Abstract
The motive behind this article is to apply the notions of q-derivative by introducing some new families of harmonic functions associated with the symmetric circular region. We develop a new criterion for sense preserving and hence the univalency in terms of q-differential operator. The necessary and sufficient conditions are established for univalency for this newly defined class. We also discuss some other interesting properties such as distortion limits, convolution preserving, and convexity conditions. Further, by using sufficient inequality, we establish sharp bounds of the real parts of the ratios of harmonic functions to its sequences of partial sums. Some known consequences of the main results are also obtained by varying the parameters.
1. Introduction
To better understand the concepts used in our key findings, some of the basic relevant Geometric Function Theory literature needs to be included and studied here. To do this, we begin with notation which indicates the harmonic functions class in , where Also, let be denoted by the family of functions which have the series expansion:
where and are holomorphic functions with the following series expansion:
The series defined in (1) and (2) are convergent in the open unit disc . Also, let’s select the symbol which contains all functions (say ) that are univalent holomorphic in and satisfy the relationship . Further, the notation denotes the family of complex-valued functions which are sense preserving and univalent in . Clearly, coincides with the set of normalized univalent holomorphic functions if becomes zero in . Clunie and Sheil-Small [1] and Sheil-Small [2] studied the class along with some of their subfamilies. Particularly, they explored and studied the families of starlike harmonic and convex harmonic functions in , which are given as follows:
and
where
Here the symbol “≺” represents the familiar subordination between holomorphic functions represented by “” and is defined as; two holomorphic functions and are connected by the subordination relationship, if a holomorphic function u occurs with the limitations and , in such a way that . Additionally, if is univalent, then we obtain:
In 2015, Dziok [3] introduced a family of Janowski harmonic functions with the help of the concepts established in [4] and this class is defined by;
where is given by (3). The families and with the restriction were examined by Jahangiri [5] and Ahuja [6]. Moreover, for we have the most basic families and of functions which are starlike and convex in respectively, for any For more work on harmonic mappings, see [7,8,9,10].
Quantum calculus or just q-calculus is the classical calculus without the limit notion. This theory was originated by Jackson [11,12]. The researchers were inspired by the learning of q-calculus because of its contemporary use in various claims; for example in differential equations, quantum theory, the theory of special functions, analytic number theory, combinatorics, operator theory, numerical analysis, and other related theories, see [13,14]. Just as q-calculus has been used in other branches of Mathematics, the applications of this concept have been widely used to analyze the geometric nature of various analytical functions in Geometric functions theory. In this regard, Ismail et al. [15] published the first paper by exploring the geometry of q-starlike functions. This concept was further expanded by Agrawal and Sahoo [16] by introducing the q-starlike functions family with some order. Due to this advancement in functions theory, many researchers were inspired. They made significant contributions which gradually enhanced the attractiveness of this research area for potential researchers. For more literature on quantum calculus, see [17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25].
For the given , the q-analog derivative of f is defined as:
Making use of (1) and (4), one can get easily for
where
In 1956 Sakaguchi [26] established the family of holomorphic univalent functions in which are starlike with respect to symmetrical points; a holomorphic function f is said to be starlike with respect to symmetric points if
Using this idea of Sakaguchi, Cho and Dziok [27] recently introduced the family of functions such that
where is given by (3). They investigated some useful properties such as coefficient estimates, subordination properties, distortion theorems, and integral representation for the functions belongs to the family . The family generalizes various known families discussed earlier by many researchers, see [28,29,30,31]. Motivated by the above work, we now define the following subfamilies of Janowski harmonic mappings involving q-derivative. Before definition and to prevent repetitions we will assume (except as otherwise stated) that
Definition 1.
Let be the family of functions such that
where
Additionally let’s describe
Special Cases:

- (iii).
- Also the following familieswere discussed by Dziok in [3]. Similarly, the families and were explored in [5,6].
In this article, we obtain some interesting properties for the newly described classes including necessary and sufficient conditions, distortion limits, problems with partial sums, convolutions and convexity conditions. Several implications of the key results are also given.
2. Necessary and Sufficient Conditions
Theorem 1.
Let be expressed in series expansion (1) and if the following inequality
holds, then with
Proof.
For , we have and To prove that is sense preserving and locally univalent, we consider
Hence, due to the result of Lewy [9], the function f in is thus orientation-preserving and locally univalent. Now we show that f is univalent in . Let and Then
To prove that we have to show that
It is easy to see that and This implies that
Hence, . Now let has the expansion form (1) and then let we presume that there is so that or . Also by using
and
we have
Similarly for . Therefore by using (8) along with the above facts, we obtain
and so
Now by the result proved by Lewy [9], the function f in is thus orientation-preserving and locally univalent. Further, if with then
Hence, by the virtue of (11) and (12) along with the triangle inequality, we have
This yields that f is univalent in and so . Thus if and only if a holomorphic function u occurs with and so that
or, alternatively
Hence, it is enough to establish that
for Setting , we have
where we have used (8). Thus □
Substituting particular values of the parameters used in this result, we achieve the following corollaries:
Corollary 1.
