Abstract
Recently, several researchers have estimated the Maclaurin coefficients, namely and and the Fekete–Szegö functional problem of functions belonging to some special subfamilies of analytic functions related to certain polynomials, such as Lucas polynomials, Legendrae polynomials, Chebyshev polynomials, and others. This study obtains the bounds of coefficients and , and the Fekete–Szegö functional problem for functions belonging to the comprehensive subfamilies and of analytic functions in a symmetric domain , using the imaginary error function subordinate to Euler polynomials. After specializing the parameters used in our main results, a number of new special cases are also obtained.

1. Introduction
The study of bi-univalent functions using error functions combines sophisticated mathematical methods for error estimates and approximation with complex analysis, especially function theory. Subfamilies of univalent functions that are analytic in a particular domain are called bi-univalent functions. Using error functions to explore bi-univalent functions is motivated by a combination of classical function theory, numerical analysis, and applications to engineering and physics. We can improve our comprehension of bi-univalent functions by using error functions, which offer more accurate characterizations, sharper bounds, and better approximations.
Also, there are numerous uses for the error function in probability science, statistics, applied mathematics, and partial differential equation physics. The error function in quantum mechanics is crucial for estimating the likelihood of seeing a particle in a given area. Alzer [1] and Coman [2] provided a variety of error function properties and inequalities, whereas Elbert et al. [3] investigated the properties of complementary error functions.
Let symbolize the family of analytic and univalent functions Q in the symmetric domain and satisfy of the form
Every function has an inverse , defined by
where (see [4])
Let be the family of bi-univalent functions in given by (1) (Q is bi-univalent in if Q and are univalent in ) (see [5]).
The function Q is subordinate to H, symbolized by if there exists the function and the functions Q and H are analytic in , such that
such that
Also, if H is univalent in , then
Abramowitz and Stegun [6] defined the following error function
Further, defines the following error function, whereas erfi denotes the imaginary error function
Since the error function is odd (i.e., ), it is symmetric with respect to the origin.
Clearly, the function does not belong in the family . Thus, it is natural to consider the following function:
Also, the imaginary error Function (4) is generalized as follows:
Further, the normalization of the generalized imaginary error function erfiμ(ς) is given by
Making use of the convolution, we construct the linear operator to be given as
Remark 1.
Understanding complex functions and their geometric features requires an understanding of Euler polynomials, which originated in the studies of Leonhard Euler in the seventeenth century. In geometric function theory, they are essential for describing conformal mappings that locally preserve angles. They are also extensively used in many branches of geometric function theory, such as Riemann surface theory, Schwarz–Christoffel mappings, and the study of univalent functions. The complex connection between geometric transformations and analytic functions made possible by Euler polynomials is clarified by these applications.
Euler polynomials are defined using the generating function (see, e.g., [9,10]):
A precise formula for is given by
From (10), the function in terms of is obtained as follows:
The initial Euler polynomial values are as follows:
In 2010, Srivastava et al. [5] found bounds for the coefficients and of functions in two interesting subfamilies of the function family . Motivated by this work, many researchers have studied new subfamilies of to obtain new bounds for the coefficients and , like Amourah et al. [11], Deniz [12], Tang et al. [13], Yousef et al. [14], and others.
For a univalent function Q, Fekete and Szegö [15] derived a sharp constraint of the functional with real . Since then, the classical Fekete–Szegö problem or inequality has been defined as the problem of determining the sharp bounds for this functional of family functions with any complex .
The novelty of this work is evident in that many authors have used several special functions in their articles; they have never used error functions in subfamilies of bi-univalent functions.
In this work, we construct two new and extensive subfamilies of bi-univalent functions using a particular special function, the imaginary error function and Euler polynomial, denoted by and and find initial bounds for the coefficients and , as well as the Fekete–Szegö inequality. Also, a number of new corollaries are displayed.
