Abstract
The topics studied in the geometric function theory of one variable functions are connected with the concept of Symmetry because for some special cases the analytic functions map the open unit disk onto a symmetric domain. Thus, if all the coefficients of the Taylor expansion at the origin are real numbers, then the image of the open unit disk is a symmetric domain with respect to the real axis. In this paper, we formulate the q-differential operator associated with the q-Raina function using quantum calculus, that is the so-called Jacksons’ calculus. We establish a new subclass of analytic functions in the unit disk by using this newly developed operator. The theory of differential subordination inspired our approach; therefore, we geometrically explore the most popular properties of this new operator: subordination properties, coefficient bounds, and the Fekete-Szegő problem. As special cases, we highlight certain well-known corollaries of our primary findings.

1. Introduction and Preliminaries
Quantum calculus (QC) is a subject of mathematical analysis and its applications are relevant in mathematics and physics. The functions of q-differentiation and q-integration were first defined and enhanced by Jackson [1,2]. Then, Ismail et al. [3] adopted the concept of q-calculus () into geometric function theory. Researchers are now using the QC to introduce and develop new Ma-Minda type of subclasses of functions. Based on the concept of q-derivatives, Seoudy and Aouf [4] defined one type of quantum starlike function subclass. Zainab et al. [5] used recently a unique method to introduce and develop useful q-stalikeness criteria, and Samir et al. [6] investigated many types of q-starlike functions that are dominated by 2D-Julia set.
QC is also used to generalize a variety of differential and integral operators, including special functions (see [7,8,9,10,11]). Noor and Razzaque, for example, defined a q-differential operator based on the q-Mittag-Leffler function [11]. Tang et al. studied significant properties of the q-starlike functions [12], Karthikeyan et al. [13] investigated the q-higher order derivatives, and Riaz et al. [14] formulated interesting results for the q-starlike functions of negative order.
Many other studies are introduced in the field of geometric function theory including the Mittag–Leffler function and its generalizations (see [15,16,17,18,19]).
The topics studied in the geometric function theory of one variable functions are connected with the concept of Symmetry because for some special cases, the analytic functions map the open unit disk onto a symmetric domain. Thus, if all the coefficients of the Taylor expansion at the origin are real numbers, then the image of the open unit disk is a symmetric domain with respect to the real axis. Moreover, if the function is an odd one, then the image of is a symmetric domain with respect to the origin. In this paper, we investigate how the q-Raina’s function can be utilized to expand a differential operator in the open unit disk.
For two functions h and g analytic in , we say that the function h is subordinate to g, written , if there exists a Schwarz function , which is analytic in with and , , such that for all . In particular, if the function g is univalent in , then we have the following equivalence relation (cf., e.g., [20], see also [21])
Let us define the normalized class of analytic functions as follows:
where the set represents the open unit disk in the complex plane .
The convolution (or Hadamard) product of the functions and of is defined by (see [22])
Moreover, denote by the class of starlike functions, and by the class of convex functions in is normalized with the conditions given by (1), that are . Moreover, let
denote the well-known class of Carathéodory functions (see [23,24]).
Definition 1
([1]). The Jackson derivative of a function h is defined by
Moreover, note that
if is a constant.
If , then the q-shifted factorial (see [1]) is given by the formula
From (2), the q-shifted gamma function could be formulated as follows:
where
and
Special functions include some improper integrals and the outputs of many different types of differential equations. As a result, most integral sets include descriptions of special functions, and these special functions include the most basic integrals and the integral representation of special functions. Because differential operators are important in both physics and mathematics, the theory of special functions is tightly linked to various mathematical physics topics [25]. To begin, we’ll look at the Mittag–Leffler function, which is a well-known special function.
Definition 2
([26]). The power series that determines the Raina’s function is defined by
where with , , and is a bounded sequence of arbitrary real or complex numbers.
Remark 1.
1. If we take for all , then the above definition leads us to the Mittag–Leffler function
2. For the special case , , and , where represents the Pochhammer symbol, the function of the Definition 2 reduces to the Gaussian hypergeometric function
Assuming that , define the function to be the normalized function obtained from by
Note that if , , with and , the operator (3) is the Sălăgean integral operator of order r (see [27]).
In the present article, first we will give a generalization of the normalized function by using the q-gamma function, in order to be the q-Raina function, as follows:
where
and , , .
In view of the quantum operator , we introduce the following q-Raina differential operator by
Using the above definition, it follows that if has the form (1), then
where is given by (4) and
Note that, if and for all , we obtain the Sălăgean q-differential operator defined in [28]. Moreover, if for all , we obtain the q-differential operator of [11]. With the aid of the q-differential operator defined by (5), we will define and study some new classes of analytic functions in the open unit disk.
Definition 3.
Let define by the convex analytic function in as follows:
where , and the following functions are defined by (see [29])
where , , is chosen such that , where is the Legendre’s complete elliptic integral of the first kind and is the complementary integral of , where .
Definition 4.
The function is called to be in the class if and only if
where (see also [29,30])

