On a Subclass of P-Valent Functions Defined by a Generalized Salagean Operator

Abstract

In recent times, the study of analytic functions has been useful in solving many problems in mechanics, Laplace equation, electrostatics, etc. An analytic function is said to be univalent in a domain if it does not take the same value twice in that domain while an analytic function is said to be p-valent in a domain if it does not take the same value more than p times in that domain. Many researches on properties of p-valent functions using Salagean, Al Oboudi and Opoola differential operators have been reviewed. The aim of this research is to obtain the properties of new subclasses of p-valent functions defined by Salagean differential operator and its objectives are to obtain new subclasses of p-valent functions and the necessary properties for the new subclasses. This research will be a contribution to knowledge in geometric function theory and provide new tools of applications in fluid dynamics and differential equations. This paper introduces new subclasses of p – valent functions defined by Al –Oboudi differential operator. Finally, the paper studies some interesting results including subordination, coefficient inequalities, starlikeness and convexity conditions, Hadamard product and certain properties of neighbourhoods of the new subclasses of p-valent functions. Theorems were used to establish certain conditions of the new subclasses of p-valent functions.
