1. Introduction and Preliminaries
The Hermite–Hadamard inequality states that if a function is convex, then
where with . Both inequalities hold in the reversed direction if is concave.
In recent years, many researchers have turned their attention to the Hermite–Hadamard inequality and have found many variations and generalizations of it via various types of convexity. Some of this research is related to functions that are convex on the coordinates (see, for instance, [,,,,] and the references therein).
Coordinated convex functions are defined as:
Definition 1.

Along with , if , then (3) reduces to an integral operator defined by Prabhaker in [] containing Mittag–Leffler function . For in (3), the integral operator reduces to the Riemann–Liouville fractional integral operator []. Note that is absolutely convergent for all , where . Since with , we have
Inspired by Definition 3, we give the following new definition:

2. Main Results
Now we are in a position to present our main results.
Lemma 2.

Proof.
Using symmetry with respect to and on the coordinates and substitutions , , we have
Now, using with respect to and substitution , we obtain
Lemma 3.

Since is a convex function on , we have for all
Multiplying both sides of (10) by then integrating the resulting inequality with respect to t over , we obtain
Setting and gives
So
and using Lemma 1, we have
The first inequality is proved.
For the proof of the second inequality of (9), we first note that if is a convex function, then for all , it yields
Then, multiplying both sides of (11) by and integrating the resulting inequality with respect to t over , we obtain
That is,
The proof is completed. □
Remark 2.
If in Lemma 3 we put , we obtain [] (Theorem 2.2).
The next result is the Hermite–Hadamard-type inequality for coordinated convex functions containing the generalized Mittag–Leffler function.
Theorem1.
Let be coordinated convex on in with and . Then, one has the inequalities

Using (2) with , and , we find that
Thus, multiplying both sides of (13) by and by integrating with respect to on , we obtain
Using substitutions , we have
with , , and
Analogously, we obtain
Using Lemma 2, introducing relationships (15)–(19) in (14) and after multiplying with , we get
by which the first inequality of (12) is proved.
Then, multiplying both sides of (21) by and integrating with respect to on , we get
So, after multiplying with and using Lemma 2, we have
which finishes the proof. □
The following theorem establishes Hermite–Hadamard–Fejér-type inequalities for coordinated convex functions containing the generalized Mittag–Leffler function.
Theorem 2.

Analogously, we get
and
Introducing (25)–(29) in (24), multiplying the inequality with , and using Lemma 2, we have the first inequality of (22).
We shall prove the second inequality of (22). Since is a convex function on , for all , it yields
Multiplying both sides of (30) by and integrating with respect to on , we obtain
Finally, by using Lemma 2 we get the second part of inequality (22), and the proof is complete. □

, , , , , and .
Since is convex on the coordinates, it follows that the mapping is convex on and is non-negative, integrable, and symmetric with respect to , for all . Then, thanks to inequalities (9) we have
That is,
Multiplying both sides of (32) by and , and integrating with respect to x over , respectively, we have
For the mappings and , we use the same arguments as before. So we can state that

So,
This gives the second and third inequalities in (31).
Now we will show the first inequality in (31).
Apply Lemma 3 for the functions and :
Therefore,
Multiplying both sides of (37) by and and integrating with respect to y over , respectively, we have
The same way, we apply Lemma 3 for the functions and , and we get:
For the last inequality of (31), we apply Lemma 3 to the functions
- 1.
- and ,
- 2.
- and ,
- 3.
- and
- 4.
- and ,
and we obtain
and
Then we have inequality
We get four inequalities that we are adding, and taking into account the symmetry of , we obtain the last inequality of (31). The proof is complete. □
Remark 4.
If in Theorem 3 we put , we obtain [] (Theorem 8).
3. Conclusions
First, we introduced and studied generalized fractional integral operators containing the new extended general Mittag–Leffler function of two variables. We then obtained several new two-dimensional versions of trapezium-like inequalities via coordinated convex functions. We also discussed the linkage of the obtained results with previously known results by considering some special cases. It is expected that the ideas and techniques of this paper may stimulate further research.