Definition 5.
The function is called in the class if and .
Lemma 1
([31]). Let be a univalent convex function in satisfying the inequality
Then, for all .
Lemma 2
([32]). Let be analytic in satisfying the condition , . Then,
2. Subordination and Coefficient Upper Bounds for the Class
We start our first subordination result for the functions of the class when , as follows:
Theorem 1.
If h is in the class , then
where ω is a Schwarz function satisfying and , . Furthermore, for we have
Proof.
If , the results in theorem are satisfied by defination of the subordination relation.
If and since , then
where is a Schwarz function satisfying and , .
Integrating both sides of the above relation it follows that
which is equivalent to
Since
this yields
Combining the above inequalities we obtain
and this leads to

The previous theorem represents a generalization of some earlier results, as we can see in the next two special cases:

Corollary 2
([33], Theorem 3.1). If for all and , , then
where ω is a Schwarz function satisfying and , . Furthermore, for we have
The following theorem gives us an upper bound for the Taylor coefficients of the functions from the class :
Theorem 2.
Proof.
Letting

From the comparison of the coefficients of of the above equality we obtain
Accordingly, we obtain
and a calculation implies that
In view of Lemma 1, since , we obtain
For we have
while if , then
Combining the last two inequalities we obtain
Suppose that for a fixed the next inequality is valid:
Hence, we have
which, according to the mathematical induction, completes our proof. □
Remark 2.
The results in Theorem 2, are sharp for the following functions which are belonging to the class :
and
where is defined by (6).
The next two special cases of this theorem were previously obtained by different authors:
Corollary 3
Corollary 4
3. Fekete-Szegő Problem for the Class
First, we will give an estimate for the well-known Fekete–Szegő functional for the class .
Theorem 3.
Proof.
From the condition we have

Let be a function defined by
which implies
and
Therefore, we obtain
thus the initial coefficients can be determined as follows:
A simple computation yields
where is given by (7) and . Hence, in view of Lemma 2 we obtain the desired result. □
The above theorem generalizes some previous results, as we can observe in the next two particular cases:
Corollary 5
Corollary 6
The last result deals with a sufficient condition for the coefficients of a function to be in the class .
Theorem 4.
Proof.
Obviously, we have
and from the assumption of the theorem
Since
we obtain . □
This theorem generalizes other previously obtained results, which we can observe in the next two special cases. Thus, taking in the above theorem for all , and for all with , , we obtain the next special cases, respectively:
Corollary 7
Corollary 8
4. Conclusions
In light of Jackson’s calculus, Raina’s function in is expanded. The proposed q-differential operator was applied to the normalized subclass, and the geometric behavior of the operator is investigated using differential inequalities. For more recent efforts (see [11,33]), some generalizations are provided, and finally, Theorem 4 gives the sufficient condition for a function to belong to this class. We also gave an estimate for the Fekete–Szegő functional for these newly defined classes of functions.
