1. Introduction
LetAdenote the class of the functions f of the form
f(z) =z+ ∞
∑
k=2akzk (1)
which are analytic in the open unit discU={z∈C:|z|<1}. LetH(U)be the space of holomorphic functions inU. BySandKwe denote the subclasses of functions inAwhich are univalent and convex inU, respectively. LetPbe the well-known Caratheodory class of normalized functions with positive real part inU.
The Hadamard product or convolution of the functions
f(z) =z+∑∞k=2akzk and g(z) =z+∑∞k=2bkzk is given by
(f ∗g)(z) =z+∑∞k=2akbkzk, (z∈U) We now define a new generalized multiplier differential operator.
Definition 1. Let m ∈ N0 = N∪ {0}, α,β,λ,µ,ρ ≥ 0, 0≤ γ ≤ λ, 0 < ϕ≤ 1, α+β >0. Then for
f ∈A, we define a new generalized multiplier operator Dm
λ,µ(α,β,γ,ϑ)by D0λ,µ(α,β,γ,ϑ)f(z) = f(z),
D1λ,µ(α,β,γ,ϑ)f(z) = [α+β+γ−(2ϑ−1)(λ+µ)]f(z)+[(2ϑ−1)(λ+µ)−γ]z f 0(z)+

Remark 1. If f(z)is given by (1), then from Definition1, we obtain

From (2) it follows thatDλ,µm (α,β,γ,ϑ)f(z)can be written in terms of convolution as

Definition 2. Let m∈N0=N∪ {0},v∈[0, 1), α,β,λ,µ≥0, 0≤γ≤λ, 0<ϕ≤1, α+β>0. Then
a function f ∈A is said to be in the class Rmλ,µ(α,β,γ,ϑ), if it satisfies the condition <hDm

The main object of this paper is to present a systematic investigation for the classRmλ,µ(α,β,γ,ϑ).
In particular, for this function class, we derive an inclusion result, structural formula, extreme points and other interesting properties.
2. Preliminaries
In order to prove our results, we will make use of the following lemmas.
Lemma 1. [13] Let h∈K, and Let A≥0. Suppose that B(z)and D(z)are analytic inU, with D(0) =0and <(B(z))≥A+4
D(z) h0(0)
, z∈U.
If an analytic function p with p(0) =h(0)satisfies
Az2p00(z) +B(z)zp0(z) +p(z) +D(z)≺h(z), z∈U, then
p(z)≺h(z), z∈U. Lemma 2. [14] Let q be a convex function inUand let
h(z) =q(z) +vzq0(z),
wherev>0. If p∈ H(U)with
p(z)≺q(z), z∈U, and this result is sharp.
Lemma 3. [15] If p(z)is analytic inU, p(0) = 1and−1(z)and ,<(p(z)) > 12, then for any function F analytic inU, the function F∗p takes values in the convex hull of F(U).
Note that the symbol ”≺” stands for subordination throughout this paper.
3. Main Results
Theorem 1. Let m∈ N0=N∪ {0},v∈[0, 1), α,β,λ,µ≥0, 0≤γ≤λ, 0< ϕ≤1, α+β>0, then
Rmλ,µ+1(α,β,γ,ϑ)⊂Rmλ,µ(α,β,γ,ϑ).
Proof.Let f ∈Rmλ,µ+1(α,β,γ,ϑ). By using the properties of the operatorDmλ,µ(α,β,γ,ϑ), we get

Differentiating (6) with respect toz, we obtain

where
p(z) = (Dλ,µm (α,β,γ,ϑ)f(z))0.
Sincef ∈Rmλ,µ+1(α,β,γ,ϑ), by using Definition2and (7), we have <np(z) +h(2ϑ−1)(αλ++βµ)+2λγip0(z) +h γλ

p00(z)o≺ 1+(12v−−z1)z ≡h(z).
From Lemma1, with A= γλ
α+β, B(z) =
(2ϑ−1)(λ+µ)+2λγ
α+β , and D(z) =0, we havep(z) ≺ h(z), which implies that<n(Dm

ClearlyRmλ,µ(α,β,γ,ϑ)⊂Rmλ,µ−1(α,β,γ,ϑ)⊂...⊂R0λ,µ(α,β,γ,ϑ)⊂S(see [16,17]).
Now we will show that the setRmλ,µ(α,β,γ,ϑ)is convex (see [18]).
Theorem 2. The set Rmλ,µ(α,β,γ,ϑ)is convex.
Proof. Let the functions
fi(z) =z+∑∞k=2aizk (i=1, 2)
be in the classRmλ,µ(α,β,γ,ϑ). It is sufficient to show that the functionh(z) =χ1f1(z) +χ2f2(z), with
χ1andχ2nonnegative andχ1+χ2=1, is in the classRmλ,µ(α,β,γ,ϑ).
Since
h(z) =z+∑∞k=2(χ1ak1+χ2ak2)z k,
[Dmλ,µ(α,β,γ,ϑ)h(z)]0=1+∑∞k=2k(χ1ak1+χ2ak2)[v m

hence

Sincef1,f2∈Rmλ,µ(α,β,γ,ϑ), this implies that

Using (9) in (8), we obtain
<Dm
λ,µ(α,β,γ,ϑ)h(z)

