1. Introduction and Preliminaries
Inequalities play a pivotal role in almost all branches of mathematics. For instance, the inequalities arising from the convexity property of related functions have numerous applications in the study of qualitative theory of differential equations and partial differential equations (see, for example, the papers of [
1,
2] for more details). In modern analysis, a significant amount of inequalities can be obtained by using the convexity property of the functions. Hermite–Hadamard’s inequality is one of the most studied inequalities pertaining to convexity. This result reads as
if
is a convex function on closed interval
In recent years, the improvements, generalizations, and variants of Hermite–Hadamard’s inequality have been the subject of much research. In this regard, a variety of novel and innovative approaches have been utilized in obtaining new refinements of Hermite–Hadamard’s inequality. For the first time, Tariboon and Ntouyas [
3] obtained a
-analogue of Hermite–Hadamard’s inequality using the concepts of quantum calculus, which is also known as calculus without limits. In quantum calculus, we establish the
-analogues of classical mathematical objects that can be recaptured by taking
. Alp et al. [
4] obtained a corrected
-analogue of Hermite–Hadamard’s inequality. Noor et al. [
5] and Sudsutad et al. [
6] derived some more
-analogues of Hermite–Hadamard-like inequalities involving first order
-differentiable convex functions, and Liu and Zhuang [
7] established these analogues via second order
-differentiable convex functions. Zhang et al. [
8] obtained a new generalized
-integral identity and obtained several new
-analogues of a first order
-differentiable convex function.
Chakarabarti and Jagannathan [
9] studied post-quantum calculus, which is another significant generalization of quantum calculus is the post-quantum calculus. In quantum calculus, we deal with a
-number with one base
, but post-quantum calculus includes
and
-numbers with two independent variables
and
. Tunç and Gov [
10] introduced the concepts of
-derivatives
and
-integrals on finite intervals
for all
where
, as follows.
Definition 1 ([
10]).
Let be a continuous function and let and . The -derivative on of function Υ
at x is then defined as Definition 2 ([
10]).
Let be a continuous function. The -integral on is then defined asfor and Since then, several new variants of classical integral inequalities have been obtained using the concepts of post-quantum calculus. For example, Awan et al. [
11] obtained a generalized
-integral identity and obtained several new
-analogues of trapezium-like inequalities. Kunt et al. [
12] obtained some
-analogues of Hermite–Hadamard and mid-point type inequalities. Yu et al. [
13] derived several new
-analogues of some classical integral inequalities and discussed applications as well.
Definition 3. A set is said to be an invex set with respect to the mapping if for every and The invex set is also called an ζ-connected set.
Before we proceed further, let us recall the definition of -preinvex functions.
Definition 4 ([
14]).
A function Υ
on the invex set is said to be ψ-preinvex with respect to if Remark 1. Note the following:
- I.
If we take in Definition 4, then we have the definition of a ψ-convex function, see [15]. - II.
If we choose in Definition 4, then we obtain the class of classical preinvex functions, see [16].
The main motivation of this article is to derive a new post-quantum integral identity using twice -differentiable functions. Using the identity as an auxiliary result, we will obtain some new variants of Hermite–Hadamard’s inequality essentially via the class of -preinvex functions. To support our results, we also present some applications to a special means of positive real numbers and twice -differentiable functions that are in absolute value bounded. We hope that the ideas and techniques of this paper will inspire interested readers working in this field.
