AbstractIn this paper we have introduced and studied the subclass ℛ𝒥 (d, α, β) of univalent functions defined by the linear operator $RI_{n,\lambda ,l}^\gamma f(z)$ defined by using the Ruscheweyh derivative Rnf(z) and multiplier transformation I (n, λ, l) f(z), as $RI_{n,\lambda ,l}^\gamma :{\cal A} \to {\cal A}$, $RI_{n,\lambda ,l}^\gamma f(z) = (1 - \gamma )R^n f(z) + \gamma I(n,\lambda ,l)f(z)$, z ∈ U, where 𝒜n ={f ∈ ℋ(U) : f(z) = z + an+1zn+1 + . . . , z ∈ U}is the class of normalized analytic functions with 𝒜1 = 𝒜. The main object is to investigate several properties such as coefficient estimates, distortion theorems, closure theorems, neighborhoods and the radii of starlikeness, convexity and close-to-convexity of functions belonging to the class ℛ𝒥(d, α, β).
