1. Introduction
Harmonic functions play important roles in many problem in applied mathematics and they are also famous for their use in the study of minimal surfaces. Several differential geometers such as Choquest [1], Kneser [2], Lewy [3] and Rado [4] studied the harmonic functions. In 1984, Clunie and Sheil-Small [5] developed the basic theory of complex harmonic univalent functions ℑ defined in the open unit disk for which
Let be the family of all harmonic functions of the form , where
are analytic in the open unit disk . Furthermore, let denote the family of functions that are harmonic univalent and sense preserving in . Note that the family = if is zero.
We also let the subclass of as
The classes and were first studied in [5].
A sense-preserving harmonic mapping is in the class if the range is starlike with respect to the origin. The function is called a harmonic starlike mapping in . Also, the function ℑ defined in belongs to the class if and if is a convex domain. The function is called harmonic convex in . Analytically, we have
and
For definitions and properties of these classes, one may refer to [6] and for other subclasses of harmonic functions one can see [7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17].
Let be the class of functions in that may be expressed as , where

In [19] Sokòl et al., introduced the class of functions that satisfy
for some and . For , we obtain the class which satisfy
2. Mittag-Leffler Function
The two-parameter Mittag-Leffler (also known as the Wiman function [20]) was given by
while in 1903, the one-parameter Mittag-Leffler was introduced for , and given by
As its special case, the function has many well known functions for example, , , , , , , , and .
Putting and we get
Numerous properties of the one-parameter Mittag-Leffler and the two-parameter Mittag-Leffler can be found e.g., in [21,22,23,24].
It is clear that the two-parameter Mittag-Leffler function ∉. Thus, we have the following normalization due to Bansal and Prajapat [22]:
where , with and . In this study, we let to be real numbers and .
The study of operators plays an important role in the geometric function theory. Many differential and integral operators can be written in terms of convolution of certain analytic functions, (see [25,26,27,28,29]).
Very recently, and for the functions
Murugusundaramoorthy et al. [30] defined the following convolution operator given by
where are real with
Inclusion relations between different subclasses of analytic and univalent functions by using hypergeometric functions [10,31], generalized Bessel function [32,33,34] and by the recent investigations related with distribution series [35,36,37,38,39,40,41], were studied in the literature. Very recently, several authors have investigated mapping properties and inclusion results for the families of harmonic univalent functions, including various linear and nonlinear operators (see [42,43,44,45,46,47,48]).
The paper is organized as follows. In Section 3, we recall some lemmas, which will be useful to prove the main results. Section 4 is devoted to establishing some inclusion relations of the harmonic class the classes and by applying the convolution operator related with Mittag-Leffler function following the work performed in [30]. Finally, in Section 5, several special cases of the main results are also obtained when .
