Abstract
In this research, some novel Hermite–Hadamard–Fejér-type inequalities using Raina fractional integrals for the class of -convex functions are obtained. These inequalities are more comprehensive and inclusive than the corresponding ones present in the literature.
1. Introduction
Convexity has been known for a long time and has been intensively studied. Convex functions play a significant role in pure and applied mathematics, see [1,2,3]. To cope with the needs of modern mathematics, various generalizations of convex functions have been presented in the literature, such as the -convex function [4], coordinated convex function [5], harmonically convex function [6], -convex function [7], -convex function [8], biconvex function [9], refined convex function of Raina type [10], s-HH convex function [11], 4-convex function [12], -convex function [13] and so on. This work utilizes the -convex function, which is defined as follows.
Definition 1.
A function is said to be ϑ-convex on H if there is a function such that H is a ϑ-convex set and the inequality
is valid for each .
If the inequality sign in (1) is reversed, then p is called -concave on the set H. Every convex function p on a convex set H is a -convex function provided that . The Hermite–Hadamard-type inequality for -convex functions is given in the following theorem.
Theorem 1.
Suppose that is a continuous increasing function and with . Moreover, let be a ϑ-convex function on , then the inequality
is valid, see [14].
If in Theorem 1, then Inequality (2) reduces to the classical Hermite–Hadamard inequality
where p is a convex function on . For a thorough review of recent work related to Hermite–Hadamard-type inequalities, see [15] and the references therein. An extension of Inequality (3) is the classical Hermite–Hadamard–Fejér inequality
where the function is integrable and symmetric with respect to , see [16]. For detailed a investigation of Inequality (4), see [8,17,18,19]. In the present work, we will extend Inequality (4) for -convex functions.
It is riveting to study generalized convex functions in the scenario of fractional integral operators, see [20,21,22] and the references therein. There are various fractional operators inspired by applied problems or analytical approaches, for example, the Caputo–Fabrizio fractional integral [23], generalized fractional operators [24], fractional conformable operators [25], weighted fractional integrals [26], variable order and distributed order fractional operators [27], tempered fractional calculus [28,29] and the Raina fractional integral operator [30,31]. In the present paper, -convexity is utilized together with Raina fractional integrals. These integrals are defined in the following.
Definition 2.
Suppose that , then for , the Raina fractional integrals of p are given as follows
and
Here, is the Raina function given as follows
where is a bounded sequence of positive real numbers, see [31].
The Raina fractional integrals are highly significant because of their generality. For instance, if we set , and in Definition 2, then the classical Riemann–Liouville fractional integrals are obtained
and
Similarly, various fractional integrals can be obtained by specifying the coefficients . For recent work on inequalities based on Raina fractional integrals, see [20,32] and the references therein. In this article, we obtain Hermite–Hadamard–Fejér-type inequalities for -convex functions in the context of Raina fractional integrals; therefore, the results will be novel and considerably general.
2. Results
In this section, we establish the Hermite–Hadamard–Fejér inequalities in the setting of -convex functions and Raina fractional integrals. Firstly, we generalize Inequality (4) for -convex functions. Then, a Hermite–Hadamard–Fejér-type inequality for -convex functions involving the Raina fractional integral is obtained. Moreover, the estimates related to the left-hand side of this generalized fractional inequality are provided. The correlation of these results with the contemporary results present in the literature is also determined. We begin with the following result.

3. Conclusions
In the present work, Hermite–Hadamard–Fejér-type inequalities are established by utilizing the Raina fractional integrals for -convex functions. Primarily, a generalized version of the Hermite–Hadamard–Fejér inequality for -convex functions is obtained. Moreover, the fractional Hermite–Hadamard–Fejér inequality is also established by using Raina fractional integrals. Furthermore, right-sided estimates are formulated for the said fractional inequality. The backward compatibility of the results obtained in the study shows that these results are a considerable extension of the analogous results present in the literature.
