1. Introduction and Foundational Concepts
1.1. Overview and Motivation
Convexity occupies a central role in mathematical analysis, particularly in the derivation of inequalities. A mapping
is defined as convex on
I if, for all
and
, the inequality
holds.
Convex mappings play a crucial role in the analysis of integral inequalities. A key result in this area is the Hermite–Hadamard inequality, which connects the value of a convex mapping at the midpoint of an interval with its integral mean over that interval:
These inequalities are indispensable in numerical analysis, approximation theory, and the formulation of error estimates for integration schemes.
In [
1], Kirmaci established the following result related to the first inequality of (

Theorem 1 ([
1])
. Consider a differentiable mapping such that , with , and . If exhibits convexity on , then In [
2], Dragomir and Agarwal established the following result related to the second inequality of (

Theorem 2 ([
2])
. Consider a differentiable mapping such that , with , and . If exhibits convexity on , then the following inequality holds: One of the most important generalizations of the concept of convexity is the class of
s-convex mappings introduced in [
3] as follows:
Definition 1. A mapping is deemed to be s-convex in the second sense for a fixed ifholds for all and . Dragomir and Fitzpatrick [
4] generalized the outcome in (
1) to the class of
s-convex mappings (in the second sense) defined in
for parameters
, as formulated in the following inequality:
1.2. Principles of Multiplicative Calculus
The concept of multiplicative calculus, originally introduced by Grosman and Katz [
5] in 1972, was designed as a substitute for classical calculus to address problems related to multiplicative processes and rates of change. This specialized branch of calculus, which deals exclusively with positive-valued mappings, achieved a solid mathematical foundation through the detailed contributions of Bashirov et al. in 2008 [
6]. Its value lies in its ability to model growth, decay, and proportional interactions with greater precision. Over time, it has proven particularly useful in disciplines such as finance [
7], biology [
8], and physics [
9], offering an innovative approach to scenarios where traditional calculus might be less effective. To lay the groundwork for our analysis, we first revisit foundational concepts of multiplicative calculus that form the prerequisite framework for this study.
Proposition 1 ([
6])
. [(The multiplicative absolute value)] Let . The multiplicative modulus of , alternatively referred to as the multiplicative absolute value, is formally defined as follows:which can also be written as , where is the classical absolute value. Remark 1 (The multiplicative triangle inequality).
The multiplicative triangle inequality is formally defined as follows:for . Proposition 2 ([
6], Multiplicative tests for monotonicity)
. Given a multiplicative differentiable mapping.If for all , then is multiplicative increasing on .
If for all , then is multiplicative decreasing on .
Definition 2 ([
6])
. The multiplicative derivative of a positive mapping , represented by , is expressed as follows: Remark 2. Any positive differentiable mapping inherently possesses multiplicative differentiability. The interplay between and the standard derivative is articulated through the following identity: Definition 3 ([
6])
. Any positive mapping that is Riemann integrable is necessarily multiplicative integrable, and the multiplicative integral is connected to the Riemann integral through the following relationship: Proposition 3 ([
6])
. Consider two positive and multiplicative integrable mappings and . Then, we have, ,
, and
Theorem 3 ([
6])
. Consider a positive multiplicative differentiable mapping on , and let be differentiable. Then, the mapping is multiplicative integrable, and the result below is satisfied: Lemma 1 ([
6])
. Let be a positive mapping that is differentiable in the multiplicative sense on , and suppose and are two differentiable mappings. Then, the following holds: Within the framework of multiplicative calculus, the counterpart to classical convexity is referred to as multiplicative convexity or logarithmic convexity, which is defined as follows:
Definition 4 ([
10], Multiplicative convexity)
. A mapping is considered multiplicative convex over the interval I if it is positive, and for all , the following inequalityholds true for all . The analogue of the concept of s-convexity in the context of multiplicative calculus is defined as follows:
Definition 5 ([
11], Multiplicative
s-convexity)
. A mapping is considered multiplicative s-convex in the second sense on I for a fixed if, for all , the inequalityholds true for all . The Hermite–Hadamard inequality for the multiplicative integral was provided by Ali et al. [
12] as follows:
Theorem 4 ([
12])
. Consider a multiplicative convex mapping . Then, the inequalitieshold true. In [
13], Özcan provided a Hermite–Hadamard inequality for the multiplicative integral via multiplicative
s-convexity in the following manner:
Theorem 5 ([
13])
. Consider a multiplicative s-convex mapping . Then, the inequalitieshold true. In [
14], Khan and Budak established midpoint and trapezoid inequalities pertaining to multiplicative integrals as follows:
Theorem 6 ([
14])
. Consider the mapping that is multiplicative increasing and multiplicative differentiable on , with and belonging to . If is multiplicative convex on , then we have Theorem 7 ([
14])
. Consider the mapping that is multiplicative increasing and multiplicative differentiable on , with and belonging to . If is multiplicative convex on , then we have In subsequent studies, researchers have focused on deriving error estimates for classical quadrature methods through the lens of multiplicative integrals. Notable examples include the Ostrowski and Simpson rules [
15], the Maclaurin [
16] and dual Simpson [
17] schemes, as well as Hermite–Hadamard inequalities [
18,
19]. These advancements have substantially deepened the theoretical foundations of inequalities within multiplicative calculus. Comprehensive discussions on multiplicative integral inequalities can be found in [
20,
21].
1.3. Fundamentals of Fractional Calculus
Fractional calculus extends classical calculus by generalizing derivatives and integrals to non-integer orders, providing a powerful framework for modeling complex systems with memory and hereditary effects. Among the most celebrated fractional integral operators are the Riemann–Liouville operators, which play a foundational role in the theory and application of fractional calculus. In what follows, we provide the definition of these operators as a starting point for further exploration.