>1+v(χ1+χ2)−(χ1+χ2)
and sinceχ1+χ2=1, the theorem is proved.
Theorem 3. Let q be convex function with q(0) = 1and let h be a function of the form h(z) = q(z) +
zq0(z), z ∈ U.If f ∈ A satisfies the differential subordination(Dmλ,µ(α,β,γ,ϑ))0 ≺ h(z), z ∈ U, then Dmλ,µ(α,β,γ,ϑ)/z≺q(z)and the result is sharp.
Proof. If we let p(z) = Dλ,µm (α,β,γ,ϑ)/z, z∈ U, then we get(Dλ,µm (α,β,γ,ϑ))0 = p(z) +zp0(z). So
the subordination(Dmλ,µ(α,β,γ,ϑ))0 ≺ h(z), z ∈ U, becomesp(z) +zp0(z) = q(z) +zq0(z), z ∈ U. Hence from Lemma2, we have(Dmλ,µ(α,β,γ,ϑ))/z≺q(z). The result is sharp.
4. Structural Formula
In this section, a structural formula, extreme points and coefficient bounds for functions in Rmλ,µ(α,β,γ,ϑ)are obtained.
Theorem 4. A function f ∈ A is in the class Rmλ,µ(α,β,γ,ϑ)if and only if it can be expressed as
f(z) = "
z+ ∞
∑
k=21 Ωm λ,µ(α,β,γ,ϑ) zk # ∗ Z

dσ(ζ), (10)
whereΩmλ,µ(α,β,γ,ϑ)is given by (3) andσis a positive probability measure defined on the unit circleT = {ζ∈C:|ζ|<1}.
Proof. From (4) it follows that, f ∈Rm
λ,µ(α,β,γ,ϑ)if and only if
(Dm
λ,µ(α,β,γ,ϑ)f(z)) 0−
v 1−v ∈ P.
Using Hergoltz integral representation of functions in Caratheodory classP(see [19] and [20]), there exists a positive Borel probability measureσsuch that
(Dmλ,µ(α,β,γ,ϑ)f(z))0−v
1−v =

|ζ|=1 1+ζz
1−ζzdσ(ζ), z∈U, which is equivalent to
(Dmλ,µ(α,β,γ,ϑ)f(z))0 =

|ζ|=1
1+ (1−2v)ζz
1−ζz dσ(ζ), z∈U. (11)
Integrating (11), we obtain

dσ(ζ). (12)
Equality (10) follows now, from (4), (5) and (12). Since the converse of this deductive process is also true, we have proved our theorem.
Corollary 1. The extreme points of the class Dmλ,µ(α,β,γ,ϑ)are
f(z)ζ =z+2(1−v)ζ ∞
∑
k=2(ζz)k
kΩm
λ,µ(α,β,γ,ϑ)

Proof. Consider the functions
gζ(z) =z+2(1−v)ζ∑∞k=2(ζz)k
k and gσ(z) =
R
|ζ|=1gζ(z)dσ(ζ).
Since the mapσ→gζis one-to-one, making use of (5), (6) and (12), the assertion follows from (10) (see
[21]).
From Corollary2, we can obtain coefficient bounds for the functions in the classDm
λ,µ(α,β,γ,ϑ).
Corollary 2. If f ∈Rmλ,µ(α,β,γ,ϑ)is given by (1), then |ak| ≤ kΩm2(1−v)
λ,µ(α,β,γ,ϑ)
, k≥2. The result is sharp.
Proof. The coefficient bounds are maximized at an extreme point. Therefore, the result follows from (13).

and

.
5. Convolution Property
in this part, we prove the analogue of the Polya- Schoenberg conjecture for the class Rmλ,µ(α,β,γ,ϑ).
Theorem 5. The class Rmλ,µ(α,β,γ,ϑ)is closed under the convolution with a convex function. That is, if
f ∈Rm
λ,µ(α,β,γ,ϑ)and g∈C then f∗g∈Rmλ,µ(α,β,γ,ϑ).
Proof. It is known that ifgis convex univalent inU, then (see [13])
Using convolution properties, we have
<Rmλ,µ(α,β,γ,ϑ)(f ∗g)(z) 0
=<
[Rmλ,µ(α,β,γ,ϑ)(f)]0∗g(z)
z
(14)
and the result follows by application of Lemma3.
Corollary 4. The class Rmλ,µ(α,β,γ,ϑ)is invariant under Bernardi integral operator.
Proof. LetRmλ,µ(α,β,γ,ϑ). The Bernardi integral operator is defined as (see [22]):
Fc(f)(z) = 1z+kc Rz
0 tc
−1f(t)dt, (c∈A, c>−1). It is easy to check thatFc(f)(z) = (f ∗g)(z)where
g(z) =∑∞k=1k1++cczk = 1+c zk
Rz
0 t
c
1−tf(t)dt, (z∈U, c>−1).
Since the function φ(z) = 1−zz , z ∈ U is convex, it follows (see [23]) that the function g is also convex. From Theorem 5, we obtain Fc(f) ∈ Rmλ,µ(α,β,γ,ϑ). Therefore, Fc[Rmλ,µ(α,β,γ,ϑ)] ⊂
Rmλ,µ(α,β,γ,ϑ).
