Abstract
The field of geometric function theory has thoroughly investigated starlike functions concerning symmetric points. The main objective of this work is to derive certain geometric properties, such as the starlikeness of order , convexity of order , k-starlikeness, k-uniform convexity, lemniscate starlikeness and convexity, exponential starlikeness and convexity, and pre-starlikeness for the Galué type Struve function (GTSF). Furthermore, the conditions for GTSF belonging to the Hardy space are also derived. The results obtained in this work generalize several results available in the literature.
1. Introduction
Let us consider the disk of radius r to be represented as , and for simplicity, we denote as . Suppose the class of analytic functions f defined on , and normalized by the condition , can be denoted by . If a function is univalent in , and is a starlike domain with respect to the origin, then it is said to be starlike [1]. Analytically,
For ,
The class of the starlike function of order is denoted by . We simply denote as .
Also, if a function is univalent in , and is a convex domain, then the function f is said to be convex [1]. Analytically,
For , the function
We denote the class of convex functions of order by . For , the class of the convex function is simply denoted by .
Kanas and Wiśniowska in [2] introduced the class of k-uniformly convex functions, defined as the collection of functions such that the image of every circular arc contained in , with center , where , is convex and also provided the one variable characterization. Let and , then
According to [3], and .
In [4], Kanas and Wiśniowska had also defined a similar class , related to the starlike functions, known as the k-starlike function.
In the case when , we obtain the known class of starlike functions. For , the class coincides with the class , introduced by Rønning [5]. Geometrically, the class () can be described as () if the image of under the function , is contained in the conic domain , where and is bounded by the curve given by
Some of the widely known subclasses of starlike functions associated with domains that are symmetric with respect to the real axis are the class of lemniscate starlike functions , which was studied by Sokól and Stankiewicz in [6] and the class of starlike functions associated with exponential functions, which was introduced by Mendiratta et al. [7]. These classes are also characterized by the quantities and . A function is said to be lemniscate starlike (lemniscate convex) on if contained in the interior of the region bounded by the right half of the lemniscate of Bernoulli . The classes of lemniscate starlike functions and lemniscate convex functions are denoted by and , respectively. The classes and represent the starlike and convex functions associated with exponential functions, which are given by
where . It can easily be observed that the domains L and are symmetric with respect to the real axis [8]. Geometric function theory shares a close connection with symmetry. For example, both Möbius transformation theory and hyperbolic geometry employ symmetric principles. Furthermore, within function theory, there has been a comprehensive exploration of starlike functions in relation to symmetric points.
One of the special functions that has captured the interest of numerous researchers is the Struve function, along with its generalizations that arise in the field of mathematical physics and engineering. The generalized Struve function [9] is defined as a particular solution of the second-order inhomogeneous differential equation
such that
where . This function generalizes the Struve function of order p for and the modified Struve function of order p for . In [10], Nisar et al. introduced another generalization of the Struve function named the Galué type Struve function (GTSF), defined as
It can be easily seen that the Function (3) is a generalization of (2) and various other special functions frequently used in several branches of mathematics. For example:
- (i)
- If we put and , we obtainwhere is the generalized Struve function defined as (2).
- (ii)
- If we put , and , we obtainwhere is the Bessel function [11].
- (iii)
- If we put and , we obtainwhere is the Struve function of order p.
- (iv)
- If we put , and , we obtainwhere is the Wright function [12].
- (v)
- have a connection with the Fox–Wright function :
- (vi)
- Setting , and , we obtain generalized the Mittag-Leffler function [13]:
The GTSF in (3) does not belong to the class ; thus, we use the following normalization for our study:
It is noteworthy that research on special functions, such as the Struve functions, is a broad and ongoing field. Scholars subsequent to Struve have persisted in investigating diverse aspects, uses, and expansions of these functions. Further studies have broadened our knowledge and application of Struve functions in a variety of domains, such as engineering, physics, and mathematical analysis. The GTSF also plays a significant role in mathematical analysis, including applications in fractional calculus and integral transformations (see [10,14,15]).
Several researchers have investigated the geometric properties such as univalency, starlikeness, convexity, close to convexity, exponential starlikeness, exponential convexity, and the Hardy space of Struve functions and its generalizations, e.g., [9,16,17,18,19,20,21]. In [22], the strong starlikeness, strong convexity, and uniform convexity properties of GTSF were obtained. Motivated by these developments, we aim, here, to obtain the geometrical properties related to various kinds of starlikeness and convexity for normalized GTSF.

8. Concluding Remarks and Observations
In this article, we established various geometric properties for the normalized Galué type Struve function (GTSF), including the starlikeness of order , convexity of order , k-starlikeness, k-uniform convexity, lemniscate starlikeness and convexity, exponential starlikeness and convexity, and pre-starlikeness. Moreover, Theorem 12 illustrates a direct implication of the convexity of GTSF connected to the Hardy space of analytic functions. Several outcomes derived herein generalize the findings available in prior literature. The findings of this study were supported by interesting examples and graphical representations.