Definition 6 ([
22])
. Let . The right-sided Riemann–Liouville fractional integral and the left-sided one of order with , are defined byandrespectively, where is the Gamma mapping, and . Definition 7 ([
23])
. Let . The right and left Hadamard fractional integrals of any order are defined byandrespectively. Definition 8 ([
24])
. Let . The right- and left-sided Katugampola fractional integrals of order with and are expressed asandrespectively, where ( and the range ) represents the set of complex-valued mappings that are Lebesgue measurable and for which the normremains finite. Remark 3. Given the conditions and for , it is noted that
- 1.
When ρ tends to 1, the right Katugampola fractional integral, denoted as , converges to the Riemann–Liouville fractional integral, represented by .
- 2.
Conversely, as ρ nears , the convergence of aligns with that of the Hadamard fractional integral .
This observation similarly applies to related results for left-sided operators.
For some results on fractional integral inequalities via different types of fractional integrals, we refer the reader to [
25,
26] and the references cited therein.
We now recall the beta and incomplete beta functions frequently employed in the realm of fractional calculus.
Definition 9 ([
22])
. The incomplete beta function is defined bywhere is the Gamma function, and and .For , we retrieve the beta function expressed by 1.4. Bridging the Gap: Fractional Multiplicative Calculus
The notion of fractional multiplicative integrals and derivatives was introduced in [
27] in the following manner:
Definition 10 ([
27])
. The right Riemann–Liouville fractional multiplicative integral of order beginning with is expressed asand the left one is specified bywhere and are the right and left Riemann–Liouville fractional integrals defined as in (
2)
and (
3)
, respectively. Following the introduction of such fractional multiplicative integrals, numerous researchers have conducted various studies aiming to establish different types of integral inequalities, including Ostrowski-type [
28], Bullen-type [
29], Simpson-type [
30], Maclaurin-type [
31,
32], and Newton-type inequalities [
33]. Additional relevant results can be found in [
34,
35,
36,
37] and the references cited therein.
In [
38], Budak and Özçelik provided the following Hermite–Hadamard inequality for multiplicative convex mappings:
Theorem 8. Let such that with . If is multiplicative convex in , then the inequalitieshold for . The inequalities of the midpoint and trapezoid through the Riemann–Liouville fractional multiplicative integrals for multiplicative convex mappings were provided by Budak and Ergün in [
39].
Theorem 9. Consider a multiplicative increasing and multiplicative differentiable mapping . If possesses multiplicative convexity, then we haveand In [
40], Zhou and Du introduced Hadamard fractional multiplicative integrals in the following manner:
Definition 11 ([
40])
. The right-sided Hadamard fractional multiplicative integral of order with is defined byand the left-sided one is defined byHere, the symbols and denote the right- and left-sided Hadamard fractional integrals defined as in (
4)
and (
5)
, respectively. In the same study, the authors investigate a range of analytical characteristics of these operators, such as integrability, continuity, commutativity, the semigroup property, boundedness, and more. Following this, they established Hermite–Hadamard inequalities for
-convex mappings. For additional research on multiplicative inequalities using different kinds of fractional multiplicative integrals, readers can consult [
41,
42,
43,
44,
45,
46,
47,
48,
49,
50].
The concept of Katugampola fractional multiplicative integrals was first introduced by Ai and Du in [
51].
Definition 12 ([
51])
. Let such that with . The right- and left-sided multiplicative Katugampola fractional integrals of order with and are defined byandwhere , and the symbols and denote the right- and left-sided Katugampola fractional integrals defined as in (
6)
and (
7)
, respectively. Remark 4 ([
51])
. Let such that with . The right- and left-sided multiplicative Katugampola fractional integrals of order with and can be expressed in the following alternative form:andrespectively. After introducing these novel fractional multiplicative integrals, the authors derived the subsequent Newton-type inequalities for mappings with multiplicative convex second-order multiplicative derivatives:
Theorem 10 ([
51])
. Let be a twice multiplicative differentiable mapping on . Under the hypothesis that possesses multiplicative convexity on together with and , then the following inequality, which relates to Katugampola fractional multiplicative integrals, holds:whereand Motivated by the recently introduced operators in [
51], and aiming to explore such integrals and extend several well-known results within this framework, we first derive the Hermite–Hadamard inequality for these newly proposed integrals in
Section 2, specifically for multiplicative s-convex mappings. Subsequently, by introducing two novel identities based on Katugampola fractional multiplicative integrals for multiplicative differentiable mappings, we establish several Katugampola fractional multiplicative midpoint- and trapezoid-type inequalities for mappings whose multiplicative derivatives are multiplicative
s-convex in
Section 3 and
Section 4, respectively. To validate our findings, a numerical example is presented in
Section 5. In
Section 6, we highlight practical applications of the obtained results. Finally, we summarize our contributions and outline potential directions for future research in
Section 7.
The study conducted in this paper not only presents new results related to these novel integrals but also provides several generalized versions of well-established and celebrated findings in the existing literature. Notably, our work incorporates the multiplicative absolute value instead of the classical absolute value commonly used in prior studies. The latter appears inadequate when dealing with inherently positive quantities, whereas the multiplicative absolute value enables deriving results valid for both a quantity and its reciprocal , thereby broadening the scope and applicability of the analysis.
2. Hermite–Hadamard Inequality
In this section, we establish the Hermite–Hadamard inequality for multiplicative s-convex mappings using the newly introduced Katugampola fractional multiplicative integrals.

