1. Introduction
Geometric function theory (GFT) is a branch of complex analysis that studies holomorphic functions by exploring their geometric properties and behaviors. This field combines techniques from complex analysis, topology, and differential geometry to investigate mappings in the complex plane and higher-dimensional complex spaces. This work focuses on the space analytic functions. denotes the set of analytic functions within the open unit disk , and represents a specific subset, characterized by a class , and expressed using the following form:
Let denote the subclass of consisting of all functions which are univalent in . Let h and g be analytic in . We say that the function h is subordinate to g in , denoted by , if there exists an analytic function in , such that with , and . If g is univalent in , then the subordination is equivalent to and . Let h and g be analytic in . The convolution (or Hadamard product) of h and g, denoted by , which has the following definition.
Let us utilize the concept of subordination to define the well-known Carathéodory class. The Carathéodory class is defined as follows:
Any function p in has the representation , where , and the following is true:
In reference [1], Janowski introduced a specific subclass of , denoted as . For this class, an analytic function p in with belongs to , if The class of generalized Janowski functions was introduced in [2] for with .
This work introduces a novel class of q-Janowski symmetrical functions defined within the open unit disk . These functions are intrinsically linked to the q-derivative operator. Before delving into the specifics of this new class, we begin by providing a concise overview of the fundamental concepts of -symmetrical functions and q-calculus. This foundational background is essential for understanding the subsequent development and analysis of our proposed class of functions.
We first recall the concept of -fold symmetric functions defined within a -fold symmetric domain, where is any positive integer. A domain is considered -fold symmetric if a rotation of around the origin by an angle of maps onto itself. A function h is deemed -fold symmetric in if, for every in , the following holds:
The family of all -fold symmetric functions is denoted by . Notably, when , we obtain the class of odd univalent functions. Liczberski and Polubinski, in [3], extended this notion by developing the theory of -symmetrical functions, where and . In a -fold symmetric domain , a function is termed -symmetrical if, for every , It is important to note that -symmetrical functions generalize the concepts of even, odd, and -symmetrical functions. We observe that is a -fold symmetric domain with the of any integer. We use the unique decomposition [3] of every mapping , as follows:
The family of all starlike functions, with respect to -symmetric points, is denoted by , which generalizes several well-known subclasses of starlike functions, such as , , and . These correspond to the classes of even, odd, and -symmetric functions, respectively. The study of starlike functions is a significant area in the field of geometric function theory, due to its applications in complex analysis and mathematical modeling. Traditional starlike functions map the unit disk onto starlike domains with respect to the origin. However, recent research has extended this concept to starlike functions with respect to -symmetric points. These studies have investigated various properties of the class , including coefficient estimates, distortion theorems, and subordination results; please see [4,5,6].
In [7], Jackson introduced and studied the concept of the q-derivative operator , where q satisfies the condition , as follows:
Note that, as , . For the function we note that the following is true:
Then, the following is also true:
where is the ordinary derivative.
Assuming the definition of the q-difference operator, the following rules hold:
- , where a and b are real (or complex) constants.
In [8], Jackson introduced the q-integral of a function h as a right inverse, expressed as follows:
provided the q-series converges. The connection between quantum calculus and geometric function theory was first established by Ismail et al. [9]. This groundbreaking work opened a new avenue for exploring the geometric properties of analytic functions using the powerful tools of quantum calculus. In recent years, there has been a surge of interest in applying quantum calculus to investigate various subclasses of analytic functions. For example, Naeem et al. [10] delved into the properties of q-convex functions, while Srivastava et al. [11] explored subclasses of q-starlike functions. Alsarari et al. [12] analyzed convolution conditions for q-Janowski symmetrical function classes. Ovindaraj and Sivasubramanian [13] identified subclasses associated with q-conic domains. Khan et al. [14] utilized the symmetric q-derivative operator to further expand the field. Srivastava’s [15] comprehensive survey-cum-expository review paper has been instrumental in guiding researchers in this burgeoning area.
By leveraging the powerful tools of generalized Janowski functions and - symmetrical functions, in conjunction with the concept of the q-calculus, we embark on defining a novel set of classes.
Definition 1.
The function h in is said to belong to the class , , if the following holds:
where is given by (3).
The general framework we propose encompasses various existing classes. By selecting particular values for and , we can retrieve specific classes as special cases. We will list some of these recovered classes for illustration.
- , introduced and studied by Darus et al. [16].
- = , the class motivated by Agrawal and Sahoo in [17].
- = , the well-known class of starlike function of order by Robertson [18].
- , motivated by Sakaguchi [19].
- = , which was first introduced by Ismail et al. [9].
- , which reduces to the well-known class defined by Janowski [1].
- , the class introduced by Nevanlinna [20].
We denote, using , the subclass of , which consists of all functions h, such that the following is true:
The class consists of functions with specific properties. Here are some examples of functions belonging to this class, using the following parameter values:
Example 1.
- In the basic case with the definition simplifies, since there are no roots of unity involved. Let , . In this case, the condition becomes the following expression:Consider the following function:We compute its q-derivative as follows:Simplifying the above expression can verify the condition. For this specific example, if the subordination holds, belongs to .
- In the case of symmetric points with , we use the primitive 2nd roots of unity .Let , , and . In this case, the condition becomes the following expression:Consider the following function:We construct as follows:Then, the following is true:Simplifying this and checking the subordination condition verifies that satisfies the condition for .
- In the general case with , we use the primitive 3rd roots of unity Let , , and . In this case, the condition becomes the following expression:Consider the following function:We construct as follows:Computing and and averaging them can verify the function’s symmetry properties.
The examples illustrate how to verify functions belonging to the class by constructing symmetric points and checking the subordination condition. These specific functions and parameters help demonstrate the membership in the defined class, ensuring that the functions are starlike with respect to symmetric points.
In this work, we derive a structural formula and a representation theorem for the class . Utilizing convolution techniques and quantum calculus, we investigate convolution conditions, providing supporting examples and corollaries to establish sufficient conditions. Additionally, we derive properties related to coefficient estimates, further elucidating the characteristics of the defined function classes.
We need the following lemma to prove our main results.

