The present study aims to investigate a majorization problem for a class of q-starlike functions and for the subclass \({\mathcal {S}}^{*}(\chi )\) of starlike functions as well as to rectify certain previous results. For this goal, the valid form connected with Nehari’s inequality for q-difference operators was presented. Further, our findings contribute to the novelty of the results of this topic by revealing new insights. In addition, our results with previous works have connected, drawing inspiration from existing papers. Also, several new implications of the main result expressed as corollaries were provided and advances in the studied topic were made.
