32 Mugur Acu Let D n be the Sălăgean differential operator see [12] defined as: D n : A A, n N and D 0 = D 1 = D = zf z, D n = DD n 1. Remark 1.1. If f S, = a j z j, z U then D n = j n a j z j. 1 We recall here the definition of the well - known class of starlike functions { S = f A : Re zf } z > 0, z U. Let consider the Libera-Pascu integral operator L a : A A defined as: = L a F z = 1 + a z a z 0 F t t a 1 dt, a C, Re a 0. Generalizations of the Libera-Pascu integral operator was studied by many mathematicians such are P.T. Mocanu in [7], E. Drăghici in [6] and D. Breaz in [5]. Definition 1.1.[4] Let n N and 0. We denote with D n defined by D n : A A, the operator D 0 =, D 1 = 1 + zf z = D, D n = D D n 1. Remark 1.2.[4] We observe that D n is a linear operator and for = a j z j we have D n = 1 + j 1 n a j z j.
Subclasses of starlike functions associated with some hyperbola 33 Also, it is easy to observe that if we consider = 1 in the above definition we obtain the Sălăgean differential operator. The next theorem is result of the so called admissible functions method introduced by P.T. Mocanu and S.S. Miller see [8], [9], [10]. Theorem 1.1. Let h convex in U and Re[βh γ] > 0, z U. If p HU with p0 = h0 and p satisfied the Briot-Bouquet differential subordination p zp z βp γ hz, then pz hz. In [1] is introduced the following operator: Definition 1.2. Let β, R, β 0, 0 and = denote by D β the linear operator defined by a j z j. We D β : A A, D β = 1 + j 1 β a j z j. Remark 1.3. It is easy to observe that for β = n N we obtain the Al- Oboudi operator D n and for β = n N, = 1 we obtain the Sălăgean operator D n. The purpose of this note is to define some subclasses of starlike functions associated with some hyperbola by using the operator D β defined above and to obtain some properties regarding these classes.

[13] A function f S is said to be in the class SHα if it satisfies zf z 2α 2 1 < Re for some α α > 0 and for all z U. { } 2 zf z + 2α 2 1, Remark 2.1. Geometric { interpretation: } zf z Let Ωα = : z U, f SHα. Then Ωα = {w = u + i v : v 2 < 4αu + u 2, u > 0}. Note that Ωα is the interior of a hyperbola in the right half-plane which is symmetric about the real axis and has vertex at the origin. Definition 2.2. [3] Let f S and α > 0. We say that the function f is in the class SH n α, n N, if D n+1 2α 2 1 < Re D n { } 2 D n+1 +2α 2 1, z U. D n Remark 2.2. Geometric interpretation: If we denote with p α the analytic and univalent functions with the properties p α 0 = 1, p α0 > 0 and p α U = Ωα see Remark 2.1, then f SH n α if and only if D n+1 p D n α z, where the symbol denotes the subordination in U. 1 + bz 1 + 4α 4α2 We have p α z = 1 + 2α 2α, b = bα = and the 1 z 1 + 2α 2 branch of the square root w is chosen so that Im w 0. Theorem 2.1. [3] If F z SH n α, α > 0, n N, and = L a F z, where L a is the integral operator defined by 1, then SH n α, α > 0, n N.

Let β 0, 0, α > 0 and p α z = 1 + 2α 1 z 2α, 1 + 4α 4α2 where b = bα = and the branch of the square root w is chosen so that Im w 0. We say that a function S is in the 1 + 2α 2 class SH β, α if D β p α z, z U. Remark 3.1. Geometric interpretation: SH β, α if and only if D β take all values in the domain Ωα which is the interior of a hyperbola in the right half-plane which is symmetric about the real axis and has vertex at the origin see Remark 2.1 and Remark 2.2. Remark 3.2. It is easy to observe that for β = n N and = 1 we obtain in the above definition we obtain the class SH n α studied in [3] and for = 1, β = 0 we obtain the class SHα studied in [13]. Theorem 3.1. Let β 0, α > 0 and > 0. We have SH β+1, α SH β, α. Proof. Let SH β+1, α. With notation pz = Dβ+1, p0 = 1, D β

Thus = 1 pz pz 2 + zp z. Then, from 4, we obtain. F z D β F z = pz2 + zp a + 1 1 pz p a + 1 1 = zp z = p p a + 1 1, where a C, Re a 0, β 0, and 1.
