“…for a function f which is differentiable in a given subset of C. Further, for p = 1, we have D q,1 f (z) = D q f (z) (see Seoudy and Aouf [12]). Making use of the q-derivative operator D q,p (0 < q < 1, p ∈ N) given by (1.2), we introduce the subclass S * q (p, α) of p-valently q-starlike functions of order α in U and the subclass C q (p, α) of p-valently q-convex functions of order α in U, 0 α < 1, as follows:…”
