Abstract Let A be the class of all normalized analytic functions f (z) in the open unit disk satisfying f (0) = 0 and f′(0) = 1. Let q 1 and q 2 be univalent in Δ with q 1(0) = q 2(0) = 1. We give some applications of first order differential subordination and superordination to obtain sufficient conditions for a normalized analytic functions f with f (0) = f′(0) − 1 = 0 to satisfy where is the Komatu integral operator on A.
