Toeplitz and Hankel determinants of logarithmic coefficients for r-valent q-starlike and r-valent q-convex functions by Pishtiwan Othman Sabir, Awara Ahmed Ali

“…We systematically introduce and examine subfamilies of r-valently holomorphic functions within the open unit disk D by employing the fractional q-derivative operator, along with the principle of subordination between holomorphic functions. • The families we define in this paper constitute a generalization of numerous established classes available in existing literature. • We derive the Fekete-Szegö inequalities for these newly introduced families. • As a result, we apply these findings to establish bounds for the Toeplitz and Hankel determinants T2,1(γu),T2,2(γu) and H2,1(γu), defined as follows:T2,1(γu)=|γ1γ2γ2γ1|,T2,2(γu)=|γ2γ3γ3γ2|andH2,1(γu)=|γ1γ2γ2γ3|where γ1,γ2, and γ3 denote the first, second, and third logarithmic coefficients of functions within the family of multivalent q-starlike and multivalent q-convex functions.…”
