Abstract
The class of symmetric function interacts extensively with other types of functions. One of these is the class of convex functions, which is closely related to the theory of symmetry. In this paper, we obtain some new fractional Hermite–Hadamard inequalities with an exponential kernel for subadditive functions and for their product, and some known results are recaptured. Moreover, using a new identity as an auxiliary result, we deduce several inequalities for subadditive functions pertaining to the new fractional integrals involving an exponential kernel. To validate the accuracy of our results, we offer some examples for suitable choices of subadditive functions and their graphical representations.

1. Introduction
Hille and Phillips’ work [1] is the key contribution to the general theory of subadditive functions. In addition, a portion of Rosenbaum’s [2] research on subadditive functions involving many variables is included. Measure theory, a number of mathematical disciplines, and mathematical inequalities all make use of the ideas of additivity, subadditivity, and superadditivity. Numerous examples of additive, subadditive, and superadditive functions, including error functions, norms, growth rates, differential equations, square roots, and integral means, can be found in a variety of mathematical contexts. One of the most developed areas in theoretical and practical mathematics, physics, and other applied disciplines is inequality theory, specifically subadditive function theory. Here, we highlight the findings of [3,4,5,6,7,8,9].
Definition 1.
A function is said to be subadditive on if for all such that we have
If the equality holds, Υ is called additive; if the Inequality (1) is reversed, Υ is called superadditive.
Theory of convexity played a significant role in the development of theory of inequalities. Symmetric convex sets have a variety of significant characteristics. The fact that we can work on one and then apply it to the other is an important aspect of the relationship between symmetry and convexity.
Definition 2 ([10]).
A function is said to be convex, if
holds for all and
The following Hermite-Hadamard’s inequality (H-H) is one of the well-known studied results involving convex functions.
Theorem 1
([11,12]). Let be a convex function on for and then
The convexity property of the functions can be used to obtain many well-known inequalities. Some improvements to the H-H inequality on convex functions have been thoroughly studied since then; for more information, see the articles [13,14,15,16,17,18,19], as well as the references therein.
Recently, Sarikaya and Ali [20] proved the following interesting integral inequalities of H-H type for continuous subadditive functions.
Theorem 2.
Let be a continuous subadditive function with and then the following inequality holds true:
Theorem 3.
Let be two continuous subadditive functions with and then the following inequalities hold true:
and
Finally, let us recall the following definition regarding fractional integral operators with exponential kernels that will be used in the sequel.
Definition 3
([21,22]). Let where Then the fractional integrals with exponential kernel and of order are defined as
and
respectively.
It is crucial to stress that Leibniz and L’Hospital are responsible for developing the concept of fractional calculus (1695). Other mathematicians have significantly contributed to the topic of fractional calculus and its many applications, including Riemann, Liouville, Erdéli, Grünwald, Letnikov, and Kober. Due to its behaviour and ability to deal with real-world problems, fractional calculus is of interest to many physical and engineering professionals. The study of so-called fractional order integral and derivative functions over real and complex domains, as well as its applications, are currently the focus of fractional calculus. Since fractional mathematical models are specific instances of fractional order mathematical models, they produce more conclusive and accurate conclusions than classical mathematical models. Different mathematical models are used to explain the endemics’ distinctive transmission dynamics and gain understanding of how infection affects a new population. In order to increase the precision and accuracy of real phenomenons, non-integer order fractional differential equations (FDEs) are used (see [23,24,25,26,27]). Furthermore, Refs. [28,29,30] contains other intriguing results for fractional calculus. However, fractional calculation allows us to take any number of orders and create far more measurable goals. Mathematicians have grown increasingly interested in employing a range of novel theories of fractional integral operators to illustrate well-known inequalities in recent years.
There are many published articles regarding inequalities but in our paper we have done the numerical analysis and their graphical representations for suitable choices of subadditive functions. For the correctness of the presented results, we discussed some examples and validate those via numerical estimations and graphs with the change of the parameter . The results presented in this study are substantial generalizations of previous findings given by Sarikaya et al. [20]. Additivity, subadditivity and superadditivity functions play an important role both in measure theory and in different fields of mathematics. Here, we have obtained some new fractional Hermite–Hadamard inequalities with an exponential kernel for subadditive functions and for the product of two such functions. Our results obtained here deviate moderately from the recent research directions.
Motivated from above results and literature, this work includes the following sections: In Section 2, we will obtain some new fractional H-H inequalities with an exponential kernel for subadditive functions and for their product, and some known results will be recaptured. In Section 3, using a new identity as an auxiliary result, we will deduce several inequalities for subadditive functions pertaining to fractional integrals with an exponential kernel. To validate the accuracy of our results, we will offer some examples for suitable choices of subadditive functions and their graphical representations. The conclusion and future research will be given in Section 4.

4. Conclusions
In this paper, we established some new fractional H-H inequalities with an exponential kernel for subadditive functions, for product of two such functions and some known results are recaptured as well. Moreover, we proved a new identity, that acts as an auxiliary result for the derivation of further inequalities involving subadditive functions via fractional integrals. To validate the accuracy of our results, we give some examples for suitable choices of subadditive functions and their graphical representations with . We believe that our results using fractional integral operators with exponential kernels open many avenues for interested researchers working in this field and they can discover further approximations for different kinds of fractional integral operators and functions as well. Moreover, we can apply the obtained results in special functions, quantum calculus, applied mathematics, etc, in related future research works.
