          |  |  | Abstract: |  Making use of a certain fractional calculus operator, we introduce two new subclasses   and  of analytic and  valent functions in the open unit disk. The results investigated exhibit the sufficiency conditions for a function to belong to each of these classes. Several geometric properties of such multivalent functions follow, and these consequences are also mentioned. |
