Applications of the Atangana–Baleanu Fractional Integral Operator

Abstract

Applications of the Atangana–Baleanu fractional integral were considered in recent studies related to geometric function theory to obtain interesting differential subordinations. Additionally, the multiplier transformation was used in many studies, providing elegant results. In this paper, a new operator is defined by combining those two prolific functions. The newly defined operator is applied for introducing a new subclass of analytic functions, which is investigated concerning certain properties, such as coefficient estimates, distortion theorems, closure theorems, neighborhoods and radii of starlikeness, convexity and close-to-convexity. This class may have symmetric or asymmetric properties. The results could prove interesting due to the new applications of the Atangana–Baleanu fractional integral and of the multiplier transformation. Additionally, the univalence properties of the new subclass of functions could inspire researchers to conduct further investigations related to this newly defined class.
