By making use of the generalized differential operator, the authors derive the subordination and superordination results for certain normalized analytic functions in the open unit disk. Many of the well-known and new results are shown to follow as special cases of our results. 1 Preliminaries Let H be the class of functions analytic in the open unit disc U = {z : | z |< 1}. Let H(a, n) be the s...
