , such that . In particular, if the function g is univalent in U, then we have the following equivalence:
The aim of this article is to introduce new subfamilies of analytic bi-univalent functions subordinate to the Einstein function . Furthermore, we deduce some estimations to , and also the Fekete–Szegö inequalities for the functions that belong to these subfamilies.

Let f and g be in , then, it satisfies the conditions (7) and (8). However, according to subordination principle Definition 1 and Lemma 2, there exist two Schwarz functions and of the form

After some simple calculations, we deduce
By substituting from (20), (21), (18) and (19) into (16) and (17), and by comparing the coefficients on both sides, we obtain
However, from Equation (22), we can deduce
Thus, by virtue of Lemma 2, we find
On the other hand, from the properties of the modulus, the term . Then, we conclude
Thus, the proof is completed. □
