This paper is devoted to establishing some functional generalizations of Hölder and reverse Hölder’s inequalities with local fractional integral introduced by Yang. Then, based on the obtained results, we derive some related inequalities including local fractional integral Minkowski-type and Dresher-type inequalities, which are some extensions of several existing local fractional integral inequalities.
If , , then one has the reverse Hölder inequality (see [2]):
where denotes the space of continuous functions defined on the interval .
The above two inequalities play an important role not only in pure mathematics but also in applied mathematics. A variety of generalizations and refinements have been studied in the literature; the reader can be referred to [3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12] and the cited references therein.
Nowadays, the theory of local fractional calculus, revised and perfected by Yang [13], has become a very important and popular tool to deal with various non-differentiable problems that appear in many fields such as image processing, cipher securityljio, chaos theory, theoretical physics, engineering sciences.
On the other hand, local fractional calculus also has gained important application in pure mathematics (see [13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31]). In particular, the local fractional calculus is utilized to establish some new inequalities which are extensions of classical real inequalities on certain fractal spaces. For example, Mo et al. [32] derived generalized Jensen’s inequality and generalized Hermite–Hadamard’s inequality on fractal space, Khan et al. [33] obtained generalized trapezium-type inequalities in the settings of fractal sets, Sun [29] given generalization of some inequalities for generalized harmonically convex functions via local fractional integrals. More recent results in this direction can be found in [13,14,15,16,17,27,29,30,32,33].
Recently, Yang [13] obtained the following local fractional integral Hölder inequality.
Assume that , , with , then we have
where denotes the fractal space, which consists of local fractional continuous functions defined on the interval .
Very recently, Chen [14] established a reserve form of (3) as follows.
Assume that , , with , then one has
It is needed to point out that if , then local fractional integral inequalities (3) and (4) reduce to inequalities (1) and (2), respectively. For more results on variations and generalizations of (3) and (4), please refer to [15,16].
Motivated by the above discussion, we shall give some new generalizations of (3) and (4). More precisely, the main purpose of this paper is to establish some functional generalizations of local fractional integral Hölder and reverse Hölder’s inequalities on fractal space. Moreover, the obtained results will be applied to establish several related local fractional integral inequalities, which are functional generalizations of some known results such as local fractional integral Minkowski’s inequality, Dresher’s inequality, and their corresponding reverse versions.
The reset of this paper is planned as follows. In Section 2, we recall some basic definitions and lemmas involving local fractional calculus which are necessary in the sequel. In Section 3, we first state the main results, and then applying the obtained results to establish local fractional integral Minkowski-type inequality and its reverse form. In Section 4, we give a subdividing of local fractional integral Hölder-type inequality. In Section 5, an improvement of local fractional integral Minkowski-type inequality and its reverse version are obtained. In Section 6, local fractional integral Dresher-type inequality and its reverse version are established. In Section 7, we present the conclusion.
