1. Introduction
A continuous functionf uivis a complex-valued harmonic function in a complex domain
Cif bothuandvare real harmonic inC. In any simply connected domainD⊆C, we can write
f hg, wherehandgare analytic inD. We callhthe analytic part andg the co-analytic part off. Note thatfhgreduces tohif the coanalytic partgis zero.
For p ≥ 1, denote byHp the set of all multivalent harmonic functionsf hg defined in the open unit discU, wherehandgdefined by

bnzn, bpt−1<1, t∈N:{1,2, . . .} 1.1
are analytic functions inU.
LetFbe a fixed multivalent harmonic function given by

where f∗F is a harmonic convolution off and F. Note thatz ∂/∂θr eiθ, fz

it follows thatf∈HFp, t, α, kif and only if

A function f in HFp, t, α, k is called k-uniformly multivalent harmonic starlike
function associated with a fixed multivalent harmonic function F. The set HFp, t, α, k is
a comprehensive family that contains several previously studied subclasses of Hp; for example, if we let

LetHFp, t, α, k:THp∩HFp, t, α, k.
In this paper, we investigate coefficient conditions, extreme points, and distortion bounds for functions in the familyHFp, t, α, k. We observe that the results so obtained for this main family can be viewed as extensions and generalizations for various subclasses of
HpandH1.

thatf /∈HFp, t, α, kand so the proof is complete.