For the arbitrary function , we have the following expression:
Replacing with in (11), we obtain the following:
From (11) and (12), we obtain the following:
Through the q-differentiation of (11), we obtain the following:
By repeatedly q-integrating the above equation, we obtain the required structural formula, as follows:
This proves the necessity. To prove the sufficiency of (10), we suppose that (10) holds with . The function h defined by (10) is obviously in with and . To confirm the validity of (10), we proceed by verifying the given identity through differentiation, as follows:
where f is given in (10). Furthermore, using (10), we obtain the following:

From (10), since is the root of unity, we conclude that the following holds:
In this way, we have demonstrated the sufficiency of Equation (10). □

Example 2.
Now, we apply Theorem 2 to explain that , given by (9), belongs to the class ; we only need to prove that

First, we expand and into their respective power series, as follows:
To expand , we need to break it into simpler parts, as follows:
Using geometric series expansions for each term, we obtain the following:
Combining these into a single series expansion for , we can write the following:
where are the coefficients obtained from the above series expansions.
Since for all , and the coefficients in are derived from a combination of geometric series expansions which are typically non-zero unless specifically designed to cancel out, it is clear that not all are zero.
Thus, there exist some k, such that .
Note that, from Theorem 2, we can easily derive the equivalent condition for a function , as stated in the following corollary.

To prove Theorem 3, it is sufficient to demonstrate that , where T is defined as in Equation (25). Let us assume that . Then, we can consider the convolution
Through Corollary 1, we know that belongs to if and only if is non-zero, where T is defined by (25). Using (25) and (26), we can derive the following inequality:
This implies that is non-zero, and, hence, . □
Theorem 4.
Proof.
According to definition , we know that the following is true:
This gives the following expression:
after simplifying the expression below:
Applying the Cauchy product formula to the inequality above and equating coefficients of , we obtain the following:
Using Lemma 1, we obtain the following:
The proof is completed by showing the following:
To prove this, we will employ the method of mathematical induction. It is clear that (30) is true for and 3.
Let the hypothesis be true for ; in this case, we obtain the following:
Multiplying both sides by we then obtain the following:
That is, the following holds:
This completes the proof, showing that the inequality in Equation (30) holds true for the value of k equal to . □

3. Conclusions
In this research paper, we have introduced a novel class of analytic functions, , in the open unit disk . This class combines the concepts of -symmetrical functions, generalized Janowski functions, and q-calculus in a unique and innovative manner. By deriving a structural formula and a representation theorem, we have established a solid foundation for understanding the nature of these functions.
The powerful tools of convolution and quantum calculus have been employed to explore the convolution conditions for functions within the class. This has led to a crucial supporting result for determining a sufficient condition for membership in the class, which we have illustrated through a relevant example and corollary. Furthermore, we have investigated the properties of coefficient estimates, providing valuable insights into the behavior and characteristics of these functions.
Our findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the analytical properties of the class . This research opens up exciting avenues for further exploration. Future studies could focus on investigating other geometric properties, such as distortion theorems, the radius of starlikeness and convexity, and potential applications in the field of univalent functions. Additionally, exploring the connections between this class and other function classes within the framework of q-calculus could lead to a richer understanding of the interplay between different mathematical concepts.
In conclusion, this paper has successfully introduced and analyzed a new class of analytic functions, offering valuable insights and paving the way for further research in the field of complex analysis and q-calculus.
