Abstract
The findings of this study are connected with geometric function theory and were acquired using subordination-based techniques in conjunction with the Hurwitz–Lerch Zeta function. We used the Hurwitz–Lerch Zeta function to investigate certain properties of multivalent meromorphic functions. The primary objective of this study is to provide an investigation on the argument properties of multivalent meromorphic functions in a punctured open unit disc and to obtain some results for its subclass.

1. Introduction
Geometric function theory (GFT) is an amalgamation of geometry along with analysis. Analytic univalent and multivalent functions are two of the most important aspects of the GFT. Investigations in these areas constitute an ancient topic in mathematics, especially in complex analysis, that has atrracted quite a few scholars due to the absolute elegance of their geometrical properties as well as numerous study opportunities. Inarguably, the most significant field of complex analysis concerning using one or many variables is the investigation of univalent functions. Univalent functions are covered in detail in the standard works of Duren [1] and Goodman [2]. The idea of analytic function subordination was first introduced by Littlewood [3], and Rogosinski [4] developed the phrase and established the fundamental results utilizing subordination. The concept of subordination was recently employed by Srivastava and Owa [5] to explore a number of fascinating properties of the generalized hypergeometric function. A generalization of differential inequalities, known as differential subordinations, was the subject of an article by Miller and Mocanu [6]. A meromorphic function is a complex-valued function that is holomorphic (analytic) on a domain except for an isolated set of poles. The article presented investigations on certain differential subordination as well as superordination that leads to a specific class of univalent and multivalent meromorphic functions within the open unit disk. There have been numerous fascinating properties of the GFT that have been studied and investigated by several authors; see [7,8].
Let class be a meromorphic multivalent function given by
which is analytic in the punctured unit disc and We note that is the class of p-valent meromorphic functions and
For two functions given by
we define the convolution of and as
A function is said to be in class (the class of p-valent meromorphically star-like functions of order in iff
Let and be analytic in . We say that is subordinate to , denoted as , if there exists an analytic function , with and for all , such that , . If the function is univalent in , as
Let and be univalent in . If is analytic in and satisfies the first differential subordination
we call a dominant solution of the differential subordination in (2) if for satisfying all (2). A dominant is called the best dominant of (2) if for all dominant (see [9]).
El-Ashwah and Bulboaca [10] defined the operator using the Hurwitz–Lerch Zeta function as follows:
Moreover, we could easily check that for all

Also, we can demonstrate that

The applications of the Hurwitz–Lerch Zeta function in defining new meaningful operators and special classes of analytic functions are numerous in geometric function theory in recent investigations involving subordination techniques. For example, consideration is given to a novel convolution complex operator defined on meromorphic functions associated with the Kummer functions and Hurwitz–Lerch Zeta-type functions in [14], and extensions to the well-known star-likeness and convexity properties are developed for this operator. A comprehensive study on a new class of meromorphic functions introduced using the Hurwitz–Lerch Zeta function can be seen in [15]. In [16], investigations were conducted into the geometric properties of a subclass of meromorphic functions as they relate to a complex linear operator pertaining to the Hurwitz–Lerch Zeta and Kummer functions. New classes of analytic functions are defined in [17] by applying the Hurwitz–Lerch Zeta function, for which typical geometric properties are established. Many authors have investigated the Hurwitz–Lerch Zeta function; see [18,19,20].
This research study aims to establish an interesting connection between some argument and subordination results of multivalent meromorphic functions defined using the linear operator and to obtain some results for the subclass of .

4. Partial Sums for Subclass
The real component of the quotients between the normalized star-like or convex functions and their sequences of partial sums has recently been found to have sharp lower bounds by Silverman [25]. Additionally, Li and Owa [26] determined the radius at which starlikeness is implied by the partial sums of the well-known Libera integral operator [27] and the normalized univalent functions in . Additionally, the works of Brickman et al. [28], Sheil-Small [29], Silvia [30], Singh and Singh [31], Yang and Owa [32], and others are cited for a number of other intriguing advancements pertaining to the partial sums of analytic univalent functions.
