1. Introduction
It is well known that convexity plays an important and central role in many fields, such as economics, finance, optimization, and game theory. Due to its various applications, this concept has been extended and generalized in several directions.
This concept is closely related to integral inequalities. The literature in this context is rich. One can easily find papers that deal with different types of inequalities via different kinds of convexity.
Over the past few years, numerous scholars have investigated the error estimates associated with specific quadrature formulas. Their aim has been to develop new refinements, generalizations, and variants. For additional details, readers are encouraged to consult references [

-convex functions as follows:

16] have derived specific Simpson-type inequalities for

-convex functions. Within the outcomes obtained for differentiable function

Motivated by the above results, we propose in this work to study one of the open three-point Newton–Cotes formulas called Maclaurin inequality, which can be declared as follows:
where
f is four times continuously differentiable function on
, and
=
, (see [
17]).
For this, we first prove a new identity involving Hadamard fractional integrals. On the basis of this identity, we establish some new Maclaurin-type inequalities for functions whose modulus of the first derivatives are -convex.

5. Conclusions
This study deals with the fractional Newton–Cotes-type inequalities involving three points by applying one of a novel generalizations of convexity, called geometrically arithmetically convexity. To study this, we have firstly proved a new integral identity. Based on this identity, we have establish some new Maclaurin-type inequalities for functions whose modulus of the first derivatives are geometrically arithmetically convex via Hadamard fractional integral operators, which are very useful and important fractional integral operators in fractional calculus. We hope that the obtained results could be motivation researchers working in the of fractional calculus, and serve as inspiration for academics to prove novel results using more generalized forms of convexity together with other fractional integral operators.
