1. Introduction and Motivation
Let

Let

is defined by
For any real numbers
p and

In 1975, Schild and Silverman [
5] studied closure properties of the quasi-Hadamard product
for a starlike function of order
and convex function of order
with negative coefficients in
. In 1983, Owa [
2] obtained closure properties of quasi-Hadamard product
and
for the same function classes in
. Later Kumar [
4] improved some results in 1987. In 1992, Srivastava and Owa [
6] studied closure properties of quasi-Hadamard product
for p-valent starlike function of order
and p-valent convex function of order

. In 1996, Jae Ho Choi and Yong Chan Kim [
1] introduced the generalized Hadamard product
, and obtained the closure properties of
for a starlike function of order
and convex function of order
with negative coefficients in
. Since then, a lot of authors considered and studied closure properties and characteristics of the quasi-Hadamard product
or
for some classes of normalized analytic functions and normalized meromorphic analytic functions, see, for example, [

Although the closure properties of Hadamard product or quasi-Hadamard product have already been studied in , our focus is to introduce generalized quasi-Hadamard product, generalized differential operators, and generalized function classes on non-normalized analytic functions, and to discuss the closure properties on generalized analytic function classes.
Now by using the generalized quasi-Hadamard product
, we introduce the following differential operator
as follows:
We define the generalized differential operator
as follows:

In particular, if the function g is univalent in , then is equivalent to and .
We define two generalization classes satisfying the following subordination condition.
Definition 1. A function is in the class if and only if For suitable choices , the class reduces the following subclasses.
- (1)
Obviously, (see [18]); - (2)
- (3)
- (4)
Obviously, (see [19]).
Definition 2. Let A function is in the class if and only if Clearly, we have the following equivalence: Our object of this paper is to the closure properties of the generalized quasi-Hadamard products, the generalized differential operators for the above generalized classes and . Our results are new in this direction and they give birth to many corollaries.
2. Preliminary Results
Due to derive our main result, we need to talk about the following lemmas.
Lemma 1. If the function satisfiesthen Proof. We assume that the inequality (
5) holds true. According to Definition 1, the function

such that
where
or equivalently
it suffices to show that
Therefore, if we let

, we find from (
6) that
Hence, by the maximum modulus theorem, we have Thus we complete the proof of Lemma 1. □
Lemma 2. Let and the function .
- (1)
If , then if and only if - (2)
If , then if and only if
The result is sharp for the function given by Proof. Since according to Lemma 1 we only need to prove the ‘only if’ part of this Lemma.
Now let us prove the necessity of case (1).
Let
. Then it satisfies (
6) or equivalently
Since
, we have
Choose values of
z on the real axis so that
is real. Upon clearing the denominator in (
8) and letting
through real values, we obtain (
7).
Similar to the above proof for case (1), we can prove that case (2) is true. Thus we complete the proof of Lemma 2. □
Using arguments similar to those in the proof of Lemmas 1 and 2, we can prove the following Lemmas 3 and 4.
Lemma 3. Let If the function satisfiesthen . Lemma 4. Let and the function .
- (1)
If , then if and only if - (2)
If , then if and only if
The result is sharp for the function given by 4. Corollaries and Consequences

In this paper, we mainly study the closure properties of the generalized quasi-Hadamard products, the generalized differential operator and its related special operators for and of analytic functions with negative and missing coefficients. Also, we give two examples and six corollaries to illustrate our results obtained. In the future, we can consider to extend some classical analytic function classes (such as starlike, convex, close-to-convex) in , and discuss the closure properties of the generalized quasi-Hadamard products.
