Abstract
In our present investigation, we use the technique of convolution and quantum calculus to study the Salagean q-differential operator. By using this operator and the concept of the Janowski function, we define certain new classes of analytic functions. Some properties of these classes are discussed, and numerous sharp results such as coefficient estimates, distortion theorem, radii of star-likeness, convexity, close-to-convexity, extreme points, and integral mean inequalities of functions belonging to these classes are obtained and studied.

1. Introduction
Let be the open unit disk and be the class of all functions f that are analytic in E and normalized by and . Thus, each has the Maclaurin’s series expansion of the form:
The class of all such functions that are in and univalent in E is denoted by see [1]. A domain D, which is the subset of a complex set, is star shaped about any point if any other point of D joining with by line segment lies with in while the domain D is said to be convex if and only if it is starlike with respect to each of its points. The subclasses of which are starlike and convex, are denoted by and , respectively.
In 1936, Roberston [2] introduced the classes of starlike and convex functions of order In 1991, Goodman [1,3] introduced the classes of uniformly-starlike and uniformly-convex functions, which were extensively studied by Ronning and independently by Ma and Minda [4,5]. In 1999, Kanas and Wisniowska [6,7] introduced the classes of k-uniformly convex and k-uniformly starlike functions denoted by and respectively defined as:
The class was discussed earlier in [8], also with some extra restrictions and without geometrical interpretation by Bharati et al. [9]. Several authors investigated the properties of the subclasses of and with their generalizations in several directions; for a detailed study, see [6,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18].
If f and g are analytic in E, we say that f is subordinate to g, written as , if there exists a Schwarz function w, which is analytic in E with and such that . Furthermore, if the function g is univalent in E, then we have the following equivalence:
For some detail, see [1,19]. Using the concept of subordination, Janowski introduced the class . A given analytic function h with is said to belong to the class if and only if:
Geometrically, a function maps the open unit disk E onto the domain defined by:
This domain represents an open circular disk centered on the real axis with diameter end points and with
Let Then, the convolution or Hadamard product of f of the form (1) and g of the form:
is denoted by and defined as:
In the beginning of the last century, studies on q-difference equations appeared extensively especially by Carmichael [20], Jackson [21], Mason [22], and Trjitzinsky [23]. Research work in connection with function theory and q-theory together was first introduced by Ismail et al. [24]. Till now, only non-significant interest in this area has been shown, although it deserves more attention. Many differential and integral operators can be written in terms of convolution; for detail, we refer to [25,26,27,28,29,30]. It is worth mentioning that the technique of convolution helps researchers in further investigation of the geometric properties of analytic functions. For any non-negative integer n, the q-integer number n denoted by , is defined by:
For non-negative integer n, the q-number shift factorial is defined by:
We note that when reduces to the classical definition of factorial. Throughout this paper, we will assume q to be a fixed number between zero and one. The q-difference operator related to the q-calculus was introduced by Andrews et al. [31]. For the q-derivative operator or q-difference operator is defined as:
It can easily be seen that for and
Recently, Govindaraj and Sivasubramanian defined the Salagean q-differential operator [32] as:
Let . Then, the Salagean q-differential operator is defined as:
A simple calculation implies:
where:
using (3) and (4), the power series of for f of the form (1) is given by:
Note that:
which is the familiar Salagean derivative [8].
2. Methods
By taking motivation from the above-cited work, we introduce a new subclass This class is introduced by using the Salagean q-differential operator with the concept of Janowski functions. Our defined class generalizes many classes by choosing particular values of the parameters involved in defining this class of functions.
Definition 1.
Let denote the subclass of consisting of functions f of the form (1) and satisfy the following subordination condition,
where
By taking specific values of parameters, we obtain many important subclasses studied by various authors in earlier papers. Here, we enlist some of them.

Definition 2.
Let denote the subclass of functions of of the form:
Further, we define the class .
For suitable choices of the parameters B, and j, we can get various known or new subclasses of . For example, we have the following.

3. Main Results
In this section, we will prove our main results.
Coefficient estimates:
Theorem 1.
A function f of the form (1) is in the class if:
Proof.
It is sufficient to show that:

We have:
This last expression is bounded above by one if:

Radii of starlikeness, convexity and close-to-convexity:

(ii) f is convex of order φ in where:
(iii) f is close to convex of order φ in where:
Each of these results is sharp for the function f given by (9).
Proof.
It is sufficient to show that:
where is given by (11). Indeed, we find from (6) that:
Thus, we have:
if and only if:
From Theorem 2, the relation (14) is true if:
That is, if:
This implies that:

To prove (12) and (13), it is sufficient to show that:

By setting:
and using (7), we obtain:
This completes the proof. □
4. Conclusions
Here, in our present investigation, we have successfully introduced a new subclass of analytic functions in open unit disk E. Many properties and characteristics of this newly-defined function class such as coefficient estimates, distortion theorem, radii of star-likeness, convexity, close-to-convexity, extreme points, and integral mean inequalities have been studied. We also highlighted a numbers of known consequences, which are already present in the literature.
