Abstract
There is a strong correlation between the concept of convexity and symmetry. One of these is the class of interval-valued cr-log-h-convex functions, which is closely related to the theory of symmetry. In this paper, we obtain Hermite–Hadamard and its weighted version inequalities that are related to interval-valued cr-log-h-convex functions, and some known results are recaptured. To support our main results, we offer three examples and two applications related to modified Bessel functions and special means as well.

1. Introduction
In recent years, there has been a notable surge in the exploration of various extensions of convex functions, unveiling a rich landscape beyond traditional convexity. Convexity, a fundamental concept with far-reaching implications in fields such as optimal control and game theory, has long been a cornerstone of mathematical analysis. However, real-world applications often present functions that exhibit properties falling within a broader spectrum than strict convexity. This realization has sparked considerable interest in the study of generalized convexity, an area of research that continues to captivate scholars. The quest to understand and leverage generalized convexity has led to the development of numerous novel frameworks tailored to address practical challenges. Among these, the Hermite–Hadamard inequality stands out as a bridge between convex function theory and integral inequalities, finding relevance across diverse scientific domains. Moreover, the intricate interplay between convexity and symmetry concepts has given rise to intriguing classes of functions, such as interval-valued cr-log-h-convex functions, with profound implications in symmetry theory.
These inequalities serve as powerful tools with practical utility spanning optimization, numerical analysis, and statistics. Notably, the Hermite–Hadamard inequality, recognized as an analog of convexity, necessitates the presence of generalized convexity for its establishment. In engineering, particularly in the realm of 3D printing technology, both the Hermite–Hadamard inequality and He Chengtian’s inequality are frequently employed to approximate printing speeds, addressing the challenge of forecasting speeds with precision (see e.g., [1,2,3]).
The field of inequalities research encompasses a broad spectrum of theoretical and applied mathematics, attracting contributions from renowned scholars such as Josip E. Pecaric and Dragoslav S. Mitrinović. Pioneering works like “Convex Functions, Partial Orderings, and Statistical Applications” by Pecarič in [4] and “Analytic Inequalities” by Mitrinović in [5] shed light on the intricate relationships between analytic, convex, and probabilistic aspects of inequalities. These works, along with seminal contributions like the Hermite–Hadamard inequality, enrich our understanding of these mathematical tools and their applications, broadening the horizon of mathematical knowledge.

Utilizing cr-log-h-convex interval-valued functions introduces an innovative framework for comprehending and enhancing intricate mathematical systems. This interdisciplinary approach, blending concepts from convex analysis, interval mathematics, and fractional calculus, offers a more nuanced and comprehensive method for addressing mathematical problems. It has the potential to generate novel insights and solutions across various domains, including optimization, control theory, and other fields reliant on mathematical modeling.
In the main section, we give various type inequalities of Hermite–Hadamard and its weighted version specifically for functions that are cr-log-h-convex. To further illustrate the validity of our findings, we present two applications and three examples. Finally, in the last section, we wrap up the paper by summarizing our conclusions and offering suggestions for potential avenues of future research.

5. Conclusions
In this paper, using the notion of cr-log-h-convexity for interval-valued functions several types of Hermite–Hadamard and Fejér inequalities that are related to interval-valued cr-log-h-convex functions have been given. Moreover, several special cases are given and some known results are recaptured. To show the validity of our main results, we have offered three examples and two applications related to modified Bessel functions of the first kind, and special means. We believe that this class of convexity is a powerful type to find various type inequalities in the fields of fuzzy systems and real analysis, and with possible applications to optimization problems with convex shapes associated with them.
