Abstract.

By using a linear operator, we obtain some new results for a normalized analytic function f defined by means of the Hadamard product of Hurwitz zeta function. A class related to this function will be introduced and the properties will be discussed.

1. Introduction

A meromorphic function is a single-valued function, that is, analytic in all but possibly a discrete subset of its domain, and at those singularities it must go to infinity like a polynomial (i.e., these exceptional points must be poles and not essential singularities). A simpler definition states that a meromorphic function is a function of the form

where and are entire functions with (see [1, page 64]). A meromorphic function therefore may only have finite-order, isolated poles and zeros and no essential singularities in its domain. A meromorphic function with an infinite number of poles is exemplified by on the punctured disk .

An equivalent definition of a meromorphic function is a complex analytic map to the Riemann sphere. For example, the Gamma function is meromorphic in the whole complex plane; see [1, 2].

In the present paper, we will derive some properties of univalent functions defined by means of the Hadamard product of Hurwitz Zeta function; a class related to this function will be introduced and the properties of the liner operator will be discussed.

2. Preliminaries

Let denote the class of meromorphic functions normalized by

which are analytic in the punctured unit disk . For , we denote by and the subclasses of consisting of all meromorphic functions which are, respectively, starlike of order and convex of order in .

For functions    defined by

Let us define the function by

We recall here a general Hurwitz-Lerch-Zeta function, which is defined in [3, 4] by the following series:

(, ; when ; when ).

Important special cases of the function include, for example, the Riemann zeta function , the Hurwitz zeta function , the Lerch zeta function , , and the polylogarithm . Recent results on can be found in the expositions [5, 6]. By making use of the following normalized function we define

Corresponding to the functions and using the Hadamard product for , we define a new linear operator on by the following series:

The meromorphic functions with the generalized hypergeometric functions were considered recently by many others; see, for example, [7–12].
