Abstract
We recall the normalized forms for the three Bessel-type functions; these functions are the Bessel function, Lommel function, and Struve function of the first kind. By using convolution, we define normalized forms. The essential purpose is to introduce necessary and sufficient bounds of these normalized functions so these functions are starlike and convex of order and type .

Recently, many researchers have considered specific categories of analytic functions, , that include particular functions. to determine the circumstances under which the members of exhibit certain geometric features, such as convexity, univalence, or starlikeness in . In this area, many studies about generalized hypergeometric functions are accessible in the literature [7,8]. In the field of geometric theory of functions of a complex variable, special functions like Bessel, Struve, and Lommel functions of the first kind have drawn a lot of attention. Motivated by certain previous advances, the geometric features of these special functions were recently studied. See [9,10,11,12,13], in which the univalence and starlikeness of Bessel functions of the first kind were taken into consideration. The radii of univalence, starlikeness, and convexity for the normalized forms of Bessel, Struve, and Lommel functions of the first kind have been determined in recent years; for example see [14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24].
Our study aims to provide some new conclusions about the convexity and starlikeness of the first-kind normalized Bessel, Struve, and Lommel functions. Now, we recall the first-kind Bessel function , the first-kind Struve function and first-kind Lommel function as follows, respectively.
and
Furthermore, we are aware that (see [25] (p. 217) and [26]) the homogeneous Bessel differential equation
has a solution in the form of the Bessel function
- And the Struve function is a particular solution of
This work is significant as it discusses geometric characteristics of several of the most popular special functions in mathematics (Lommel, Struve, and Bessel), such as convexity and starlikeness. We use convolution techniques for a class of univalent analytic functions to show these geometric features. After introducing the basic theorems and the required and sufficient criteria, we provide several interesting instances. We have provided figure calculations using the Maple tool.
We provide necessary and sufficient circumstances under which the first-kind normalized Lommel , first-kind normalized Struve , and first-kind normalized Bessel functions fall into certain families of analytic functions.

5. Conclusions
The familiar Bessel function, Lommel function, and Struve function of the first kind are the three Bessel-type functions for which we utilized the normalized forms. These normalized forms were defined using the convolution operation. The main goal was to provide sufficient and necessary constraints for these normalized functions, making them starlike and convex of type and order . For future work, we recommend applying the convolution technique that has been used in this article to investigate the starlikeness and convexity of some other special functions of a complex variable, such as the Mittag–Leffler function [27], Hurwitz–Lerch Zeta function [28], and hypergeometric functions [29], and also other geometric properties, such as close to convexity. Additionally, the multivalent case of functions can be studied.
