p. 55 - 64 Starlike and convexity properties for p-valent hypergeometric functions R. M. El-Ashwah, M. K. Aouf and A. O. Moustafa Received: November 11, 2008; Accepted: May 6, 2009 Abstract. Given the hypergeometric function we place conditions on a, b and c to guarante that zpF(a, b; c; z) will be in various subclasses of p-valent starlike and p-valent convex functions. Operators related to the hypergeometric function are also examined. Keywords: p-valent; starlike; convex; hypergeometric function.
