Abstract
In this article, our objective is to define and study a new subclass of analytic functions associated with the q-analogue of the sine function, operating in conjunction with a convolution operator. By manipulating the parameter q, we observe that the image of the unit disc under the q-sine function exhibits a visually appealing resemblance to a figure-eight shape that is symmetric about the real axis. Additionally, we investigate some important geometrical problems like necessary and sufficient conditions, coefficient bounds, Fekete-Szegö inequality, and partial sum results for the functions belonging to this newly defined subclass.
1. Introduction
Let denote the class of all analytic functions defined in the open unit disk and and having the Taylor series representation at given as
with conditions of normalization and . A subclass of contains all the functions which are univalent (one-to-one) in . The fundamental and important subclasess of are and , which represent the classes of starlike and convex functions, respectively.
Let and be two analytic functions in , then can be said to subordinate (written as if there exists a Schwarz function which is also analytic and satisfies the conditions , , and In addition, if the function is univalent in , then
see [1].
The convolution of two functions and that are analytic in with the series representation of , is provided in (1) and is defined as
It is worth mentioning that the convolution operator has emerged as an important and attractive tool in the field of Geometric Function Theory. This mathematical technique has not only opened a new direction to introduce new operators but also to define interesting subclasses of analytic functions. Important geometrical problems like necessary and sufficient conditions, coefficient bounds, growth and distortion results can also be explored by the applications of convolution technique.
Quantum calculus is the study of ordinary calculus without the notation of limit. Due to vast applications in the fields of mathematics, quantum physics, hyper-geometric functions, mechanics and operator theory, quantum calculus has gained significant interest among researchers, leading to rapid advancement in this field.
Jackson [2,3] was the first who provided the q-analogue of differential and integral operators. In the field of Geometric Function Theory, Ismail et al. [4] introduced the idea of q-calculus and made transformations of starlike functions to q-starlike functions. On the other hand, in [5] this concept is discussed in order terminology. Ashis and Sarasvati [6] used q-trigonometric functions along with q-hyper geometric series to derive the recursion formulas. Amini et al. [7] made an important contribution to the field by using the q-Salagean operator to investigate important differential subordination results for a certain subclass of univalent functions.
More recently, Noor et al. [8] demonstrated important geometrical problems for a q-generalized subclass of close-to-convex functions connected with a parabolic domain. Meanwhile, Shaikh et al. [9] gave some applications of analogues of differential and integral operators for new subclasses of q-starlike and q-convex functions. Similarly, by generalizing a class of close-to-convex functions using the q-Srivastava–Attiya operator, Barez et al. [10] made considerable developments in this field. In a similar manner, Cotîrlâ et al. [11] and Mahmood et al. [12] investigated a number of geometric problems related to the subclasses of analytic functions using the Ruscheweyh q-differential operator associated with Janowksi and conical domains, respectively. Sokól and Stankiewicz [13] also defined and studied a new subclass of analytic functions in a specific domain.
Furthermore, Saliu et al. [14] introduced a new subclass related to the lemniscate of Bernoulli, which are connected to q-Janowski type functions. Alsoboh et al. [15] advanced this field of study by presenting a new class of analytic functions, which is defined by making use of the q-differential operator with respect to —symmetric points. The role of q-operators and their consequences on analytic functions has extended the limits of our understanding.
To put our findings in a clear perspective, we present the following preliminaries.

When , the operator reduces to the well-known operator defined in [20]. From (5), it can easily be seen that
It can also be noted that
Ma and Minda [21] defined a general form of a family of starlike functions as
with in . Geometrically, the function maps onto a star-shaped region whose image domain is also starlike with respect to and symmetric about the real axis.
Seoudy and Aouf [22] extended the work of [21] and introduced a generic form of q-starlike functions associated with the q-difference operator, which is defined as
Several authors have defined and investigated new subclasses of analytic and univalent functions by applying different q-operators and setting generalized domains in . For the most recent work on certain q-subclasses of analytic functions, see [23,24,25,26].
Motivated by the above cited work, we define a new q-subclass of starlike functions by using the q-analogue of the sine function, that is, and q-integral operator , as follows:

