Abstract
In this investigation, for convex functions, some new –Hermite–Hadamard-type inequalities using the notions of derivative and integral are obtained. Furthermore, for -differentiable convex functions, some new () estimates for midpoint and trapezoidal-type inequalities using the notions of integral are offered. It is also shown that the newly proved results for and can be converted into some existing results. Finally, we discuss how the special means can be used to address newly discovered inequalities.
1. Introduction
In convex functions theory, Hermite–Hadamard (HH) inequality, which was discovered by C. Hermite and J. Hadamard independently, is very important (see also [1,2] (p. 137)):
where is a convex function. In the case of concave mappings, the above inequality is satisfied in reverse order.
On the other hand, in the domain of q analysis, many works are being carried out as initiated by Euler in order to attain adeptness in mathematics that constructs quantum computing q calculus considered as a relationship between physics and mathematics. In different areas of mathematics, it has numerous applications such as combinatorics, number theory, basic hypergeometric functions, orthogonal polynomials, and other sciences, as well as mechanics, the theory of relativity, and quantum theory [3,4]. Quantum calculus also has many applications in quantum information theory, which is an interdisciplinary area that encompasses computer science, information theory, philosophy, and cryptography, among other areas [5,6]. Apparently, Euler invented this important branch of mathematics. He used the q parameter in Newton’s work on infinite series. Later, in a methodical manner, the q-calculus, calculus without limits, was firstly given by Jackson [7,8]. In 1966, Al-Salam [9] introduced a q-analogue of the q-fractional integral and q-Riemann–Liouville fractional. Since then, related research has gradually increased. In particular, in 2013, Tariboon introduced the -difference operator and -integral in [10]. In 2020, Bermudo et al. introduced the notion of derivative and -integral in [11]. Sadjang generalized to quantum calculus and introduced the notions of post-quantum calculus, or briefly -calculus in [12]. In [13], Tunç and Göv gave the post-quantum variant of -difference operator and -integral. Recently, in 2021, Chu et al. introduced the notions of derivative and -integral in [14].
Many integral inequalities have been studied using quantum and post-quantum integrals for various types of functions. For example, in [11,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25], the authors used -derivatives and -integrals to prove Hermite–Hadamard integral inequalities and their left–right estimates for convex and coordinated convex functions. In [26], Noor et al. presented a generalized version of quantum integral inequalities. For generalized quasi-convex functions, Nwaeze et al. proved certain parameterized quantum integral inequalities in [27]. Khan et al. proved quantum Hermite–Hadamard inequality using the green function in [28]. Budak et al. [29], Ali et al. [30,31], and Vivas-Cortez et al. [32] developed new quantum Simpson’s and quantum Newton’s type inequalities for convex and coordinated convex functions. For quantum Ostrowski’s inequalities for convex and co-ordinated convex functions, one can consult [33,34,35]. Kunt et al. [36] generalized the results of [18] and proved Hermite–Hadamard-type inequalities and their left estimates using difference operator and integral. Recently, Latif et al. [37] found the right estimates of Hermite–Hadamard type inequalities proved by Kunt et al. [36]. To prove Ostrowski’s inequalities, Chu et al. [14] used the concepts of difference operator and integral.
Inspired by the ongoing studies, we give the generalizations of the results proved in [11,15] and we prove Hermite–Hadamard-type inequalities for convex functions using the concepts of difference operator and integral.
The organization of this paper is as follows: In Section 2, a short explanation of the concepts of q-calculus and some associated works in this direction is given. In Section 3, we review the notions of ()-derivatives and integrals. In Section 4, the Hermite–Hadamard-type inequalities for the ()-integrals are presented. The correlation between the results presented herein and similar results in the literature are also considered. In Section 5 and Section 6, we present some new () estimates of midpoint and trapezoidal type inequalities for convex functions, respectively, and show the relationship between the results given herein and comparable results in the literature. Section 7 contains some conclusions and more directions for future research.
