Study on the Criteria for Starlikeness in Integral Operators Involving Bessel Functions

Abstract

The study presented in this paper follows a line of research familiar for Geometric Function Theory, which consists in defining new integral operators and conducting studies for revealing certain geometric properties of those integral operators such as univalence, starlikness, or convexity. The present research focuses on the Bessel function of the first kind and order ν unveiling the conditions for this function to be univalent and further using its univalent form in order to define a new integral operator on the space of holomorphic functions. For particular values of the parameters implicated in the definition of the new integral operator involving the Bessel function of the first kind, the well-known Alexander, Libera, and Bernardi integral operators can be obtained. In the first part of the study, necessary and sufficient conditions are obtained for the Bessel function of the first kind and order ν to be a starlike function or starlike of order α∈[0,1). The renowned prolific method of differential subordination due to Sanford S. Miller and Petru T. Mocanu is employed in the reasoning. In the second part of the study, the outcome of the first part is applied in order to introduce the new integral operator involving the form of the Bessel function of the first kind, which is starlike. Further investigations disclose the necessary and sufficient conditions for this new integral operator to be starlike or starlike of order 12.