Let and be as given in (1). Then, if
Geometrically, the class contains all the functions such that the image domain of under is contained in the image domain of under . For different values of q, the image domains of unit disk under are shown below (see Figure 1, Figure 2 and Figure 3):

3. Main Results
Theorem 1.
Let . Then,
for as well as .
Proof.
Let . Then, is an analytic in and for all , so it follows that for all r in , which shows that the condition in (14) is true for On the other hand, according to (9) and using the definition of subordination, we have
where is the Schwarz function with and Consider , , and then
that is,
After some simple calculations, we obtain
and this expression can be written as
which leads to (14).
Conversely, suppose that the condition (14) holds. Let be analytic in along with , and additionally suppose that , . Since the conditions given in (14) and (15) are identical, then from (15), we can say that . Therefore, the simply connected component contains the domain , which is also connected. Now, according to the univalence of “”, together with the assumption , it is clear that , which means that . □
Corollary 1.

Let then according to (9), we have
where is the Schwarz function with and By taking q-integration, we have
By using the property of q-integration, we have
After some simplifications, we obtain
□
3.1. Coefficient Estimates and the Fekete–Szegö Problem
Let , with the series representation given in (1). Then, for any parameter (real or complex), the factor is known as the Fekete–Szegö problem. As a special case, that is, for , this functional plays an important role in the study of the sharp coefficient problems of Hankel and Toeplitz determinants, as well as generalized Zalcman conjectures and more useful inequalities. In the recent past, many authors have studied this inequality for various classes of analytic functions; see ([28,29,30]). In this section, we find the bounds of the Fekete–Szegö inequality for functions belonging to the class .
Proof.
Using the value of in (25), and after some simplifications, we obtain
Similarly,
Therefore,
Using the definition of q-number and by applying Lemma 1, we have
This is equivalent to
□
In our next result, we will discuss the Fekete–Szegö problem for a complex parameter . Before proving the Fekete–Szegö result, it is important to mention that for having the series representation given in (1), along with
also
and
From (30)–(34), we have
thus, we conclude that the newly defined class is a particular case of the class , that is,
Moreover, by applying Lemma 2 on (35), we have the following corollary.
3.2. Partial Sums Results
In Geometric Function Theory, the partial sum of the series form of analytic and univalent functions plays a crucial role in our understanding of the behaviour of these functions, especially convergence and divergence. In terms of geometric properties, partial sums are used to study coefficient bounds, distortion and growth problems, and radius problems, as well as subordination and superordination results.
Silverman [31] was the first who found the sharp bounds for the ratio of a function to its partial sums for the subclasses of analytic functions. In this portion, we find some lower bound results of the function defined in (1) to its partial sum, which is defined as
Theorem 4.
Proof.
Consider
and after some simple calculations, we have
which gives
By taking the modulus and applying the triangular inequality, we obtain
To prove the required result, that is, in we just need to show in . Therefore, gives
Since satisfies (21), then to prove (37), it would be enough to show that the left-hand side of (41) is bounded above by and is equal to
On account of inequality (42), we can obtain the required result.
Therefore,
Now, one can see that if and only if
To ensure that the function defined in (40) gives sharp bounds, we set , and then
This implies
Similarly, the sharpness for (38) can be proved. □
Theorem 5.
Proof.
The proof follows by working on similar lines as in Theorem 4. □
4. Conclusions
In this article, considering the importance and applications of q-calculus, we used the q-trigonometric function and q-integral operator to define and investigate a new subclass of normalized analytic functions in the open unit disc . We obtained several interesting results of analytic functions belonging to this newly defined class. In this article, our findings include necessary and sufficient conditions for a function to be in the class . Moreover, we drew the image domains of unit disc under different functions, and found the integral representation, coefficient estimates, Fekete–Szegö problems and partial sum results for the function satisfying certain condition in the class . Hopefully, the research carried out in this article will be beneficial for researchers working in GFT, quantum calculus and related areas.
