The prime contribution of this study covers the derivation of sharp coefficient bounds in open unit disk U, especially the first three coefficient bounds, Fekete\u2013Szego type functional, and upper bounds of second- and third-order Hankel determinant for the functions to this class. We also use Zalcman and generalized Zalcman conjectures to investigate the coefficient bounds of a newly defined class of functions. Furthermore, some known corollaries are highlighted based on the unique choices of the involved parameters l and q.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/sym15030763","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,20]],"date-time":"2023-03-20T07:56:37Z","timestamp":1679298997000},"page":"763","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Sharp Coefficient Bounds for a New Subclass of q-Starlike Functions Associated with q-Analogue of the Hyperbolic Tangent Function"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8637-3945","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chetan","family":"Swarup","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Basic Sciences, Colllege of Science and Theoretical Studies, Saudi Electronic University, Riyadh 11673, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"79","DOI":"10.1090\/S0002-9904-1975-13643-3","article-title":"Differential inequalities and Carath\u00e9odory functions","volume":"81","author":"Miller","year":"1975","journal-title":"Bull.
