Fuzzy Differential Subordinations Obtained Using a Hypergeometric Integral Operator

Abstract

This paper is related to notions adapted from fuzzy set theory to the field of complex analysis, namely fuzzy differential subordinations. Using the ideas specific to geometric function theory from the field of complex analysis, fuzzy differential subordination results are obtained using a new integral operator introduced in this paper using the well-known confluent hypergeometric function, also known as the Kummer hypergeometric function. The new hypergeometric integral operator is defined by choosing particular parameters, having as inspiration the operator studied by Miller, Mocanu and Reade in 1978. Theorems are stated and proved, which give corollary conditions such that the newly-defined integral operator is starlike, convex and close-to-convex, respectively. The example given at the end of the paper proves the applicability of the obtained results.