Let be expressed in the series expansion (1) and if the inequality
is satisfied with
then
Proof.
The result follows by taking , and in the above Theorem. □
Corollary 2.
Let be expressed in the series expansion (1) and if
holds true with
then
Proof.
By putting and in the above Theorem, we obtain the required result. □
Motivated by the work of Silverman [32], we now establish the family of functions of the form (1) such that
Thus (1) and (2) yields with
Also, we define the families
Now we are going to confirm that the condition (8) is also sufficient for .
Theorem 2.
Let has the power series expansion (14). Then if and only if (8) holds true.
Proof.
To prove our result, it is enough to establish that each function satisfies the relation (8). Let . Then it must satisfy (13). That is; for
Setting , we have
It is clear that for the denominator of left hand side of (15) can not be zero. Further, it is positive for . Thus from (15), we get
It is also clear that the partial sums sequence connected with the series is a non-decreasing sequence and with the use of (16), it is bounded by . So is convergent and
which yields assertion (8). □
Example 1.
Consider the function
then we can easily obtain
Hence,
By using the above facts, the following two results are easily obtained.
Corollary 3.
Let be expressed in series expansion form (1) and if
then
Proof.
Let be of the form (1) and set
with
Then by using inequality (17) together with Theorem 1, we obtain and hence by Alexandar type relation
we get the required result. □
Corollary 4.
Let be the series expansion form (14). Then if and only if (17) is satisfied.
Proof.
Using the relation (18) and Theorem 2, we easily get the required result. □
3. Investigation of Partial Sums Problems
In this section, we study the partial sums of some harmonic functions that belong to the family We develop certain new results which provide relationship between harmonic functions to its sequences of partial sums.
Let with and are expressed in the form (2). Then the sequences of partial sum of functions f are given by
and
Here we determine sharp lower bounds of
and
Theorem 3.
Let f be of the form (1). If f satisfies the condition (8), then
and
where
and
The above results are best possible for the given function
where is given by (22).
Proof.
Let us denote
The inequality (19) will be obtained if we can prove and for this we need to prove the below inequality:
In other words
if and only if
By the virtue of (8), it would be enough to ensure that the left hand side of (24) is bounded above by
and this is equal to
which is true due to relation (22). To prove that the function
provides the best possible result. We note for that
Now to prove (20), let us write
Then
if and only if
The inequality (25) is true only if the left side of this inequality is bounded above by
and hence the proof is completed due to the use of (8). □
Theorem 4.
Let where and are given by (2). If f satisfies the condition (8) then
and
where is given by (21) and
Equalities are obtain by using the function
Proof.
The evidence of this specific result is analogous to that of Theorem 3, and is therefore exempted. □
Theorem 5.
Let be of the form (1). If f fulfills the inequality (8), then
and
where is given by (21). Equalities are obtained for the function given in (23).
Proof.
In order to show (30), let us write
Thus for the proof of inequality (19) it is enough to prove the following inequality:
Now consider the left hand side of (32) and then by simple computation, we have
Since, from the use of (8), we observe that the denominator of the last inequality is positive. Thus the right hand side of the last inequality is bounded above by one if and only if the following inequality hold
Finally, to prove the inequality in (30), it suffices to show that the left hand side of (33) is bounded by
which is equivalent to
and the last inequality is true because of (28). For the sharpness, let’s consider
which provides the sharp result. We note for that
Similarly we obtain the assertion (31). □
Theorem 6.
Let with and are expressed by (2). If f satisfies the condition (8), then
and
where is given by (28). These estimates are sharp for the function given by (29).
Proof.
The proof is identical to that of Theorem 5 proof and is thus excluded. □
4. Further Properties of a Class
Theorem 7.
If then for
and
Proof.
Let with and be the form (2). Using Theorem 2 and letting
This proves (36). On similar lines one can easily achieve (37). □
Theorem 8.
A function if and only if
where
and for such that
In particular the points are called the extreme points of the closed convex hull of the class denoted by
Proof.
Let f be given by (38). Then, using (39), we can easily attain
which by Theorem 2 proves that . Since for this function
Thus Conversely, let , where and are of the form (14). Set
Then by using (39) along with the given hypothesis, we have
which is of the form (38). This proves Theorem 8. □
Theorem 9.
If then
Proof.
Let
and
Then
Since by Theorem 2, we have and Therefore
By Theorem 2, it follows that □
Theorem 10.
The class is closed under convex combination.
Proof.
For let be given by
Then by (8), we have
For the convex combination of is
Then on using Theorem 2, we can write
and so □
5. Conclusions
Using the concepts of quantum calculus, we introduced some new subfamilies of Janowski harmonic mapping with symmetrical points. We studied some useful problems, including necessary and sufficient conditions, distortion limits, problems with partial sums, convolutions and convexity conditions for the newly defined classes of functions. For these classes, problems like Topological properties, integral mean inequalities, and their applications are open for the researchers to determine. Further, these problems can be studied for classes of meromorphic type harmonic functions as well.
