Abstract:- The study of univalent functions and its applications is an hallmark of geometric function theory.
Since univalent functions are analytic and has one-to-one mapping, it has a wide range of applications in the
fields of studies where transformations (enlargements and reductions) are done. The functions also have angle
and orientation preserving properties among other uses. Many authors have defined and studied various classes
of univalent functions using different approaches and tools. In this study however, the authors used a
generalized multiplier transformation to define a and investigate a new class of functions 󰇛󰇜. Various
properties of the class of functions were investigated. The results extend some known results in literature.
Key-Words: - Univalent, unit disc, multiplier transformation, function of bounded turning, starlike functions,
convex functions, and coefficients

We denote by the subclass of S which are
normalized univalent function of the form
󰇛󰇜
 (2)
that are analytic and univalent in the open unit disk
. The function of the form (2) was first introduced
in [13]. Functions of negative coefficients were also
investigated in [2], [5], [6], [8], [9] and [10].
Univalent functions have applications in many areas
of science and engineering, The simplest example of
a univalent function is the identity function 󰇛󰇜
. Other examples are the circular function 󰇛󰇜
 which is univalent in the disc
and the
Koebe function
1.1 Multiplier Transformations (Differential
Operator)
Since the introduction of differentiatial operator as
multiplier transformation in the geometric function
theories, various authors such as [1], [4], [11], [12],
[14] and [15] have continued to extend the
transformation and used as a tool to define, study
and establish properties of the class of functions.

Investigation of classes of univalent functions is a
great deal in geometric functions theory (GFT).
Various authors have investigated different forms of
functions such as starlike functions, convex
functions , close to convex functions  and

functions of bounded turning among others.
Ibrahim and Kılıçman in 16] considered a
relationship between  and  as classes of
univalent functions. Deng in [3] studied some
geometric properties of a univalent functions with
negative coefficients which was first defined in [13]
while Fadipe-Joseph and Oluwayemi in [7] defined
and investigated class as a class of convex
univalent functions. Motivated by the work of [3]
and [8], the following results were presented using a
differential operator. Other approaches such as
subordination principle and convolution among
others could also be used in investigating a class of
function.

Suppose 󰇛󰇜󰇛󰇜, then 󰇛󰇜 is univalent in U.

But 󰆒󰇛󰇜 is continuous and 󰆒󰇛󰇜. Hence, we

The result follows from Theorem 2.1.
Theorem 2.8 Let such that . If
󰇛󰇜󰇛󰇜, then the function 󰇛󰇜 defined by
(18) is univalent in 

󰇛󰇜󰇟󰇛󰇜󰇛󰇜󰇠

Then from (18),
We now need to show that 󰇛󰇜 in 
. But
󰆒󰇛󰇜
 

We have that since 󰇛󰇜󰇛󰇜. Then,
 󰇡
󰇛󰇜󰇟󰇛󰇜󰇛󰇜󰇠

implies that 󰆒󰇛󰇜. Using
 󰇛󰇜󰇟󰇛󰇜󰇛󰇜󰇠

(20) will hold true if

The result is sharp for

3 Conclusion
The result extend some known results in literature.
In particular, the class of function defined in [3] is
extended in the present study. The results in the
study are generalised in this paper. The class of
functions studied in the work find applications in
the areas where mappings are done.
