Abstract
In this paper, a new identity for the generalized fractional integral is defined. Using this identity we studied a new integral inequality for functions whose first derivatives in absolute value are convex. The new generalized Hermite-Hadamard inequality for generalized convex function on fractal sets involving Katugampola type fractional integral is established. This fractional integral generalizes Riemann-Liouville and Hadamard’s integral, which possess a symmetric property. We derive trapezoid and mid-point type inequalities connected to this generalized Hermite-Hadamard inequality.
1. Introduction
The emergence of convexity theory, in the field of mathematical analysis, has been considered as the remarkable development. Due to the wide applications of convexity, variety of new convex functions have being reported and widely studied in the literature. The definition of a classical convex function is given below.
Definition 1.
A function is said to be convex if
holds for all and .
This notion has inspired many to formulate new inequalities. Many new classes of inequalities that are related to the convex functions have been derived and applied to other field of studies, see [1,2]. Among the interesting classes of such inequalities are those of Hermite-Hadamard’s type, which have been applied to many problems in finance, engineering and science. Similar to the convexity, convexity inequality, for a function , the Hermite-Hadamard inequality can also be defined as
In the literature, many generalizations of Hermite-Hadamard type inequalities are established by applying the generalizations of convexity. For example, very recently, a new type of integral inequality for regular convex function was studied by [3]. Furthermore, many researchers have been studying the generalization of inequality in (1) motivated by various modifications of the notion of convexity, such as s-convexity and generalized s-convexity, for example see the details in ([4,5,6,7]), where Hermite-Hadamard inequality were extended in order to include the problems that related to fractional calculus, a branch of calculus dealing with derivatives and integrals of non-integer order (see [8,9,10,11,12,13]). Nowadays, the real-life applications of fractional calculus exist in most areas of studies [14,15]. Based on the application of fractional calculus, the mathematicians defined its derivatives and integrals differently. Thus there are many type of fractional derivatives. One of the most widely used approaches is the Riemann-Liouville operator method. The detail of this method can be found in the following references [16,17]. The work of Sarikaya et al. [18] on the formulation of Hermite-Hadamard inequality, via Riemann-Liouville fractional integral, has fascinated many researchers to contribute to this field. Next, we recall the Sarikaya’s inequality as follows.
Theorem 1.
Let be a positive function with and If is a convex function on then the following inequalities hold
with . Where the Riemann-Liouville integrals and of order are defined by
and
respectively.
Using the above approach, many new inequalities have been obtained and reported in the literature. For example, an important theorem was established through the Riemann-Liouville fractional calculus and reported in [19] as follows.
Theorem 2.
Suppse that is a differentiable function on , where . If is convex on then the following inequality holds:
Other similar improvements on Hermite-Hadamard type inequalities, including an introduction to generalized convex function on fractal sets, can be seen in [20]. For example, a very new study was carried out on the improvement of Hermite-Hadamard type inequalities via generalized convex functions on fractal set, see [21], and we provide the definition of this concept as
Definition 2.
Let If the following inequality
holds for any and then is called a generalized convex on
The Riemann-Liouville fractional integral, along the Hadamard’s fractional integral that possesses a symmetric property given in [22], is a generalized through the recent work of Katugampola. These two integrals were combined and given in a single form (see [23,24]).
Definition 3.
Let be a finite interval. Then, the left-and right-sided Katugampola fractional integrals of order for are defined by
with , . Given the space of complex-valued Lebesgue measurable function ω as , we define the norm of the function on as follows
whereby If , we obtain
Other related works including the generalization of Hermite-Hadamard inequality for Katugampola fractional integrals [25], given in the following lemma, as well as the theorem that follows immediately.
Lemma 1.
Let be a differentiable mapping on , with . If the fractional integrals exist, we obtain the following equality,
Theorem 3.
Let and Let be a non-negative function with and If is also a convex function on then we have
whereby the fractional integrals are given for the function and evaluated at m and n, respectively.
Katugampola fractional integrals have many applications in the fields of science and technology, some of which can be found in the following references [26,27]. Therefore, many generalizations of different inequalities are studied via these fractional integrals. For example, Kermausuor [28] and Mumcu et al. [29] generalized Ostrowski-type and Hermite-Hadamard type inequalities for harmonically convex functions, respectively. Tekin et al. [30] proposed Hermite-Hadamard inequality for p-convex functions for Katugampola fractional integrals. Other inequalities generalized via Katugampola fractional integrals include Grüss inequality, [31,32] and Lyapunov inequality [33].
Therefore, the aim of this paper is to generalize the Hermite-Hadamard inequality for generalized convex functions on fractal sets via Katugampola fractional integrals. This can be the generalization of the work of Chen and Katugampola [25], who proposed the inequality stated in Theorem 3. Another objective of this study is to define a new identity for generalized fractional integrals, through which generalized Hermite-Hadamard type inequalities for convex function are derived. The trapezoid and mid-point type inequalities are also proposed for the generalized convex function involving Katugampola fractional integrals, which would generalize the Riemann-Liouville and the Hadamard integrals into a single form.
