Abstract
In the present paper, we first prove a new integral identity. Using that identity, we establish some fractional weighted midpoint-type inequalities for functions whose first derivatives are extended s-convex. Some special cases are discussed. Finally, to prove the effectiveness of our main results, we provide some applications to numerical integration as well as special means.
1. Introduction
It is well known that convexity is one of the most fundamental principles of analysis that is widely used in several fields of pure and applied sciences. Especially, in the classical theory of optimization where convexity causes it to be possible to obtain necessary and sufficient global optimality conditions; in consumer theory in economics, information theory as well as in the field of inequalities where the relationship is closely linked. For papers related to convexity and integral inequalities we refer readers to [1,2,3,4,5].
A real function defined on E is called convex; if for all and all , we have
We note that all convex function on a finite interval, and must satisfy the so called Hermite–Hadamard inequality (see [6]).
Inequality (1) can be seen as a second definition of convex functions equivalent to the first one for continuous function (see [7]); it is a character of which all convex functions must satisfy at least the left- or right-hand side.
Kirmaci [9] proved that, for all function f such that or are convex, the following inequalities hold:
where . Furthermore, they proved the following result

İşcan et al. [10] showed the following midpoint inequalities for P-functions (see (3) below):

Nowadays, fractional calculus has become a popular implement for scientists. It has been successfully used in various fields of science and engineering see [11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18]. Its main strength in the description of memory and genetic properties of different materials and processes has aroused great interest for researchers in different domains. This innovative idea of fractional calculus has attracted many researchers in recent years, several generalizations, extensions, refinements, and finding a counterpart have appeared (see [19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26]).
Furthermore, the authors investigate the following fractional midpoint inequalities for convex-first derivatives
and
where with is the gamma function and and are the Riemann–Liouville integrals (see Definition 1 below).
Motivated by the above results, here, we first prove a new integral identity and, then, by using this identity, we establish some fractional weighted midpoint-type inequalities for functions that the first derivatives are extended s-convex functions. We also derive some known results and, state applications in numerical integration and in special means are presented to prove the effectiveness of our main results.
