On a subclass of harmonic functions associated with Wright's generalized hypergeometric functions

On a subclass of harmonic functions associated with Wright's generalized hypergeometric functions

Wright’s generalized hypergeometric function is used here to introduce a new class of complex valued harmonic functions which are orientation preserving and univalent in the open unit disc. Among the results pre- sented in this paper include the coefficient bounds, distortion inequality and covering property, extreme points and certain inclusion results for the generalized class of functions defined here.
