Abstract
In this article, we introduce a new class of multivalent analytic functions associated with petal-shape region. Furthermore, some useful properties, such as the Fekete–Szegö inequality, and their consequences for some special cases are discussed. For some specific value of function f, we obtain sufficient conditions for multivalent starlike functions connected with petal-shape domain. Finally, in the concluding section, we draw the attention of the interested readers toward the prospect of studying the basic or quantum (or q-) generalizations of the results, which are presented in this paper. However, the -variations of the suggested q-results will provide a relatively minor and inconsequential development because the additional (rather forced-in) parameter is obviously redundant.
1. Introduction and Motivation
To understand our main results and the notations used in this paper in a better way, some basic literature of Geometric Function Theory is presented here. For this understanding, we start with the class , the class of all regular or analytic functions f in the open unit disk
and satisfying the conditions
Further, the class represents all regular univalent functions f of class . Let be the class of Schwarz regular functions w such that with property that and has power series expansion
Furthermore, we briefly discuss the notion of subordinations; let , then is said to subordinate to symbolically:
if there exists an analytic function with properties that
such that
Utilizing the idea of subordinations, different subclasses of starlike functions were introduced by Ma and Minda [], in which the quantity is subordinated to a more general maximal function such that
In some particular cases, if we put , then such functions are known as Janowski functions with condition on L and M is These functions map the open unit disk to the disk in the right half plane with center on real axis and the end points of diameter are and (see []). If we vary to then the image of under open unit disk is bounded by cardioid; this case was studied by Sharma et al. []. Cho et al. [] extended the idea to trigonometric function by replacing by . Furthermore, we put ; this class was introduced by Goel and Kumar [], in which they connected starlike functions to modified sigmoid functions. For more details of the above-mentioned interesting topics, we refer the reader to [,,,]. Recently, Ali et al. [] obtained some conditions on , where is any real number, such that
where g is a regular function defined on with Similar findings were carried out by various authors such as Kumar et al. [,,], Paprocki and Sokół [], Ahmad et al. [], and Sharma et al. [].
Let denote the family of all regular p-valent functions f in the open disk having series representation
In recent years, many authors have studied the subclasses of multivalent (p-valent) functions from different viewpoints and perspectives. For example, recently, Khan et al. [,] were essentially motivated by the Srivastava’s published review article [] and defined certain new families of multivalent q-starlike functions and studied some of their entrusting properties, such as inclusion results, radius problems, and sufficient conditions. Furthermore, Rehman et al. [] defined and studied generalized subclasses of multivalent starlike functions. Recently, many well-known mathematicians have obtained the Fekete–Szegö functional for different subclasses of analytic and bi-univalent functions, see for example [,,,,].
Motivated by the above-mentioned work, we now introduce a new class of analytic multivalent starlike functions associated with the petal-shape domain.
Definition 1.
A function will be in the class if it satisfies
The function is a multivalued function and has branch cuts along the line segments on the imaginary axis; hence, it is analytic in and also the function maps the open unit disk onto petal-shape region, for example,
Remark 1.
If we take we have the class of analytic starlike functions associated with petal-shape domain introduced and studied by Kumar and Arora [].
In this article, we first introduced a new class of multivalent analytic functions associated with petal-shape region. Some useful properties have been discussed, such as Fekete–Szegö inequality and their consequences to some special cases, and also evaluating conditions on so that the following holds
then, is proved to be subordinated to For some specific value of function g, we obtain sufficient conditions for multivalent starlike functions connected with the petal-shape domain.

4. Conclusions
In this article, a subclass of regular multivalent functions in petal-shape domain has been introduced. These functions are then characterized with the help of some useful properties such as Fekete–Szegö problems and consequences to some special cases are discussed. We also derived some differential subordination implementation results involving . These results can be generalized if we consider some other regions such as Lemniscate of Bernoulli region, cardioid region, nephroid domain, etc., instead of the Janowski domain.
In concluding our present investigation, we draw the attention of the interested readers toward the prospect of studying the basic or quantum (or q-) generalizations of the results we have developed in this paper. This direction of research was indeed influenced and motivated by a recently published survey-cum-expository review article by Srivastava []. However, as already demonstrated by Srivastava (see [], p. 340; ([], Section 5, pp. 1511–1512)), the -variations of the proposed q-results will lead trivially to inconsequential research, because the forced-in parameter is obviously redundant. Furthermore, in light of Srivastava’s more recent expository article [], the interested readers should be advised not to be misled to believe that the so-called k-Gamma function provides a “generalization” of the classical (Euler’s) Gamma function. Similar remarks will apply also to all usages of the so-called k-Gamma function, including (for example) the so-called -extensions of the Riemann–Liouville and other operators of fractional integral and fractional derivatives.
