Abstract
In this paper, we present some ideas and concepts related to the k-fractional conformable integral operator for convex functions. First, we present a new integral identity correlated with the k-fractional conformable operator for the first-order derivative of a given function. Employing this new identity, the authors have proved some generalized inequalities of Hermite–Hadamard type via Hölder’s inequality and the power mean inequality. Inequalities have a strong correlation with convex and symmetric convex functions. There exist expansive properties and strong correlations between the symmetric function and various areas of convexity, including convex functions, probability theory, and convex geometry on convex sets because of their fascinating properties in the mathematical sciences. The results of this paper show that the methodology can be directly applied and is computationally easy to use and exact.

1. Introduction
Convex functions form a critical part in a few branches, such as mathematical inequalities, finance, engineering, statistics, and probability. Convex functions have a vital history and have been an intense topic of research for more than a century in sciences. Different speculations, expansions, and variations of the convex functions have been introduced by numerous researchers.
Definition 1
(See [1]). A mapping is called convex if
holds, and .
(Note: If the inequality in Equation (1) is reversed, then is called to be concave.)
Employing convex functions, many inequalities or equalities have been proven by many authors; for example, Ostrowski-type inequality, Hardy-type inequality, Opial-type inequality, Simpson inequality, Fejer-type inequality, Cebysev-type inequalities. Among these inequalities, perhaps the one which takes the most consideration of researchers is the Hermite–Hadamard inequality on which many articles have been published.
Theorem 1
(See [2]). A mapping is a convex function in and , , then the inequality is expressed as follows:
Since its discovery in 1883, Hermite–Hadamard’s inequality has been considered as the most useful inequality in mathematical analysis. It is also known as traditional equation of Inequality. Several mathematicians have shown keen interest for the extensions and generalizations of Hermite–Hadamard inequality (2). A number of mathematicians in the field of pure and applied mathematics have devoted their work to extend, generalize, counterpart, and refine the Hermite–Hadamard inequality for different classes of convex functions and mappings. We refer the interested readers to [3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13]. Historically, the beginning of the idea of fractional calculus was credited to Leibnitz and L’Hospital (1695); however, critical improvements regarding the matter were presented later on by Riemann, Liouville, Grunwald-Letnikov, among others. Researchers are interested in the way that the speculation of fractional operator deciphers nature’s existence in a grand and purposeful way [14,15,16,17,18,19]. Mubeen and Iqbal [20] added to the ongoing research by presenting the improved version of an integral representation for the Appell k-series.
The concept of fractional integral inequalities produced has a basic and important role in the mathematical field of sciences. Fractional calculus has a wide range of applications in various fields, such as magnetism, electricity, theory of viscoelasticity, lateral and longitudinal control of autonomous vehicles, numerical method, sound waves, heat transfer, fluid mechanics, propagation in human cancellous bone, propagation in rigid porous materials, cardiac tissue electrode interface, ultrasonic wave, wave propagation in viscoelastic horns, RLC electric circuit, etc. For the attraction of readers, see the references [21,22,23,24].
Symmetry, convexity and fractional operator have an extremely amazing association in light of their interesting properties. Whichever one we work on, it very well may be applied to the other one due to the strong relationship existing between them. The main aim of this work, excited and motivated by the ongoing research activities regarding this direction, is to investigate some Hermite–Hadamard type inequalities via the k-fractional conformable integral operator.
Definition 2
([25]). Suppose (sequence of all continuous spaces), then the left and right Riemann–Liouville fractional integrals of order with are defined by
and
respectively.
In addition,
where .
Note: If , then the Riemann–Liouville fractional integral reduces to the classical integral. The Beta function is defined as follows:
Definition 3
([26]). If , then k-gamma function is defined as
If , the k-gamma function in integral form is defined as
with . Here, stands for the k-gamma function.
Sarikaya in [27] presented the Riemann–Liouville fractional version of the inequality 1. Soon after this article, many mathematicians generalized the Hermite–Hadamard inequality for various fractional operators employing several kinds of convexities (see [28,29,30,31,32,33,34]). In [30], Özdemir et al. proved a related identity and they found some new results by using this identity as follows:
Lemma 1.
Suppose a mapping is differentiable on where with If then for and , the following equality holds:
where is defined as above.
Theorem 2.
Suppose a mapping is differentiable on where with . If and is s-convex function on , then the following integral inequality holds:
where is defined as above.
Theorem 3.
Suppose a mapping is differentiable on where with If and is s-convex function on , then the following inequality holds:
where and and Γ is the Euler gamma function.
In [20], the Riemann–Liouville k-fractional integrals are defined as
and
For , the k-fractional integrals gives the Riemann–Liouville integral. If we take , the k-fractional integrals give the ’classical integrals’.
Theorem 4.
Theorem 5
([29]). Suppose a mapping with , If is convex on the closed interval , then the following inequality holds:
for .
In this paper, we discuss some new ideas and develop several related inequalities of the Hadamard-type for such mapping whose differentiation is k-fractional conformable.
The most important definitions of the left and right FCIO (Fractional Conformable Integral Operators) are defined respectively in [35] as
and
for and . It is obvious that if we take and , then (10) and (11) reduce to (3) and (4), respectively.
Now, the k-fractional conformable integral of generalized expression is defined in [28] as
and
where and .
2. Main Results

3. Conclusions
On the advancement of this article, we have presented the idea of a k-fractional conformable integral operator. Embracing this original methodology, we inferred another equality that corresponds with some novel and notable trapezoid type inequalities in the literature. For right and proper selection of definitions, we are attaining several new k-fractional conformable integral inequalities. We derived the Hermite–Hadamard type inequalities and also designed some new equations. It is probable that notions and skills of this article may invite concerned readers. If we take , we have similar results to those reported by Özdemir et al. [30]. This work demonstrates strategies that can be used to analyze many challenges in the area of conformable fractional calculus.
