1. Introduction and Preliminaries
Define as the collection of functions that fulfill the normalization requirements and . These functions are analytic in the region and are represented by the following equation:
Additionally, we define as a subset of where the functions within are univalent in Let represent the subfamily of that includes functions ℏ for which both ℏ and its derivative are univalent in A function expressed in the form (1) is classified as belonging to if both ℏ and its first m derivatives are univalent in Let and represent the subclasses of that include functions which are starlike of order and convex of order where The analytic characterizations of these two classes are provided as follows:
and
Further, and , the well-known standard class of convex functions. It is an established fact that
A function is considered to be in the class of uniformly convex functions in the unit disk if it qualifies as a normalized convex function in Furthermore, it possesses the characteristic that for every circular arc situated in with center also in the image curve remains a convex arc. The concept of uniformly convex functions, designated as was introduced by Goodman [1]. Rønning [2] showed that a function represented in the form (1) is in if and only if
He also introduced the concept of uniformly starlike functions and the analytic criteria is as follows: if and only if
In addition, we identify two important subclasses of known as and which include functions that are -uniformly convex and - starlike in respectively. The analytic representations of these two classes are provided by
and
The class was defined by Kanas and Wiśniowska [3], where they explored its geometric definition and its links to conic domains. The class was studied in [4], showing its connection to the class via the well-known Alexander relation that relates the standard classes of convex and starlike functions. For more comprehensive developments regarding the and classes, see the contributions of Kanas and Srivastava [5]. In this case, when we can conclude that
where and represent well-known classes of uniformly convex functions and parabolic starlike functions within the disk (for further information, we refer to sources [1,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17]). Notably, Srivastava and Mishra [18] conducted a comprehensive and cohesive examination of the and classes by employing a specific fractional calculus operator.

normalized by the conditions which are analytic and univalent in We denote by and the subclasses of that are, respectively, starlike of order and convex of order Silverman [19] investigated functions in the classes and Furthermore, let be the subfamily of consisting of functions ℏ for which ℏ and are univalent in . It is clear that the second coefficient of a function in cannot vanish. Therefore, class is non-empty as the function belongs to the class A function given in the form (3) is said to be in if ℏ and its first M derivatives are univalent in . If , then ℏ is said to be in .

1.2. Bessel Function
The specific solution to the second-order linear homogeneous differential equation
known as the generalized Bessel function of the first kind and order The solution is represented as and can be expressed through the infinite sum formulation given by
In this context, refers to the Euler gamma function. Baricz [21] investigated the generalized Bessel function of the first kind. In 2010, Baricz and Frasin [22] proved the univalence of specific integral operators associated with generalized Bessel functions. Furthermore, Baricz in partnership with Ponnusamy [23] identified criteria for the starlikeness and convexity of these functions (see [24] also). In 2008, Baricz [25] introduced and studied Bessel functions. When setting in (4), the Bessel functions are defined as follows
For in (4), we obtained the modified Bessel functions which are defined [25] by
The spherical Bessel functions [25] are derived for the case where in Equation (4), as defined by
Under particular conditions, Bessel functions of the first kind may be reduced to elementary functions like sine and cosine, and modified Bessel functions of the first kind can be simplified to hyperbolic sine and cosine. According to the series expansion we have ; therefore, we consider the following transformation:
By virtue of (4) following with a simple computation, it is easy to see that the function is a single-valued function for Through the application of the Pochhammer symbol, defined in terms of the Euler gamma function, we can express the function with the following series representation
for . For in (5), then the function have the following series representation

3. Conclusions
We have established the necessary conditions for Bessel functions and a Bessel operator to belong to the classes and . Notably, we have also determined the mapping properties of the integral operator The findings presented in this paper possess a universal nature and are anticipated to have various applications within the theory of special functions. Furthermore, it is possible to derive new results for the subclasses discussed in this paper in conjunction with specific probability distribution series and Mittag-Leffler functions. The sharp upper bound for the second coefficients of the functions whose derivatives are all univalent is found. Interestingly, there are no such functions in the classes and , whose second coefficient attains this sharp upper bound. The method of analysis for finding such sharp functions is still eluding.
