Abstract
In this paper, we use -integral to establish some Fejér type inequalities. In particular, we generalize and correct existing results of quantum Fejér type inequalities by using new techniques and showing some problematic parts of those results. Most of the inequalities presented in this paper are significant extensions of results which appear in existing literatures.

1. Introduction
Quantum calculus or q-calculus, the modern name of the study of calculus without limits, has been studied since the early eighteenth century. The famous mathematician Leonhard Euler (1707–1783) established q-calculus and, in 1910, F. H. Jackson [1] determined the definite q-integral called the q-Jackson integral. Many applications of quantum calculus appear in mathematics, such as number theory, orthogonal polynomials, combinatorics, basic hypergeometric functions, and in physics, such as mechanics, relativity theory and quantum theory, see for instance [2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10] and the references therein. Furthermore, the fundamental knowledge and also the fundamental theoretical concepts of quantum calculus are covered in the book by V. Kac and P. Cheung [11].
In 2013, J. Tariboon and S. K. Ntouyas [12] defined the q-derivative and q-integral of a continuous function on finite interval along with some studying of its significant properties. In addition, they firstly extended some inequalities to q-calculus, such as Cauchy–Bunyakovsky–Schwarz, Grüss, Grüss-Čebyšev, Hermite–Hadamard, Hölder, Ostrowski and Trapezoid inequalities by applying such definitions; see [13] for more details. Based on these results, there is much research on q-calculus; see [14,15,16,17,18,19,20] and the references cited therein.
In recent years, many interesting quantum integral inequalities on finite interval have been considered more generally in -calculus, which was first considered by R. Chakrabarti and R. Jagannathan [21]. In 2016, M. Tunç and E. Göv [22,23] introduced the -derivative and -integral on finite interval while proving some properties, and gave several inequalities of integral via -calculus. In addition, some more results of -calculus appear in [24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33] and the references cited therein.
The function is called convex if
for all and f is called concave provided that is convex.
Let I be the interval or real numbers and be a convex function on I with constants in The well-known inequality which is Hermite–Hadamard inequality [34] is
In 2000, S. S. Dragomir et al. [35,36] proved related result to the Hermite–Hadamard inequality, as in the following.

The Hermite–Hadamard inequality and the Hermite–Hadamard–Fejr inequalities, which are famous inequalities for convex functions, have a deep relationship to its integral mean, see [37,38,39,40,41,42,43,44,45,46,47] for more details and the references cited therein. A weighted generalization of inequality (1) was introduced by L. Fej [48], as in the following.

Some inequalities of Hermite–Hadamard–Fejér type for differentiable functions follow from Theorem 3.
Theorem 4.
Ref. [49] Let be a twice differentiable function with in I such that . If is integrable, nonnegative and symmetric about , then

In q-calculus, some Fejr type inequalities for differentiable functions were established by W. Yang [50]. Moreover, Fejr type inequalities for fractional integrals were established by M. Z. Sarikaya [51].
In this paper, we propose to generalize and extend some Fejr-type inequalities in q-integral and fractional integral to -integral. In particular, we correct existing results of quantum Fejr-type inequalities by using new techniques and showing some problematic parts of those results. The results presented here would extend some of those in existing literatures.

3. Main Results
In 2017, W. Yang [50] obtained some Fejr-type quantum integral inequalities. Unfortunately, there are many mistakes in the proofs. Many q-integrals are calculated incorrectly. Besides, the results of lemma and theorems are also wrong. Here, we will show the errors of Lemma 3 in [50].
Statement 1

Proof.
Taking -integral for Inequality (6) with respect to over yields

Taking -integral for Inequality (24) with respect to over yields
Using directly computation and variable changing in (25), we obtain
Similarly, multiplying the first inequality of Theorem 3 by , and subsequently take -integral on the obtained inequality with respect to over yield
From (27), we change the variable and apply the symmetry of , it follows that
Next, multiplying the second inequality of Theorem 3 by , and subsequently taking -integral on the obtained inequality with respect to over yields
Remark 2.

4. Conclusions
We have established some inequalities of Fejr-type inequalities by using -integral, such as the trapezoid-like inequalities, the midpoint-like inequalities, the Fejr-like inequalities. In particular, we generalized and corrected existing results of quantum Fejr-type inequalities by using new techniques and showing some problematic parts of those results. Our work improves the results of Fejr-type quantum integral inequalities. By taking and , our results give classical inequalities. The -integral inequalities deduced in the present research are very general and helpful in error estimations involved in various approximation processes. With these contributions, we hope that these techniques and ideas established in this article will inspire the interest of readers in exploring the field of -integral inequalities.
