Abstract
In this article, we make use of the concepts of subordination and the q-calculus theory to analyze a new class of analytic bi-univalent functions associated to the cardioid domain. Our main focus is to derive a sharp inequality for a newly defined class of analytic and bi-univalent functions in the open unit disc . We explore the bounds of initial coefficients, Fekete-Szegö type problems, and coefficient inequalities for newly established families. In addition, we explore some recent findings for the bi-univalent function and inverse function. Additionally, a few well-known results are mentioned to help make links between earlier and current results.

In 1851, researchers began to study the functions theory formally and this area originally came to light as a promising area of research when Bieberbach [1] investigated the conjecture in 1916. Numerous eminent researchers sought to either support or contradict the Bieberbach theory between 1916 and 1985, but in 1985, De Branges [2] proved this idea. It is important to understand the theory of analytic functions (AFs) and univalent functions (UFs) and how these ideas evaluate the growth of functions within the boundaries of their designated domains. This consists the representation of Taylor coefficients, and the corresponding functional inequalities. The significant and helpful Fekete-Szegö inequality discovered by Fekete and Szegö [3] in 1933. The coefficients of UFs are the subject of a mathematical inequality known as Fekete and Szegö, which is linked to the Bieberbach conjecture. It has been shown that there are several effects of maximization of the non-linear functional . This sort of issue is referred to as a sharp Fekete-Szegö problem (FSP) (for more detail see [3]) and is presented as follows:
Let two analytic functions and and there subordination form are , . Suppose a Schwarz function meets the following conditions and , thus , . Note that, if is univalent in , then we have
The widely used class of starlike functions, denoted as , is described as:
and it can be expressed as follows in terms of subordination:
The familiar class of convex functions, denoted as is described as:
and it can be expressed as follows in terms of subordination:
Let be the function whose real part is positive with , and .
Ma and Minda [4] introduced a new direction by using the concepts of subordination along with the function to study the class and the class . They defined and in the following way:
and
Numerous new classes of analytic functions were explored in recent study as specific instances of the class . As a case study, class was examined by Sokól and Stankiewicz in [5], the class defined in [6]. The classes , , and investigated by Cho et al. in [7], [8], [9], respectively.
Lewin [10] looked into the (Σ) class of bi-univalent functions and established that . Lewin finding was generalized by Brannan and Clunie [11] to , and subsequently, Netanyahu [12] demonstrated that . Bi-convex and bi-starlike functions were actually suggested by Brannan and Taha [13], where as Tan [14] discovered some preliminary coefficient estimates for a class. The study of subfamilies Σ has been a popular research topic for the past ten years. Finding the initial coefficient bounds for particular subfamilies generally attracted attention of Σ. Srivastava et al. [15] new revival of the study of coefficient problems regarding bi-univalent functions is remarkable. Two fascinating subfamilies of the function family Σ were introduced in 2010 by Srivastava et al. [15]. For functions in these subfamilies, he discovered bounds and . Frasin and Aouf [16] started to found the and of the functions that are members of two new subclasses of the function class Σ. The study of functions from the class that are related to certain polynomials, such as the Lucas, Horadam, Fibonacci, Legendrae, Chebyshev and Gegenbauer polynomials, is the main focus of current research. Serivastava et al. [17] proposed a new subclass of bi-univalent functions by making use of the Horadam polynomials, while in [18], Altınkaya and Yalçin examined the Chebyshev polynomial coefficient issue of a few subclasses of UFs. See the following articles, for several special subfamilies connected with any of the aforementioned polynomials, as shown in [19], [20], [21], [22].

Several analytic function subclasses have been created employing the idea of subordination, including the different types of domains; some of them have been studied in the following and references [23], [24], [25], [26], [27].

Jacek Dziok, in his work [28], introduces a class of starlike functions that are link with a shell-like curve and Fibonacci numbers. In addition, following on the work of [28], Malik et al. have recently introduced a novel class of analytic functions known as , which are closely linked to cardioid-like curve functions .

The quantum calculus, also known as q-calculus, is a significant mathematical instrument used for the examination of various families of AFs. Its applications in mathematics and allied fields have sparked inspiration among academics. Within the field of engineering science and technology, engineers and scientists frequently utilize the q-calculus in the areas of mass and heat transfer, nonlinear differential equations and fuzzy differential equations. The q-difference operator ( and the q-calculus operator were first formulated as pioneering contributions to the subject. Jackson [30], [31] provided the definition of this operator. Ismail et al. [32] were the pioneers in using the q-difference operator to expand the class of in quantum calculus. In addition, Srivastava (see [33]) was the pioneer in using the fundamental (or q-) hypergeometric functions in Geometric Functions Theory (GFT). Subsequently, several mathematicians carried out noteworthy research, which has significantly influenced the field of GFT. Attiya et al. [34] conducted research on the new uses of this operator in relation to the q-raina function. Raza et al. [35] then developed and explained a group of star-shaped functions that are associated with the symmetric booth lemniscate. See the works [36], [37], [38] for additional details on q-calculus operator theory in GFT. Based on earlier work in the field of GFT that used the q-calculus, we use the technique of subordination to create two new subclasses of and . In detail, we look into the FSP and sharp initial coefficient bounds for the subclass of q-starlike functions. We also look into a new result for the class of bi-univalent functions. Furthermore, our findings yield numerous known results that serve as corollaries of the principal outcomes.
The following is the way Jackson [30] introduced the q-difference operator for analytic functions as follows:
where
We now consider the notions of subordinations and the aforementioned q-difference operator (, and we give new subclasses associated with the cardioid domain.

4. Conclusions
There are three parts of this article. The introduction and typical terminology are included in Section 1. Additionally, a novel classes of analytical functions was established in this part, which is related to the operator theory of the q-calculus and the cardioid domain, and numerous common lemmas were presented in Section 2. Interesting topics we examined for functions belonging to the classes and in Section 3 included the first two initial coefficients bounds, estimates for the Fekete-Szegö type functional, and other useful findings. In this article, it has been shown that all of the bounds are sharp. The inverse functions were additionally investigated at with similar sharp outcomes. Some of the main consequences that are currently recognized as existing are also highlighted in our research.
Additional research proposals can explore the application of the concept of subordination and the q-calculus theory to generate results pertaining to the newly defined classes. Moreover, this study's approach has the potential to establish multiple novel subclasses of meromorphic, multivalent, and harmonic functions, enabling the examination of their characteristics. The researchers themselves, inspired by the findings presented in this paper, will be the sole individuals to pioneer studies that utilize these classes.
