Abstract
In this paper, we prove some new Newton’s type inequalities for differentiable convex functions through the well-known Riemann–Liouville fractional integrals. Moreover, we prove some inequalities of Riemann–Liouville fractional Newton’s type for functions of bounded variation. It is also shown that the newly established inequalities are the extension of comparable inequalities inside the literature. Finally, we give some examples with graphs and show the validity of newly established inequalities.
1. Introduction
Fractional calculus (that is, calculus of integrals and derivatives of any arbitrary real or complex order) has grown in popularity and relevance over the last three decades, owing to its demonstrated applications in a wide range of seemingly disparate domains of science and engineering. It does give some potentially valuable tools for solving differential and integral equations, a variety of other problems involving mathematical physics special functions, and their extensions and generalizations in one or more variables.
The concept of fractional calculus is widely thought to have originated with a question posed to Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (1646–1716) by Marquis de L’Hôpital (1661–1704) in 1695, in which he tried to understand the meaning of Leibniz’s notation for the derivative of order , when (What if ?). Leibniz replied to L’Hôpital on 30 September 1695, with the following message: “… This is an apparent paradox from which, one day, useful consequences will be drawn. …”.
The theories of differential, integral, and integro-differential equations, and special functions of mathematical physics, as well as their extensions and generalizations in one and more variables, some of the areas of present applications of fractional calculus include fluid flow, rheology, dynamical processes in self-similar and porous structures, diffusive transport akin to diffusion, electrical networks, probability and statistics, control theory of dynamical systems, viscoelasticity, electrochemistry of corrosion, chemical physics, optics, signal processing, etc.
Because of the importance of fractional calculus, researchers have utilized it to establish various fractional integral inequalities that are quite useful in approximation theory. Inequalities, such as Hermite–Hadamard, Simpson’s, midpoint, Ostrowski’s, and trapezoidal inequalities are examples, and by using these inequalities, we can obtain the bounds of formulas used in numerical integration. In [1], Sarikaya et al. proved some Hermite–Hadamard-type inequalities and trapezoidal-type inequalities for the first time using the Riemann–Liouville fractional integrals.
Set [2] proved a Riemann–Liouville fractional version of Ostrowski’s inequalities for differentiable functions. İşcan and Wu used harmonic convexity and proved Hermite–Hadamard-type inequalities in [3]. Sarikaya and Yildrim [4] used Riemann–Liouville fractional integrals to prove some new Hermite–Hadamard-type inequalities and midpoint-type inequalities for differentiable convex functions. Sarikaya et al. [5] proved the general version of Simpson’s type inequalities for differentiable s-convex functions.
In [6], the authors used Riemann–Liouville fractional integrals, and proved some of Simpson’s type inequalities for general convex functions. Chen and Huang provided another version of Simpson’s type inequalities for differentiable s-convex functions in [7]. Mubeen and Habibulla [8] introduced the notions of general Riemann–Liouville fractional integrals, called k-fractional integrals, and the authors used these integrals to prove some new Hermite–Hadamard-type inequalities in [9]. Using the k-fractional integrals, the authors proved Ostrowski’s type inequalities for differentiable functions in [10]. In [11], Zhang et al. used k-fractional integrals and proved different integral inequalities for general convex functions.
Recently, Sarikaya and Ertugral [12] defined a new class of fractional integrals, called generalized fractional, and they used these integrals to prove the general version of Hermite–Hadamard-type inequalities for convex functions. In [13], the authors used generalized fractional integrals and proved some trapezoidal-type inequalities for convex harmonic functions. Budak et al. [14] proved several variants of Ostrowski’s and Simpson’s type for differentiable convex functions via generalized fractional integrals. In [15], Awan et al. established some new Hermite–Hadamard-type inequalities involving Riemann–Liouville fractional integrals, and in [16], some new Hermite–Hadamard-type inequalities for k-fractional integrals were established. Khan et al. [17,18] proved some new estimates of Hermite–Hadamard-type inequalities for Riemann–Liouville fractional integrals and conformable fractional integrals. Set et al. [19] and Tunc [20] proved some new variants of Hermite–Hadamard-type inequalities for convex and h-convex functions, respectively using the fractional integrals. Zaho et al. [21] established generalized Hermite–Hadamard-type inequalities for interval-valued functions.
On the other hand, several papers focused on the functions of bounded vatiation to prove some important inequalities, such as Ostrowski-type [22], Simpson-type [23,24], trapezoid-type [25,26], and midpoint-type [27].
Motivated by the ongoing studies, we establish Newton’s formula-type inequalities for differentiable convex functions and bounded variations via Riemann–Liouville fractional integrals, and give some examples of their graphs to show the validity.
The following is a summary of the paper: The basics of fractional calculus and other relevant research in this discipline are briefly discussed in Section 2. We establish an integral identity in Section 3 that is critical in establishing the primary outcomes of the paper. Section 4 gives some new Newton’s type inequalities for differentiable convex functions using Riemann–Liouville fractional integrals. Section 5 contains some fractional Newton-type inequalities for functions of bounded variation. Section 6 finishes with some research ideas for the future.

6. Conclusions
We demonstrated some new Newton’s type inequalities for differentiable convex functions using Riemann-Liouville fractional integrals. Furthermore, we established fractional Newton’s type inequalities for bounded variation functions via the Riemann-Liouville fractional integrals. We demonstrated the validity of newly obtained results with a mathematical example and graphs. We also proved that the newly established results are the extension of already existing results inside the literature. It is new problem that the upcoming researchers can obtain the similar inequalities for fractal sets and coordinated convex functions in their future work.