4. Trapezoid-Type Inequalities
Here, we present another new identity based on Katugampola fractional multiplicative integrals and subsequently establish trapezoid-type inequalities via multiplicative s-convexity.
Lemma 3. Consider a multiplicative differentiable mapping such that and . Then, the following equality holds: Proof. By integrating the right side of (
22), we get
The proof is completed. □
Theorem 15. Consider a multiplicative increasing mapping , and assume that it is multiplicative differentiable on with . If is multiplicative s-convex on , then the inequalityholds, where is the incomplete beta function, respectively. Proof. By applying the multiplicative absolute value for both sides of the equality given in Lemma 3, we get
Now, using the fact that

s-convex, inequality (
23) gives
where we have used
The proof is completed. □
Corollary 4. By setting in Theorem 15, we obtain the following Katugampola fractional multiplicative trapezoid-type inequalities via multiplicative convexity: Corollary 5. By setting in Theorem 15, we obtain the following trapezoid-type inequality via Riemann–Liouville fractional multiplicative integrals:Moreover, if we take , we getwhich coincides with the second inequality presented in Theorem 9 provided by Budak and Ergün in [39]. Remark 7. Setting , Theorem 15 simplifies to Theorem 7 from [14]. Theorem 16. Consider a multiplicative increasing mapping and assume that it is multiplicative differentiable on with . If is s-convex on , where with , then we havewhere and are defined as in (
25)

Through the application of Theorem 15, we establish the inequalitygiven thatFigure 2 illustrates a graphical comparison of both sides of (2)
. As depicted, the left-hand side remains uniformly bounded above by the right-hand side, thereby confirming the validity of the theoretical result derived in Theorem 15. 6. Applications of Derived Inequalities to Special Means
In this section, we investigate the practical implications of the derived inequalities and emphasize their significance in the context of special means. To begin, we revisit several well-known means for arbitrary real numbers and , defined as follows:

7. Conclusions
In this study, we have introduced and explored new inequalities within the framework of multiplicative s-convex mappings and Katugampola fractional multiplicative integrals. Starting with the derivation of the Hermite–Hadamard inequality for multiplicative s-convex mappings, we extended our analysis to establish novel midpoint and trapezoid inequalities using Katugampola fractional multiplicative integrals. The theoretical findings were validated through a numerical example, demonstrating their accuracy and applicability. Furthermore, we discussed practical applications of these results, emphasizing their potential impact in various fields.
This work not only enriches the theory of fractional calculus and convex analysis but also opens up new avenues for further investigation. Future research could focus on generalizing these results to broader classes of mappings, exploring additional applications, or extending the framework to other types of fractional operators. By building on the foundation laid here, researchers can continue to advance the understanding of inequalities and their role in mathematical analysis and beyond.
