Abstract In the present paper we introduce a new convolution operator on the class of all normalized analytic functions in | z | < 1 {|z|<1} , by using the hypergeometric function and the Owa–Srivastava operator Ω α {\Omega^{\alpha}} defined in [S. Owa and H. M. Srivastava, Univalent and starlike generalized hypergeometric functions, Canad. J. Math. 39 1987, 5, 1057–1077]. This operator is a generalization of the operators defined in [S. K. Lee and K. M. Khairnar, A new subclass of analytic functions defined by convolution, Korean J. Math. 19 2011, 4, 351–365] and [K. I. Noor, Integral operators defined by convolution with hypergeometric functions, Appl. Math. Comput. 182 2006, 2, 1872–1881]. Also we introduce some new subclasses of analytic functions using this operator and we discuss some interesting results, such as inclusion results and convolution properties. Our results generalize the results of [S. K. Lee and K. M. Khairnar, A new subclass of analytic functions defined by convolution, Korean J. Math. 19 2011, 4, 351–365].
