Forλ >−1 andμ≥0, we consider a liner operatorIμλon the classAof analytic functions in the unit disk defined by the convolutionfμ−1∗fz, wherefμ 1−μz2F1a, b, c;zμzz2F1a, b, c;z, and introduce a certain new subclass ofAusing this operator. Several interesting properties of these classes are obtained.

thenfzis said to be strongly convex of order βand typeαinU, and denoted byCα, β. It is obvious that fz ∈ A belongs toCα, β if and if zfz ∈ S∗α, β. Further, we note thatS∗α,1≡S∗αandCα,1≡Cαwhich are, respectively, starlike and convex univalent functions of orderα.
LetP denote the class of functions of the formpz 1p1z· · · analytic inUwhich satisfy the condition Re{Pz}>0.
For functions f given by 1.1 and gz z ∞k2bkzk, let f∗gz denote the Hadamard productor convolutionoffzandgz, defined by

It is obvious thatD0fz fz,D1fz zfz, and

The operatorDδfis called theδth-order Ruscheweyh derivative off. Recently, K. I. Noor2 and K. I. Noor and M. A. Noor3 defined and studied an integral operatorIn : A → A, analogous toDδfzas follows.
Letfnz/1−zn1,n∈N0,andfn−1zbe defined such that

Then

We note that I0fz zfz,I1fz fz. The operator In is called the Noor integral of
nth order off see 4,5, which is an important tool in defining several classes of analytic functions. In recent years, it has been shown that Noor integral operator has fundamental and significant applications in the geometric function theory.

Kim and Shon9considered linear operatorLμ : A → Adefined byLμa, b, cfz

We now introduce a functionfμ−1 given by

The operator Iλ

forλ >−1,μ≥0, 0≤γ <1, and Rea >1−γ.
Also, by takingφz 1z/1−zβ 0< β≤1inTheorem 2.4and inTheorem 2.5, we have the following.
