Abstract
In this paper, firstly we have established a new generalization of Hermite–Hadamard inequality via p-convex function and fractional integral operators which generalize the Riemann–Liouville fractional integral operators introduced by Raina, Lun and Agarwal. Secondly, we proved a new identity involving this generalized fractional integral operators. Then, by using this identity, a new generalization of Hermite–Hadamard type inequalities for fractional integral are obtained.

1. Introduction
In mathematical literature (see, [1] and references therein ), the Hermite–Hadamard inequality, named after Charles Hermite (1822–1901) and Jacques Hadamard (1865–1963) and sometimes also called Hadamard’s inequality, states that if a function is convex, then the following chain of inequalities holds:
The inequality (1) is one of the most famous result for convex functions. A number of paper have been written on this inequality providing new proofs note worthy extensions, generalizations, refinements and new inequalities connected with the Hermite–Hadamard inequality. Since then, the inequality (1) has attracted many mathematicians attention. Especially, in the last three decades, numerous generalizations, variants and extensions of this inequality have been presented (see, e.g., [1,2,3,4,5,6,7]) and the references cited therein.
In [8], Zhang and Wan gave definition of p-convex function as follows.
Definition 1.
Let I be a p-convex set. A function is said to be a p-convex function or belongs to class , if
for all and
Remark 1 ([8]).
An interval I is said to be a p-convex set if for all and , where or , , and .
Definition 2 ([8]).
If be a real interval and , then for all and .
According to Remark (1), a different version of definition of p-convex function was given by İşcan as below.
Definition 3 ([9]).
Let be a real interval and . A function is said to be a p-convex function, if
for all and . If the inequality is reversed, then f is said to be p-concave.
According to definition above, it can easily be seen that for and p-convexity reduces to ordinary convexity and harmonically convexity [10] of functions defined on , respectively.
The Hermite–Hadamard inequality for p-convex functions is as the following (see [11,12])
Theorem 1.

For some result related to p-convex functions and its generalizations, we refer the reader to see now [8,9,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18].
We recall following special functions (see [19,20])

For more details and properties concerning with this fractional integral operators defination (4), we refer the reader, for example, to [2,19,21,22,23,24] and the references therein. In [4] Sarıkaya et al. proved the following inequality for fractional integrals.

Raina [25] introduced a class of functions defined formally by

Here, many useful fractional integral operators can be obtained by specializing the function . For instance, the classical Riemann–Liouville fractional integrals and of order follow easily by setting and in (4) and (5). Sarıkaya and Yaldız [7] proved Hermite–Hadamard type inequality involving the fractional integral operators (4) and (5) asserted by the following theorem.
Theorem 3.
Let and be a convex function on Then
The aim of this paper is to establish new Hermite–Hadamard type inequalities for p-convex functions in terms of generalized fractional integral operators.
2. Main Results
In the section, using generalized fractional integral operators, we start with stating and proving the fractional integral counter of Theorem 4, Lemma 1 and Theorem 5 then some other refinements will follow. We begin by the following theorem:
Theorem 4.
Let , be a p-convex function and with , . If , then we have
where
Proof.
Since f is p-convex function on , we have for all
Choosing and , then we get
Multiplying both sides of the inequality (8) by and then integrating the resulting inequality with respect to t over , then we obtain
Thus we have
which completes the proof of the first inequality.
Now we will prove the right-side of the inequality in (8). Using the p-convexity of f
and
By adding these inequalities, then we have
Multiplying both sides of inequality by and then integrating the resulting inequality with respest to t over we obtain
This completes the proof. □

Using Lemma 1 and p-convexity of we have,
So we have,
Thus,
From here,
Using (10) we obtain,
Thus, proof is completed. □
