AbstractThe object of the present paper is to derive some argument properties associated with meromorphic close-to-starlike and Bazilević functions in the punctured open unit disk. Furthermore, we investigate integral-preserving properties in a sector with some special cases of the main results presented here.Mathematics Subject Classification (2020): Primary: 30C45Secondary: 30A2030A40Key words: Analytic functionsunivalent functionsmeromorphic functionsprinciple of subordinationargument estimatesstarlike functionsclose-to-starlike functionsintegral operators
