1. Introduction
Inequality theory is well known and still a fascinating field of research with a wide range of applications in several areas of mathematics. In mathematical analysis, convex functions are significant in the study of inequalities due to their specific geometric and analytical properties. Afterwards, mathematicians have been interested in fractional calculus due to its fundamental properties and its applications.
In [
1], Dragomir proved an estimate of the remainder for Simpson’s quadratic formula for functions of bounded variation and gave some applications for special means. Budak et al. [
2] presented some variations of Simpson-type inequalities using generalized fractional integrals in the context of differentiable convex functions. For additional information on Simpson-type inequalities and other features associated with Riemann–Liouville fractional integrals, readers can see [
3,
4,
5] and its references.
In the literature, evaluations for three-step quadratic kernels are frequently referred to as Newton-type results, because the three-point Newton–Cotes quadrature is a rule of Simpson’s second rule. In recent years, a number of mathematicians have focused on Newton-type inequalities. For example, in [
6], Erden et al. established some Newton-type integral inequalities for functions whose first derivative is arithmetically–harmonically convex in absolute value at a given power. Moreover, in [
7], Sitthiwirattham et al. offered some Newton-type inequalities for Riemann–Liouville fractional integrals by using convex functions and functions of bounded variation. Please refer to [
8,
9,
10] and its references for more details on the Newton-type inequality, which includes convex differentiable functions.
Dedić et al. [
11] constructed a set of inequalities using the Euler–Maclaurin-type inequalities, and the results were used to produce specific error estimates in the case of the Maclaurin quadrature rules. In [
12], the results were applied to provide some error estimates for the Simpson
quadrature rules. In paper [
13], several Euler–Maclaurin-type inequalities were considered for the case of differentiable convex functions. Moreover, in paper [
14], several Euler–Maclaurin-type inequalities were established using the Riemann–Liouville fractional integrals. The reader is referred to [
15,
16,
17,
18] and the references therein for further information on such types of inequalities.
The purpose of this paper is to use Riemann–Liouville fractional integrals to obtain Euler–Maclaurin-type inequalities for the different function classes. This paper is organized according to the following plan: In
Section 3, an integral equality is proved that is essential in order to establish the main findings. In
Section 4, using the Riemann–Liouville fractional integrals, some Euler–Maclaurin-type inequalities are constructed for differentiable convex functions. In
Section 5, we give several Euler–Maclaurin-type inequalities for bounded functions by fractional integrals. In
Section 6, some fractional Euler–Maclaurin-type inequalities will be proved for Lipschitzian functions. Moreover, in
Section 7, the Euler–Maclaurin-type inequalities are constructed by fractional integrals of bounded variation. Furthermore, in
Section 8, we provide several graphical examples in order to demonstrate the accuracy of the newly established inequalities. Finally, in
Section 9, the summary and concluding remarks are noted.

9. Concluding Remarks and Future Works
In this paper, we proved some Euler–Maclaurin-type inequalities for various function classes by using Riemann–Liouville fractional integrals. First of all, we gave an integral equality that is necessary in order to prove the main findings of the paper. Subsequently, several Euler–Maclaurin-type inequalities were investigated for differentiable convex functions by using the Riemann–Liouville fractional integrals. In addition to this, we gave some Euler–Maclaurin-type for bounded functions by fractional integrals. Moreover, some fractional Euler–Maclaurin-type inequalities were established for Lipschitzian functions. Furthermore, some Euler–Maclaurin-type inequalities were proved by fractional integrals of bounded variation. Finally, we gave several examples using graphs in order to show that our main result is correct.
In future papers, the ideas and strategies for our results about Euler–Maclaurin-type inequalities by Riemann–Liouville fractional integrals may open new avenues for further research in this field. Improvements or generalizations of our results can be investigated by using different kinds of convex function classes or other types of fractional integral operators. In addition, one can obtain some Euler–Maclaurin-type inequalities for various function classes with the help of the quantum calculus.
