Convolution conditions for bounded \(\alpha\)-starlike functions of complex order

Let \(A\) be the class of analytic functions in the unit disc \(U\) of the complex plane \(\mathbb{C}\) with the normalization \(f(0)=f^{^{\prime }}(0)-1=0\). We introduce a subclass \(S_{M}^{\ast }(\alpha ,b)\) of \(A\), which unifies the classes of bounded starlike and convex functions of complex order. Making use of Salagean operator, a more general class \(S_{M}^{\ast }(n,\alpha ,b)\) (\(n\geq 0\)) related to \(S_{M}^{\ast }(\alpha ,b)\) is also considered under the same conditions. Among other things, we find convolution conditions for a function \(f\in A\) to belong to the class \(S_{M}^{\ast }(\alpha ,b)\). Several properties of the class \(S_{M}^{\ast }(n,\alpha ,b)\) are investigated
