A Subclass of q -Starlike Functions Deﬁned by Using a Symmetric q -Derivative Operator and Related with Generalized Symmetric Conic Domains

: In this paper, the concepts of symmetric q -calculus and conic regions are used to deﬁne a new domain (cid:94) Ω k , q , α , which generalizes the symmetric conic domains. By using the domain (cid:94) Ω k , q , α , we deﬁne a new subclass of analytic and q -starlike functions in the open unit disk U and establish some new results for functions of this class. We also investigate a number of useful properties and characteristics of this subclass, such as coefﬁcients estimates, structural formulas, distortion inequalities, necessary and sufﬁcient conditions, closure and subordination results. The proposed approach is also compared with some existing methods to show the reliability and effectiveness of the proposed methods.


Introduction
Let A be the set of all analytic functions in open unit disk U = {w ∈ C : |w| < 1} and every g ∈ A have the series representation of the form: Let S ⊂ A be the set of functions which are univalent in U (see [1]). Goodman [2] introduced the class of uniformly convex (U CV ) and uniformly starlike functions (U ST ) that are defined as: g ∈ U CV ⇐⇒ g ∈ A and Re 1 + wg (w) g (w) > wg (w) g (w) , w ∈ U and: g ∈ U ST ⇐⇒ g ∈ A and Re wg (w) g(w) > wg (w) g(w) − 1 , w ∈ U.
Later in [3], for k ≥ 0, Kanas and Wisniowska introduced the class of k-uniformly convex (k − U CV ) and k-uniformly starlike functions (k − U ST ) that are defined as: g ∈ k − U CV ⇐⇒ g ∈ A and Re 1 + wg (w) g (w) > k wg (w) g (w) , w ∈ U and: g ∈ k − U ST ⇐⇒ g ∈ A and wg (w) g(w) > k wg (w) g(w) − 1 , w ∈ U.
A function g ∈ A is said to be subordinate to h, written as (g ≺ h), if there exists a Schwarz function u(w) analytic in U with: u(0) = 0 and |u(w)| < 1, such that g(w) = h(u(w)). If h(w) is univalent in U, then (see [1,4]): The convolution (Hadamard product) of g(w) and h(w) is defined as: Let P be the class of Carathéodory functions, consisting of all analytic functions p that satisfy the condition Re(p(w)) > 0, w ∈ U and: In [3,5], Kanas and Wisniowska defined the conic domain Ω k,α , k ≥ 0, 0 ≤ α < 1, as: Note that Ω k,α is such that 1 ∈ Ω k,α and ∂Ω k,α is curve defined by: Note that for k = 0, 0 < κ < 1, κ = 1, and κ > 1, the domain ∂Ω k,α represents a right half plane {l ∈ C : Rel > α}, the right branch of a hyperbola, a parabola and an ellipse, respectively. The functions p k,α (w) are the extremal functions for conic domain Ω k,α , defined by: where A(k) = 2 π arccos k, t ∈ (0, 1), k = cosh πK (t) 4K(t) , and K(t) is the first kind of Legendre's complete elliptic integral; for details see [3,5,6]. Indeed, from (3), we have: and: Quantum theory is an important tool to deal with complicated and difficult information. The notion of quantum theory has wide applications in many fields such as special functions and quantum physics. The study of the theory of q-calculus and its numerous applications in various fields has gained the great interest of researchers. In 1909, Jackson [7] was among the first few researchers who defined the q-analogous of the derivative and integral operator as well as providing some of their applications. Later on, several researchers suggested many applications of q-analysis in mathematics and related fields; see [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. Recently, in [17], Srivastava discussed operators of basic (or q-)calculus and fractional q-calculus and their applications in the geometric function theory of complex analysis. Keeping in view the significance of q-operators rather than of ordinary operators and because of the wide range of applications of q-calculus, many researchers exhaustively studied q-calculus in different fields; see [8,[18][19][20].
The symmetric q-calculus finds its applications in different fields, specially in quantum mechanics; see [21,22].
The objective of this paper is to further develop the theory of symmetric q-calculus operators in geometric function theory. Here we will give a few essential definitions and the concepts of q-calculus and symmetric q-calculus, which will be useful in subsequent work. and: [δ] q = m−1 t=0 q t = 1 + q + q 2 + · · · + q m−1 (δ = m ∈ N). In addition, the q-factorial [m] q ! is defined by: and: [m] q ! = 1, (m = 0).
Furthermore, the q-gamma function is defined as:

Definition 2.
For m ∈ N, the symmetric q-number is defined as: Note that the symmetric q-numbers cannot be reduced to q-numbers.
Throughout this paper, we assume 0 < q < 1, and U is a unit disk unless otherwise stated.

Definition 3.
For any m ∈ Z + ∪ {0}, the symmetric q-number shift factorial is defined as:

Definition 4 ([7]). Let g ∈ A.
Then the q-derivative operator or q-difference operator are defined by: Using the series representation of g, (9) can be written as: [m] q a m w m−1 .
Note that: .

). Let g ∈ A and 0 < q < 1, then g ∈ S * q if g(0) = g (0) = 1 and: Identically by utilizing the principle of subordination, the condition (10) can be written as (see [16]): By taking inspiration from the above cited work [24] we define the following symmetric q-starlike S * q function as: Let g ∈ A and 0 < q < 1, then g ∈ S * q if g(0) = g (0) = 1 and: Using the principle of subordination, the condition (11) can be written as: where: Geometrically, the function p(w) ∈ k − P q,γ takes on all values from the domain Ω k,q,α , given by: where: Recently many researchers [3,6,19,20,[26][27][28][29] investigated several classes of analytic and univalent functions in different types of domains. For example, let p(w) be analytic in U and p(0) = 1, then: 1−w , then the image domain of U under p(w) lies in right half plane, see [2].
1+Bw , then the image of U under p(w) lies inside a circle centered on real axis, see [30].
(iii) In [3,5] Kanas showed that if p(w) ≺ p k,α (w), then the image of U under p(w) lies inside the conic domains Ω k and Ω k,α .
By taking inspiration from the above cited work, we introduce the following classes: Definition 9. Let k ∈ [0, ∞), q ∈ (0, 1) and 0 ≤ α < 1. A function p(w) is said to be in the class k − P q (α) if and only if: where: Geometrically, the function p(w) ∈ k − P q (α) takes all values in the domain Ω k,q,α , which is defined as: It can be seen that: (i) For q → 1−, we have Ω k,q,α = Ω k,α , see [5].
(iii) If α = 0 and q → 1−, then k − P q (α) = P (p k ), where P (p k ) is the well-known class of function initiated by Kanas [3]. (iv) Let α = 0, k = 0, and q → 1−; then k − P q = P. Definition 10. A function g ∈ A is said to be in class k − U ST (q, α), if it satisfies the condition: We T is the subclass A of consisting of functions of the form:

Main Results
Theorem 1. Let g ∈ A of the form (1) and: Then g ∈ k − U ST (q, α).
Proof. Assume that (17) holds. It is sufficient to show that: Consider: The last expression is bounded above by 1 − α, as the inequality (17) is true. Hence the proof of Theorem 1 is completed If q → 1− with 0 ≤ α < 1, then we have the following known result proven by Shams et al., see [31]. Corollary 1. Let g ∈ A be of the form (1) and g be in the class k − U ST (α), if it satisfies the condition: where 0 ≤ α < 1 and k ≥ 0.

Theorem 2.
Let k ∈ [0, ∞), q ∈ (0, 1) and 0 ≤ α < 1. A necessary and sufficient condition for g of the form (16) to be in the class k − U ST − (q, α) can be formulated as follows: The result is sharp for the function: Proof. In view of Theorem 1, it remains to prove the necessity only. If g ∈ k − U ST − (q, α), then in virtue of the fact that |Re(w)| ≤ |w|, we have: Letting w → 1−, along the real axis, we obtain the desired inequality (18).
Proof. Suppose that: where: and we find k − U ST − (q, α).
Conversely, assume that k − U ST − (q, α). Since: we can set: |a m | and: Then: This completes the proof of Theorem 3.
Theorem 6. The class k − U ST − (q, α) is closed under convex linear combination.
Proof. Let the functions h(w) and g(w) be in class k − U ST − (q, α). Suppose g(w) is given by (16) and: where a m , d m ≥ 0. It is sufficient to prove that, for 0 ≤ λ ≤ 1, the function: is also in the class k − U ST − (q, α). From (16), (31) and (32), we have: By using Theorem 2, we obtain: By using Theorem 2 and inequality (34), we have H ∈ k − U ST − (q, α). This completes the proof of Theorem 6.

Conclusions
In this paper, we used the concept of symmetric quantum calculus and conic regions to define a new domain Ω k,q,α , which generalizes the symmetric conic domains. Additionally, by using certain generalized symmetric conic domains we defined and investigated a new subclasses k − U ST (q, α) and k − U ST − (q, α) of analytic and q-starlike functions in the open unit disk U. We also derived several properties and characteristics of newly defined subclasses of analytic functions such as coefficients estimates, structural formulas, distortion inequalities, necessary and sufficient conditions, closure theorems and subordination results. We have highlighted some consequences of our main results as corollaries.
